In the last few days, many IT and auto companies have announced their quarterly results. These companies have also announced good results as well as giving dividends. In such a situation, investors have a chance to earn double.
For the past few days, one word has been in considerable discussion. He is a dividend. If you try to understand it in easy language, then the company makes a profit. She shares some of it with her shareholders (share-buyers). It is called a dividend. Experts tell that the money the company has taken from you. She does business with it and shares her share of the profits with you. But it is not mandatory for the company to give dividend to the shareholders. If a company is paying dividend, then there is no guarantee that it will give it even further. Whether or not to pay dividend depends on the board of directors of the company.
What is dividend and dividend yield
The dividend paid to the investors in the company’s total profits is called dividend. The dividend is given per share. That is, the more shares an investor has, the higher the dividend amount will be.
Investing in a company with a consistently superior dividend record is considered safe.
Dividend Yield – Dividend Yield gives a safe return on the stock. The higher the dividend yield, the safer the investment will be. Dividend Yield = Dividend X100 / Share Price per share, only companies with Dividend Yield greater than 4% of the dividend. Better on the basis
Now the question arises here that who decides how much dividend will be received?
Asif Iqbal, head of research, Escort Security, says that how much dividend to pay, it is decided in the company’s annual meeting.
This is called the final dividend. If the company pays dividend in the middle of the financial year, then it is called interim dividend or interim dividend. Interim dividend is given when the company earns profit in the first half of a financial year.
