Dividends and Splits

A company's dividend payment to stockholders represents the stockholder's share of the company's net profits. The dividend amount is decided by the company's directors; it is fixed per share and typically paid quarterly in cash (mailed checks). A split is a commensurate increase in the number of shares of outstanding stock without increasing the shareholder's equity. A firm's stock will split to reduce the market price and increase the stock's attractiveness to investors.
