Preferred term

dividends  

Definition

  • Dividends are a portion of a company's earnings distributed to the holders of its common and/or preferred stock. In other words, a dividend represents the shareholders' return on investment just as interest represents the return on investment on checking and money market accounts, certificates of deposit, bonds, and other fixed-rate debt investments.
