quarterly cash dividend financial
"declared a quarterly cash dividend"
A quarterly cash dividend is a payment made by a company to its shareholders four times a year, usually based on its profits. It is like a regular bonus or reward for owning the company's stock, providing shareholders with income. Many investors see these payments as a sign of the company's stability and its ability to generate consistent profits.
annualized basis financial
"$2.88 per share on an annualized basis"
Annualized basis means converting a return, rate, or growth observed over a shorter period into the equivalent over a full year, so different time spans can be compared directly. Think of it like measuring how many miles you’d drive in a year based on a week’s trips; investors use it to compare performance, interest rates, or growth, but it’s a projection and doesn’t guarantee the same pace will continue for the full year.
stockholders of record financial
"to stockholders of record as of November 4, 2026"
Stockholders of record are the people or entities whose names appear on a company's official shareholder list on a specific cutoff date set by the company or its transfer agent; only those listed are entitled to receive dividends, vote at shareholder meetings, or participate in other corporate actions. Think of it like a guest list for an event: being on the list on the set day determines who gets the benefits and rights, so investors must own shares before the cutoff to qualify.
