Seriously, it seems to be hurting P/E and I think that's why profits have lowered and the value has actually lowered.
The corp is still making profit but less investment has lowered it's overall value somehow. Or maybe it's putting too many shares on the market. |

Hey, I'd also like to know how exactly dividends work. What do I do to get them?
Right now, my theory is 'hold onto shares for a number of years greater than indicated in the P/E ratio'. |

I assume you are asking about public corporation. The P/E should remain the same regardless of number of shares. The things that affect the P/E is the profit after tax and the share price. Profit after tax can be influenced by corporate tax in the country or by income and cost of the corporation. Share price depends on demand for the stock which in turn depend on P/E.
In short just try to increase your profit and it will work out.
Dividend is profit payment in public corporation. Take Profit Payment Paid and you get the amount equal to Profit Payment Paid/total number of shares * number of shares you own. |
