Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan financial
"purchase shares of common stock through participation in the Issuer's Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan"
A dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan lets investors automatically use cash dividends to buy additional shares and often make extra share purchases directly from the company, usually at low or no commission. Think of it as an automatic savings plan for stock: dividends and optional contributions are turned into more shares, helping ownership grow through compounding and making regular investing simple and low-cost—key for long-term investors.
