1 can listed companies pay dividends in the third quarter?

There is no strict limit on the time for dividends. The dividend distribution time of the company can be decided by itself. But it is usually to distribute the retained earnings of previous years. Not the current income. Even if the current profits are distributed, there are no legal restrictions. The company law stipulates that the distribution can only be carried out after the provident fund is withdrawn, so this condition needs to be met. But since dividends are the authority of the shareholders' meeting, the shareholders' meeting must implement them according to sufficient basis. Legally speaking, it must also conform to the principle of capital preservation. Dividends should not be "excessive" and should be based on the results determined by the audit. On the other hand, it is an abnormal behavior for listed companies to pay dividends at abnormal time, which may cause some concern and lead to some negative effects. Unless the listed company is very sure, why bother?
