Dividend Stocks

Dividend stocks are shares of companies that return a portion of their profits to shareholders in the form of dividends, usually paid out quarterly. This means that when you own these stocks, you receive regular cash payments, in addition to any gain from selling the stock at a higher price. Investors often choose dividend stocks for steady income and less volatility, especially in uncertain markets. Well-known companies, often in sectors like utilities or consumer goods, are typically the ones that pay dividends, reflecting stability and commitment to returning value to their shareholders.
