Simple Definition

A cash dividend is when a company gives some of its profits to its shareholders in the form of money. It's like a thank you for investing in the company. Sometimes, instead of cash, the company might give out property or bonds. There are different types of dividends, like cumulative dividends that grow over time and preferred dividends that go to certain shareholders first. A passed dividend is when the company doesn't pay out a dividend even though it usually does. Overall, a cash dividend is a way for a company to share its success with the people who own a part of it.
