Understanding Dividend Payout

Hi All,

For UOB, I'm looking at their historical dividend amount paid. For 2020, they show dividend 1.14000. Does that mean they are paying $1.14? So if I owned 1000 shares of UOB, it will get $1,140 in dividend?

Why does UOB pay so much dividend?

If I'm planning to up my dividend shares, UOB will be a good options?

Thank you.

How much dividend u get depend on how much qty u have.

Eg if today a stock cost $5, u invest with $1000, u got 200 shares. If DPU is $0.25, u get $50. Dividend yield = 5%

If today a stock cost $10, u got 100 shares, u get $25, dividend yield= 2.5%

So is it good to up the share to get more dividend? it still depend on the price you paid. Personally i think not worth to add more bank shares just for dividend for now.

Is good to have multiple dividend paying stocks so when 1 cut dividend, you will still have many stock paying you. Just opinon.

My question is regarding the dividends of a stock. A). Dividend payout - Let’s say stock A has a dividend period twice a year; usually is this payout fixed or usually they will announce?

How does dividend payout work? For example I have 100 S51 shares in my CDP, and the final dividend was announced at 0.02 cents, why the payout is only $1?

What apps or websites do you use to look at P/E ratios, dividend payout ratios, dividend payout trends etc?

In the nestle payout chart, the payout dividend is constantly increasing..for how long should I observe before saying its a good and stable dividend?

If I buy shares today when the ex date for dividend payout is tomorrow, would i still receive the dividend payout even though it takes a few days to process the transaction?
