Dividends are payments made by a company to its shareholders, usually out of its profits. The frequency of dividends being paid varies depending on the company and its policy.

Some companies pay dividends on a quarterly basis, while others may pay dividends semi-annually or annually. Some companies may also choose to pay dividends sporadically or not at all. The frequency of dividend payments is typically determined by the company’s management and is subject to change.

It’s important for investors to research a company’s dividend policy and track its dividend payments to gain a better understanding of its financial stability and potential for income generation. Dividends can provide a steady source of income for investors and can also be a sign of a company’s financial health and stability.
