What Is a Dividend?

Dividend is the interest on stocks, which refers to the dividends that the joint stock company distributes to shareholders at the dividend rate from the after-tax profits of the provident fund and public welfare fund. Although the dividend is also the return distributed by the company to shareholders, the difference between it and the dividend is that the interest rate of the dividend is fixed (especially for preferred shares), and the amount of the dividend is usually uncertain. The amount of surplus fluctuates. Therefore, some people refer to the earnings of common stocks as dividends, while dividends refer specifically to the earnings of preferred stocks. Dividends are the residual profits distributed to shareholders in proportion to their shareholdings after distribution of dividends by listed companies. Obtaining dividends and dividends is the basic purpose for investors to invest in listed companies, and it is also the basic economic rights of shareholders. Dividends and dividends together are called dividends.
