Many of us have invested a good amount of money in the stock market. This is because investing in stock can give you positive returns in minimum time if done properly. However, there are other ways to make money from stocks and that is through dividends.
If a company generates profits quarterly, it can distribute a reward to its shareholders in the form of dividends. The company provides earnings in proportion of the number of shares you possess. The earnings are either shares or cash or cash equivalents.
For instance, let us suppose that a company gives a dividend of Rs 20 per share to its shareholders. If a shareholder holds 1000 shares of that company, he would receive an amount of Rs 20000 as dividends.
Investing in dividends provides investors with two types of potential profits: regular income from dividend payments, secondly capital appreciation over time.
Dividend-paying stocks are apt for those investors who want constant income or those who try to build their wealth by reinvesting dividend payments.
