Scrip Dividends

Home » CMA Glossary Term » Corporate Finance » Scrip Dividends

A scrip dividend is a type of dividend payment where shareholders are given the option to receive additional shares instead of a cash payout. This approach allows companies to conserve cash while still rewarding investors. Scrip dividends are often issued when a company wishes to reinvest profits into growth opportunities. Shareholders may choose between receiving shares or cash, depending on their preference.
