- ComodoHacker 10y agoMonsters of such scale should be viewed from different points, including social responsibility. BTW why do you bother as a shareholder, do you receive any dividends?
- spacehome 10y agoI don't have the slightest idea if they pay dividends. I own Google shares indirectly via ownership of index funds.
- ComodoHacker 10y agoGoogle shares will grow regardless of how much taxes they pay. But they may fluctuate if tax evasion scandal breaks.
- spacehome 10y agoThat's strawmanning my position. I would prefer they grow by 7.1% than 7%.
- zig 10y agoIt's very easy to look at Alphabet's financials and see that there are no preferred or common shareholder dividends. Since you haven't done that, I presume you are genuinely curious. There are probably a lot of reasons that people invest in corporations that don't pay a dividend. The "most obvious" is that you believe the company is growing. The organization will reinvest in itself -- instead of paying you a dividend -- and increase share price to a degree greater than you would have gotten with a quarterly dividend.
- ComodoHacker 10y agoYes I haven't looked but I supposed there's no dividends, only growing shares value.
