Companies can choose different types of dividends. Among the most common ones are cash, stocks, and property.
Granted, the vast majority of companies paying dividends do so in the form of cash by sending shareholders a check or a direct bank deposit. The dividends you see in our Calendar are likely to be cash dividends.
Some companies choose to pay dividends in new stocks. It may be a temporary decision if they lack cash but still want to reward their investors. In this case, the dividend will be expressed in percentage points, so if you own 100 stocks of the company and the dividend is 3%, you will receive three additional stocks.
You may also get some type of property proportionate to your stocks, anything from art to the company's inventories. It is rare but beneficial since property has market value.
