What are dividends?
Answer
A part of the company's profit distributed to shareholders. Dividend yield = annual dividends / stock price × 100%. Dividend aristocrats are companies that increase dividends for 25+ years. The ex-dividend date — you need to own the stock before it. After the ex-dividend date, the price drops by the dividend amount (dividend gap). In Russia, a 13% tax is automatically withheld.
