Earnings that are distributed to shareholders as dividends. They are stated in dollar amount per share and paid quarterly. Dividend Reinvestment Programs (DRP) give you the option of reinvesting dividends to purchase additional stock shares. Dividends are taxable income in the year they are paid.

Dividends are payouts to corporate shareholders based on a portion of the company's profits.
