How do I receive stock dividends?

Recently, high-dividend stocks have gained widespread popularity. In bear markets, stocks are valued based on dividend yields; in bull markets, they are valued based on 'dream P/E ratios.' Below is a portfolio I created on Xueqiu (Snowball): 'Peace of Mind Dividend Collection'—its performance over the past year has significantly outperformed the CSI 300 Index. The portfolio mainly consists of the following stocks: Textile & Apparel (18.17%) Youngrun (SH600177) — ¥6.65 (+1.06%) — 7.22% Fuan Na (SZ002327) — ¥9.19 (−0.54%) — 9.06% Weixing Shares (SZ002003) — ¥10.57 (−1.67%) — 1.89% Utilities (16.38%) China Yangtze Power (SH600900) — ¥23.74 (−0.25%) — 4.85% Sichuan Investment Energy (SH600674) — ¥15.10 (−0.98%) — 5.77% Huaneng Hydropower (SH600025) — ¥8.84 (−0.67%) — 5.76% Transportation (7.39%) Xiamen International Airport (SH600897) — ¥12.71 (−0.08%) — 2.70% Shandong Hi-Speed (SH600350) — ¥7.41 (+0.54%)

Special Dividends (All statements herein reflect only my personal views and do not constitute investment advice or recommendations to buy or sell stocks.) Scenarios in which special dividends are distributed generally fall into the following categories: (1) Regular distribution of special dividends. Costco (COST) is a classic example: over recent years, its quarterly regular dividend has been approximately $0.6–$0.9 per share, while its special dividend amounts to $10 per share—making the special dividend a dominant component of total dividends. Such special dividends are typically paid roughly once every three years. Given COST’s superior business model and stable free cash flow, investors familiar with the company’s fundamentals can predict the timing of special dividends by analyzing factors such as capital expenditure plans and cost of debt. For long-term COST holders who have no intention of selling, allocating a small position to purchase shares shortly before an 'anticipated' special dividend payout can be highly rewarding. (2) Special dividends are virtually certain to be paid—but their exact timing remains uncertain. A U.S.-based private equity firm—whose controlling shareholder is the author of a best-selling book (with a light-blue cover)—holds substantial stakes in numerous startup companies. These startups enjoy high recognition within their niche sectors, and their valuations continue rising steadily; exit via public listing is almost inevitable. Yet, because the listed parent company historically paid no dividends, its stock suffered from poor liquidity and traded persistently below 50% of its net asset value (NAV) for extended periods. Its lackluster price action perfectly suited Graham-style value investors. Later, the company issued convertible bonds (CBs), initiating regular dividend payments—gradually improving its stock price. Ultimately, the equity stakes it held went public during 2020–2021, and the stock price rose sharply—a gesture of appreciation toward minority shareholders for their long-term patience and support.
