A small stock dividend refers to the issuance of additional shares to existing shareholders, typically less than 20-25% of the current shares outstanding. This distribution does not significantly affect the market price of the stock and is recorded by transferring a portion of retained earnings to the common stock and additional paid-in capital accounts. Small stock dividends are often used to signal confidence in future earnings.
