Some companies pay dividends but many do not. Technology companies are good examples of companies that pay little or no dividends. If you want to know if a company pays a dividend and it is an actively traded company, go to Yahoo Finance and look the company up. It will tell you whether the company pays a dividend. Also the current price of the stock.

No.

It's normal that many companies don't pay dividend. To find out whether ur company has: ,
1. go to the company website and check investor relations section and if paid it will be stated there.
2. Check the company financial statements for the past 3 years (again investor relations section of the website), in Profit and Loss account it will describe the dividend paid.
3. Go to finance.yahoo.com. A. Find out company's symbol (click symbol lookup). B. Go to the home page, in 'get quotes' enter the symbol and do the search. C. It will bring u to ur company's page. D. On left side click - company events and here check the last 3 years events. If dividend was paid it'll be listed here.

Not at all - it depends on the companies dividend policy.

Some companies pay high dividends to make their shares attractive to shareholders who want this income, others reinvest dividends to grow the company which appeals to shareholders who want capital growth.

They are under no obligation to pay a dividend and is therefore best to invest in companies who dividend policy is in line with your needs.

Some companies don't pay dividends, particulary US ones.
And some companies may reinvest the dividend for you automatically.

Which Company is it?

As others here have told you, most companies do not pay dividends. Typically, growth companies can't afford to pay dividends, because they need to plow the money back into operations to fund growth.

Mature companies can afford to pay dividends. In the past, many avoided dividends and did stock repurchases instead. They did this for tax reasons. With the change (two years ago) in how dividends are taxed, more companies are now paying dividends.

If you want to find out if your company is paying dividends, go to Yahoo Finance (see link below). Then bring up your company's stock. Click on the "Key Statistics" link. Dividend information will be displayed in the bottom right portion of the page.

many companies have internal growth rates high enough that you don't want them to pay dividends as company can better utilize the $$. At least 1 answer seems to be talking about mutual funds which I assume you are not.

Does the company pay a dividend? If they do - are you sure they aren't re-investing - meaning turning into new shares?

Why would you wait 3 years to follow up on something like this?


NirmalJain
u can only get dividend as & when the company makes profit and decides to share it with shareholders. the frequency & amount r not certain.
