Preference dividends are payments made to preferred shareholders before any dividends are distributed to ordinary shareholders. They typically have a fixed rate and are paid out regardless of the company's profitability, ensuring a more stable return for preferred investors. Ordinary dividends, on the other hand, are paid to common shareholders and can vary based on the company's performance and discretion of the board, reflecting the company's profitability and growth prospects. In essence, preference dividends provide more security and priority in payment compared to ordinary dividends.
