Dividend history is important because it reflects a company's consistency in returning profits to shareholders. A stable or growing number of dividends over the years, like in the chart, suggests financial strength and a commitment to rewarding investors. Frequent, regular dividends can provide a reliable income stream and indicate a company's long-term stability, while any reduction or irregularity may signal potential financial challenges.
These are the institutional investors who hold significant stakes in a company's stock, influencing its market dynamics and potentially offering valuable insights to stock traders seeking strategic investment opportunities. These companies often have large teams of analysts and complex financial models that lead them to invest in certain businesses and avoid others. When they move into or out of a stock it can cause large swings in the price due to the volume as well as the signal it sends to other investors about their confindence in a stock. It can help provide a "credibility" signal if large well known institutions hold a stock.
