This goes a long way toward its ability to pay hefty dividends to shareholders. On a per-share basis, Microsoft produced $2.20 per share in free cash flow over the last nine months, and paid just $0.84 per share in dividends during this time.
Thus, if a person owns 100 shares and the cash dividend is 50 cents per share, the holder of the stock will be paid $50. Dividends paid are not classified as an expense, but rather a deduction of retained earnings. Dividends paid does not show up on an income statement but does appear on the balance sheet.xisting holders of the stock will receive the dividend even if they sell the stock on or after that date, whereas anyone who bought the stock will not receive the dividend. It is relatively common for a stock's price to decrease on the ex-dividend date by an amount roughly equal to the dividend paid.
