HDFC Bank, the country’s largest private bank in terms of market cap, can make a big announcement on June 18. Let’s learn about it…
HDFC Bank’s board meeting is scheduled to be held on Friday (June 18). In this meeting, the bank can take a decision on the dividend. If this happens, then those who invest money in the stock will have a big advantage. If you try to understand it in easy language, then the company makes profit. She shares some part of it with her shareholders (buyers of shares). It is called dividend. Experts tell that the money the company has taken from you. She does business with it and shares the profit with you. But it is not mandatory for the company to pay dividend to the shareholders. If a company is giving dividend, then there is no guarantee that it will also give it further. Whether to pay dividend or not depends on the board of directors of the company. Experts say that this will not affect the customers.
Usually, after buying a share, if there is growth in it, then investors get the benefit of it. But can it happen that invest in one place and you will get profit in 2 ways on it. Many people will not have much idea about this. This is also possible in the stock market. You can take advantage of this by investing in high dividend paying stocks.
