Dividend investing is an investment strategy that focuses on buying stocks of companies that pay regular dividends to their shareholders. The goal of dividend investing is to generate a steady stream of passive income through the receipt of dividend payments.

Dividend payments can be used to supplement retirement income, reinvested in additional shares of the company, or used to finance other investments. Companies that pay dividends are typically well-established and profitable, and they may offer greater stability and less volatility than growth stocks.
