A corporation's dividends are declared by the corporation's board of directors. The board evaluates the company's financial performance, cash flow, and future investment needs before deciding on the amount and timing of dividends. Once declared, dividends are typically paid to shareholders on a specified date. The decision to distribute dividends reflects the corporation's commitment to returning value to its shareholders.
