Corporate actions

Corporate actions are events initiated by a public company that affect the securities issued by the company. Typical corporate actions for equity securities are dividends or stock splits.

Dividends

The "Dividends" section shows the history of Dividend Per Share (DPS) payments. The total amount of dividends paid by the company for a given reporting period is available in the income statement.

The distribution of dividends affects the calculation of Total Shareholder Return (TSR), a measure of the stock performance that combines share price appreciation and dividends.

Stock splits

The "Stock Splits" section shows the history of stock splits and reverse stock splits.

Stock splits that increase the number of shares appear with an adjustment factor greater than 1. Reverse stock splits that reduce the number of shares appear with an adjustment factor lower than 1.
