Dividend policies of companies

Dividend policy of Nestle

Dividends, upon approval by the Annual General Meeting of shareholders (AGM), are proposed
dividend per share paid once a year. The dividend payment date is set by the Board of
Directors, and is usually a few trading days after the Annual General Meeting.

Dividend policy of Engro food

The company declared interim dividend in annual journal meeting that distribute to
shareholders before a company has determined its full-year earnings. The dividends are
frequently distributed to the holders of a company's common stock on either a quarterly or
semi- annual basis.

Dividend policy of Coka cola

It is no surprise the world's largest beverage company offers hefty dividends and is part of that
exclusive group of stocks known as dividend aristocrats. To be considered a dividend aristocrat,
a company must have a managed dividend policy that has increased its dividend payout for at
least 25 consecutive years. The company first raised its dividend in 1963 and has continued to
do so ever since. The company announced in mid-2018 it raised its dividend again, making it 55
consecutive years it has done so. Not surprisingly, that startling fact places it squarely in the list
of so-called dividend aristocrats. The quarterly dividend announced by Coca-Cola in February
2019 was 40 cents a share. That represents a yield of about 3.41%, roughly double the average
dividend paid by consumer goods stocks.
