Every year (technically speaking), a company shares it’s profits with its investors from various segments. This profit is known as a dividend. There are two segments of investors – preferred & common stock. A preferred investor gains a higher position over common stock. When a company pays out the dividend, it pays first to the preferred segment. Also, in cases of accumulation of dividend (owing to special circumstances), the payment is first routed to the preferred stock & then over to the common. When dividends routed to the common stock overflow, the excess is distributed amongst the preferred class.
