"8.25% Fixed-Rate Series B Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock"
Non-cumulative describes a type of dividend or payment right where any missed distributions are not tracked or owed later; if a company skips a payment, investors do not receive that skipped amount in the future. Think of it like a one-time coupon that expires if not used: it can boost potential income when paid, but offers no catch-up protection, so investors face greater income uncertainty and should price in higher risk or lower yield expectations.
Perpetual Preferred Stock financial
"8.25% Fixed-Rate Series B Non-Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock"
A perpetual preferred stock is a type of share that behaves like a forever-lasting, fixed-income investment: it pays regular dividends and has no set maturity date, yet it represents ownership rather than a loan. It ranks ahead of common stock for dividend payments and in liquidation, so investors treat it as a mix between a bond and an equity stake; its value depends largely on the issuer’s credit and prevailing interest rates.
