Dividend Stocks
Dividend stocks are shares of publicly traded companies that regularly distribute a portion of their earnings to shareholders in the form of dividends. These dividends are typically paid out on a quarterly or annual basis and provide a way for investors to earn income from their investments, in addition to potential capital gains from increases in the stock price. Companies that pay dividends are often seen as stable and financially healthy, as they have sufficient profits to share with shareholders. Dividend stocks are popular among income-focused investors, such as retirees, who seek to generate steady cash flow from their investment portfolios.
