How often do you get paid by a company in case you've invest in???

Question

It is weekly, monthly or annually???????

Answer 1

Most listed companies pay no dividends. You make money by selling it at a higher price than what you paid. Of those that pay dividends, most pay quarterly (in the US). A few widely held companies pay their dividends annually in order to save on printing and mailing costs.

Answer 2

Some listed equities pay a dividend, which in the USA may be quarterly, semi-annually, or annually.

Unlisted equities, and others state in the paperwork how dividends will be paid.

Common Stock Dividends are decided by a majority of the stockholders, usually at the annual meeting.

Preferred Stock Dividends are usually paid semiannually, and the amount of the dividend is set at issue. The dividend remains constant, but the price of the preferred equity may fluctuate, resulting in a different rate of return to different holders.

Preferred Stock dividends, and the underlying capital hold a greater claim on the assets of a company.
