Quarterly
Dividends for preferred stock are typically paid at a fixed rate, which is predetermined when the shares are issued. These dividends are usually distributed quarterly, although the schedule can vary by the issuing company. Unlike common stock dividends, preferred dividends must be paid out before any dividends can be issued to common shareholders. If a company faces financial difficulties, it may suspend preferred dividends, but they often accumulate and must be paid later if the stock is cumulative preferred stock.
