Dividend of 100 companies announced for FY 2073/74.

Dividend is return distributed by the company to its shareholders from the net profit it had earned. Dividend can be of two types, namely stock (bonus shares) and cash dividends. Each and every fiscal year, companies distribute dividend to its shareholders if company succeed to make profit. Higher the rate of dividend, higher the attraction towards the company and vice-versa.
