Did anyone get their quarterly dividend direct deposited yet? Yesterday was the date and didn’t see it hit account yet

Give them a few more months and the rate will be back to 7% like it was 14 years ago. Of course, the stock price will be 50% lower than it was 14 years ago, but Stank will spin the win and the board will do nothing.

Of course, they have to ki-l the stock to get the dividend rate back to the 7% of 2012. However, Stank will claim it is a victory and the useless board will reward him.

Without the Junk Bond Yield.
Dividend Yield is just 4.2% to hold this no growth, debt dump truck, poorly managed, garbage CEO, shareholder abusing, ghost ship freighter of a company.

"AT&T's Free Cash Flow Declined Significantly Last Quarter". Stanks plan isn't working. Plan for a dividend cut down the road. Eliminating jobs isn't the answer. The Board must take immediate action, but all they do is collect a fat check.

I feel that Q1 earnings call will be a complete disaster. CK and DA are unhinged and have not grounded in reality anymore. They keep blaming employees, the market and even shareholders for their own personal failures. In a market where many companies are ki-ling it, SAP is left so far behind because of only one thing. A complete lack of strategy. There is no strategy besides we are doing AI in this feature. It is d-mb and shareholders will not be impressed anymore. Layoffs will take the price up a bit. They're increasing the dividend so shareholders will like that and the price will go up a bit. But there are no technical fundamentals that show growth compared to competitors. The Gartner magic quadrant and similar things are all bought for and even shareholders see through it. Even institutional investors are reducing stake in SAP. And SAP is trying to buy back its own stock like crazy because they want to pump it up temporarily. And so the share price will go up but come crashing down again. To less than 100. This is bound to happen before the end of 2026. And then in 2027, we will find out that CK gets a bonus of a quarter of a billion for this Katastrophe.

I have unvested RSU that pays me dividend? Is the amount reported in W2? I didn’t receive a 1099-div.

Hi, I’m considering leaving Chevron and noticed some employees wait until after April 2. I’ve heard this relates to dividends being credited to retirement accounts. Is that accurate, and does anyone know why that date is significant?"

FYI if u have Verizon stock in your 401k and choose to select cash instead of dividend reinvestment it gets treated as regular income when the dividend pays.

Just like this coming Monday.

Even though it’s coming from the 401k.

No penalty and depending how much stock you have can add up.

Just saying

The company announced a 20% dividend increase and a new $6 billion stock buyback program.

Someone ran a piece a few days ago about Chinese automaker BYD raising $5 billion to expand all over the place. New factories, new dealerships, very aggressive moves to increase global market share.

General Motors has even bigger plans - a giant new Stock Buyback and Shareholder Dividend Flimflam! Yay! USA! USA! USA!

Desperate times call for desperate measures. The dividend has got to go. It's only $13m a year, but XRX needs the $$ to pay interest. XRX should have fully eliminated the dividend when Carl left. Also, how stupid would it be to issue more shares without cutting out the dividend. XRX must go into serious cash preservation mode.

Mission accomplished, another quarter and another dividend for shareholders.

So happy wellness week went away to help cover dividends going up 2.5%. You'd think they wouldn't be so tone deaf and at least wait a quarter.

Interesting they cut the Dividend on the Common Stock by 90%, yet retained the $20 payment on the Preferred Stock.

No coincidence of the Preferred Stock holder being DD and his man is the Chairman of the Xerox Board.

Guys, let’s pleeeease all stop being greedy and wanting to keep our jobs. Here are some stats to show you guys how greedy you are:

• Verizon ONLY made $5 billion in net income last quarter. That’s practically nothing
• Worst yet, Verizon has ONLY made $20 billion in net income in the past 12 months. Practically bankrupt. Very unprofitable.
• Headcount was down over 45,000 under Hans. That’s nothing!!
• Since 2015, headcount is down ~80,000. Why not more!? Come on. Take one for the team, guys.
• Our dividend is ONLY 6.93% so we only pay out $11.6 billion a year to our shareholders in dividends. This clearly isn’t enough.
• Hans only made $24 million a year and Sampath only makes $13 million a year. This hardly buys you waterfront in The Hamptons.

You guys need to all stop being so greedy over paying your mortgages, your children’s college bills, and going to the supermarket.

We need to keep our shareholders and executives at the forefront of everything, because they are clearly suffering much more than we are.

