What are dividends?
Before we talk about the best dividend payers, let's better understand what dividends actually are.
A dividend is the right shareholders have to receive part of the company's profit in which they have invested their money. In fact, besides dividends, companies often also pay Interest on Own Capital - the famous JCP. So, whether called dividends or JCP, companies usually reward investors periodically with these distributions.
As for payment dates, there is no strict rule regarding when a company must schedule the distribution of dividends or JCP. However, there is an expectation in the market that the company will repeat the distribution announcements around the same time each year. But beware, besides not being a rule, this "prediction" of the distribution announcement refers to a period rather than a specific date.
Either way, growing your wealth through the distribution of JCP or dividends is an excellent way to create passive income with your stock portfolio.
