Understanding Dividend Investing
What are Dividends?
Dividends are cash payments made by companies to their shareholders, typically from profits. They provide regular income while you hold the stock, creating a passive income stream.
The dividend yield is the annual dividend payment divided by the stock price, expressed as a percentage. A 4% yield means you receive $4 annually for every $100 invested.
Dividend Growth Investing
