[Verse 1] Picture a company's boardroom decision Two dividend pathways before them tonight Stable means same dollar amounts each quarter Shareholders pocket fifty cents precise While constant payout takes a different angle Fixed percentage slice of what they earn When profits boom the checks grow fatter When earnings shrink the payments turn [Chorus] Stable stays steady, dollars don't dance Same cash amount through every circumstance Constant keeps ratio, percentage intact Twenty percent slice, that's the payout fact Two dividend worlds, which path will you choose? Stable or constant, different dividend news [Verse 2] Stable policy builds investor comfort Predictable income they can forecast Retirees love this steady river flowing Budget their lives on dividends that last But when the company hits financial turbulence Stable payments might strain the books Fixed dollar promises become anchors When earnings dive to desperate looks [Chorus] Stable stays steady, dollars don't dance Same cash amount through every circumstance Constant keeps ratio, percentage intact Twenty percent slice, that's the payout fact Two dividend worlds, which path will you choose? Stable or constant, different dividend news [Bridge] Constant payout flexes with the business cycle Earnings up, dividends climb the ladder Earnings down, payments shrink and tighten Financial health and payouts truly matter Management signals confidence or caution Through the percentage they decide to share [Verse 3] Growth companies favor constant ratios Keeping some profit for expansion dreams While mature firms lean toward stable dollars Consistent income fits their business schemes Investors must decode the dividend message What story do these payments really tell? [Chorus] Stable stays steady, dollars don't dance Same cash amount through every circumstance Constant keeps ratio, percentage intact Twenty percent slice, that's the payout fact Two dividend worlds, which path will you choose? Stable or constant, different dividend news [Outro] Fixed dollars or percentage slices Both dividend policies have their prices
