What are stock dividends?
In: Economics
A stock is partial ownership of a company.
A dividend is your share of the companies profits based on how many parts you own.
So if a company made 1 million $ in a year and you own 1% of it you’ll receive 10.000$ as a dividend that year.
There are stocks that don’t pay dividends though. They are “reinvested on your behalf”
