regular quarterly cash dividend financial
"declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of one dollar and six and one quarter cents"
A regular quarterly cash dividend is a set amount of money that a company pays to its shareholders four times a year, usually every three months. It provides investors with a steady income stream and signals that the company is generating consistent profits. For investors, receiving these payments can be a reliable way to earn returns and assess the company's financial stability.
shareholders of record financial
"The dividend is payable on October 2, 2026 to shareholders of record on September 4, 2026"
Shareholders of record are the people officially listed as owners of a company's stock on a specific date. This matters because only these shareholders are entitled to receive dividends or vote at company meetings. It's like being on the official guest list for a party—you get to enjoy the perks and have a say.
