Dividends are paid monthly. They are only paid if a corporation is profitable and has a profit sharing percentage set. If the corp has 0% profit transfer, then it won't pay anything until the corporation reaches a high level of cash, and then the game will force it to pay out profits to the shareholders. Either way you will get your profits eventually as long as you just hold the shares.

yes because in my portfolio i have a lot of profitable corporations but i'm not receiving any dividend since a lot of months... it means that profit transfer is 0%?

Yes exactly. Some people keep profit transfer at 0 in order to maximize corporation value. Once corps amass around 200B in cash, they automatically dump profits to the share holders. So one month your dividend could be quite large, and then have 0 dividends for several game months until the corporation hits the maximum again.
