Large Stock Dividend

Home » CMA Glossary Term » Financial Statements and Reporting » Large Stock Dividend

A Large Stock Dividend refers to a distribution of additional shares to shareholders, typically exceeding 20-25% of the existing shares. Unlike a small stock dividend, which is less than 20-25%, a large stock dividend significantly alters the equity structure, impacting market perception and stock price. This term is crucial in understanding the differences in shareholder equity adjustments between large vs small stock dividends.
