The .01c Div.

  1. Those .01c dividend companies.
    Doesn't the cost exceed the div?
    I don't get it.

    Some software limitation?

    See this case :

    It is quite common for CEOs to be paid zero dollars and zero cents due to whatever reasons.

    The system doesn't allow you to enter $0.00
    So you have to enter $0.01
    ie the CEO is being paid 1 cent every month.
     
  3. Maybe.

    it’s just that when I saw NVDA paid a one cent dividend,
    I thought,
    Why bother?
    So after the split, it will be a 10 cent dividend?
    Or one tenth of one cent…
    I’m confused…

    One reason that a company may pay a 1 cent dividend is so that can say "We have paid dividends for x consecutive years".

    If your dividend isn't even 1% what is the point?

    The problem is no one wants to buy a value tech company, its an oxymoron. HPE, CSCO, ORCL, etc. are dogs with fleas.

    some funds are required to buy a stock with a div.

    also some shareholder groups like a company to pay a div (even if a nominal one) to keep management honest.

    in this case maybe it’s how the founder funds his leather jackets.
