👉 Seeking Alpha's Quant Growth & Income — special price of $449/yr: DISCOUNT LINK Sponsored by Seeking Alpha. Opinions are mine.
Some companies hand shareholders extra shares every year instead of raising the cash dividend, and it looks like free money. It isn't. In this video, I break down what a stock dividend actually is, why your broker records it as a stock split, and why selling those bonus shares to create a higher "yield" is really just a withdrawal from your own account. We look at what happens to the share price the morning after, and check the one number that settles the argument: 20-year total return with dividends reinvested, measured against the S&P 500. If you own Dividend Kings for the streak, or you've ever seen a stock with 60 straight years of dividend growth and assumed the payment kept going up, this one is worth nine minutes. Covers Tootsie Roll Industries (TR) and Commerce Bancshares (CBSH), dividend safety scores, payout ratios, and why the growth of the underlying business matters more than any yield on a screener.
