Ameris Bancorp (ABCB) Dividends & Splits

ABCB, or Ameris Bancorp, is a financial holding company that provides banking services to individuals and businesses. As a publicly traded company, ABCB offers dividends and splits to its shareholders. Dividends are payments made by a corporation to its shareholders as a distribution of profits. The dividend yield is a financial ratio that shows how much a company pays out in dividends relative to its stock price. The payout ratio, on the other hand, is the percentage of earnings that a company distributes as dividends to its shareholders.

Ameris Bancorp announces its dividend ex-date, which is the date on which a buyer of the stock is no longer entitled to receive the upcoming dividend payment. A split, or stock split, is when a company decides to divide its existing shares into multiple shares, thereby increasing the number of outstanding shares. The split multiple is the ratio at which the shares are split. For example, if a company announces a 2-for-1 split, for every one share held, the shareholder will receive two shares. The dividend amount per share is the specific dollar amount that each share receives as a dividend payment.
