Dividend has remained one of the key factors that traditionally drive stock market activities and aid investment decisions towards stocks across the globe, and the Nigerian bourse is not an exception.

A dividend is a payment made by a corporation to its shareholders, usually as a distribution of profits. For example, Dangote Cement Plc’s shareholders will be receiving a dividend of N30 per share or a total of N511.23 billion on May 31, 2024. Zenith Bank will pay a total dividend of N109.886 billion, representing N3.50 per share to its shareholders electronically on May 8, 2024, while BUA Foods to pay shareholders dividend of N5.50 per share or N99 billion on September 26, 2024.

In order to collect dividends on a stock, shareholders simply need to own shares in the company through a brokerage account or a retirement plan such as an IRA. When the dividends are paid, the cash will automatically be deposited into shareholders accounts.

Coronation Research in its writeup titled ‘The Glorious Dividend’ said over the past four years the NGX Exchange’s All-Share Index has delivered exceptional returns.
