Beyond serving as a financial reward, dividends often convey a signal of confidence that can positively shape a company’s market outlook.
Consistent dividend declarations and timely payments tend to strengthen investor confidence, attract income-oriented investors, and, in some cases, elevate a company’s standing on the Exchange.