I’ll be starting a GoFundMe soon because I doubt Dan Schulman’s bonus will be big enough, but I’m sure he has already asked Perplexity and brought it up at the dinner table with his family.

As a retired, original LP owner I am wondering why the most obvious question was not addressed.
How will this change affect annual payout percentage, for original owners, in the future. We have enjoyed an average 20% for many, many years. Will that most likely be reduced.

ConocoPhillips quarterly report was just published. From the highlights a couple things stand out to me... Very high exposure to US shale in L48 and $5 billion more in planned divestitures for 2026 are on track.

What's getting sold next that can generate $5 billion? Underperforming US assets? Someone else speculated Montney?

Richard Greedmore, CEO of MegaCorp Unlimited, had one guiding principle: the dividend must go up. It didn’t matter if the company was selling actual products or just the illusion of productivity—shareholders needed their quarterly dopamine hit.

One crisp morning, as Richard strutted out of his 97th-floor office (which had a view of the poor, for motivational purposes), he spotted a homeless man outside the building fumbling with a cup of change. A nickel rolled away, followed by a rogue dime. Richard’s eyes widened.

“Loose capital!” he gasped.

Without hesitation, he dove from the steps like a linebacker chasing a bonus. He snatched the nickel mid-roll and tackled the dime just before it hit the gutter. Passersby watched in horror and confusion as the CEO of a Fortune 500 company wrestled a penny from a pigeon.

“Every cent counts!” he shouted, holding the coins aloft like trophies. “This is shareholder value!”

He rushed back inside, burst into the finance department, and slammed the coins on the table.

“Add this to the dividend pool. We’re going up 0.0000000003% this quarter!”

The CFO blinked. “Sir, that’s... less than the cost of the paper we’d need to announce it.”

“Then announce it digitally!” Richard barked. “We’ll save on toner!”

From that day forward, MegaCorp instituted the “Street Sweep Initiative,” where interns were deployed to scour sidewalks for spare change. The company’s stock rose 0.0001%, and Richard was hailed as a visionary.

Meanwhile, the homeless man was hired as Chief Revenue Scout, earning minimum wage and stock options—vested over 97 years.

JPMorgan analyst Sebastiano Petti:

"We anticipate that Schulman will pursue an assertive strategy to accelerate Verizon's fiber footprint growth, with a heightened focus on convergence to lower churn and enhance consumer segment volumes and share. However, increased capital expenditures to support footprint expansion are likely to pressure free cash flow and impede the company's de-leveraging trajectory. As a result, we would not be surprised if Verizon suspends dividend growth to prioritize investment in growth initiatives and/or discretionary share buybacks."

I’ve seen many stock market analyst calls where turnaround, reinvention, etc are claimed. Same with initiatives like OwnIT, re-imagine, etc. Also revenue promises from things never really monetized: 3D print, digital paper, etc. I observe Wall Street eats it up and then, when these things didn’t deliver - silence. Maybe now that dividend and finances r in the toilet we might see a strong sell opinion? Not holding my breath.

It’s clear that what Mike Wirth is doing is cannibalizing Chevron for dividends to try to make it look like it’s a good company to invest in. No reserves = no future. Look at his history with the company. It’s all downward. Now he’s cannibalizing the company so that when he leaves, he leaves with a nice chunk of change.

Exactly what @am+1k728pwka said.

Atleast with Cigna, I can buy their stocks. USAA is customer owned and gives it policy holder dividends. Can policy holder of HCSC limit executive pay or play a role in governance?

Elliot is an activist vulture capitalist investment group. They buy company stock, bleed them dry and then move on like locust. They are the ones who ruined Southwest Airlines and canceled their longstanding "bags fly free" company policy.

They bought a large position of TI Stock in Spring 2024. They wrote a letter to the Board demanding that TI cut expenses and increase stock dividends. They have been pushing for a seat on the board, but have not gotten one yet. Shortly after the layoffs began and have become a quarterly occurrence.

An aggravating factor is that Chinese backed startups have poached our customers by underselling us. Demand for our biggest product lines have dropped in half, so the layoffs are becoming more intense.

Employees are out!

Paramount Skydance Corporation (NASDAQ:PSKY) has declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.05 per share for both its Class A and Class B shares. The dividend will be paid on October 1, 2025, to shareholders of record as of September 15, 2025.

"Another round of layoffs expected to impact 10 to 15 percent of our workers must be completed by November in order to meet our dividend needs."

This was told at the director's meeting this evening. When will this stop?!?
