reinvested dividends financial

"plus, if applicable, stock reflecting reinvested dividends"

Reinvested dividends are payouts a shareholder receives from a company that are automatically used to buy additional shares instead of being taken as cash. For investors this acts like planting dividends back into the portfolio so each future payout can come from a slightly larger holding, helping returns compound over time and showing the difference between income you spend today and total growth of your investment.
