- Argosy will pay a Q2 cash dividend of 1.6375cps for FY22, due to be paid on 22 December.
Dividends are not a guaranteed source of income, but they are a common source of income for investors, with corporations paying dividends on a regular basis (quarterly, semi-annually and annually).
The Board of Directors of a company announces dividend payments and, in some cases, also have the authority to revoke them.
Let’s have a look at how these 5 dividend stocks are doing.
