Get Started Investing Bitesize: What's a Dividend?
If you're interested in investing in stocks, you've probably heard of dividends. Dividends are a way for companies to share their profits with shareholders. As an investor, you're entitled to a portion of the profits based on the number of shares you own. Dividends can provide a steady stream of income and are often paid out on a regular basis.
