Eight companies have set their record dates this week to determine eligibility of shareholders for dividend payments.

Dividend payments to shareholders on a recurring basis are known as interim dividends. Interim dividends typically aren't as large as dividend payments made after the end of financial year. Generally, when quarterly earnings results are reported, these payments are announced.

On the other side, a final dividend is one that a company pays out following its annual general meeting, the conclusion of the relevant fiscal year, and the release of its annual financial results.

Companies offer dividends as incentives for equity investors seeking both revenue and an increase in share value.
