Quarterly Dividend

A quarterly dividend is a dividend paid on a schedule of four payment periods per year.

A simple example

Four quarterly payments of $0.30 per share total $1.20 per share over those four payments.

Why this matters to income investors

Quarterly describes frequency, not permanence, growth, coverage, tax character, or the exact dates of future payments.

How to use quarterly dividend in your research

Track each declaration, ex-dividend date, record date, and payment date. Separate regular quarterly payments from supplements and specials.
