If you’re poking around the penny stock universe and landed on Greene Concepts, Inc. (INKW), you’re probably wondering: is INKW a generous dividend payer, or is it just another growth bet hoping for that “next big thing” status? This article is for investors who want clear, real answers—not the same old investor relations fluff. We’ll tackle:
The first thing everyone does—myself included—is to head over to Yahoo Finance or Nasdaq.com. Enter “INKW” in the search bar and scroll to the “Dividends & Splits” section (or similar). Here’s what I found (and yes, I tried a bunch of times, thinking maybe I missed something):
The dividends section is… blank. No payout history, no declared dividends, nada! If you don’t believe me, search yourself: you’ll see the latest dividend shown as “N/A”.
I once got burned, missing a special dividend on a microcap when it was buried in a random SEC filing. So, I checked OTC Markets’ Disclosure tab for INKW and their official press releases. Every “quarterly report”—no mention of dividends, ever, right up to 2024.
Even in investor forums like InvestorsHub and Reddit’s r/pennystocks, the recurring joke is that “INKW’s dividend is hope.”
Stocks listed on major exchanges (think S&P 500 members like Coca-Cola) are bound by clear dividend rules. But for OTC “penny” stocks like INKW, things get… fuzzy.
And yeah, I chased a rabbit hole into OTC Markets forums just in case—one user even posted: “If INKW ever pays a dividend, I’ll eat my 10-K.” Still waiting on that.
Just in case you’re curious (it did occur to me as a global investor), here’s how “verified dividends” differ for small stocks internationally:
Country | Definition/Standard | Legal Basis | Enforcement Agency |
---|---|---|---|
USA | Declared by company, reported in SEC filings | SEC Act 1934 | SEC |
UK | Announced via London Stock Exchange, must be notified to FCA | FCA Listing Rules | Financial Conduct Authority |
EU | Announced in annual filings; subject to shareholder approval | Prospectus Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 | National Market Authorities |
China | Dividends must be approved at annual general meeting and reported to CSRC | Company Law | China Securities Regulatory Commission |
So, in all developed markets, “verified” means it’s in a regulatory filing or public announcement. INKW? Nothing there.
A while back, a friend saw an old blog post claiming OTC water bottling stocks “could pay large special dividends” if they win a big contract. She bought $500 of INKW…and later realized after months of holding, not so much as a penny in payouts appeared in her account statement. Her broker’s reply (I’ve seen the screenshot):
I get it—I’ve been misled by social media rumors too.
Honest moment: the first time I looked for INKW’s dividend, I got tripped up by a “corporate action” row on my trading app. Turns out, it was a ticker symbol change notification, not a dividend. Facepalm. Equally, when scanning SEC’s EDGAR search for INKW/Greene Concepts, not a single dividend line—not even a rumor.
Here’s a tip for anyone: if you see a small cap with a dividend yield above 0.1%, double check! Algorithms or human error can glitch. Stick to official filings.
Let’s channel a hypothetical industry roundtable. Imagine someone from the OECD saying:
Translation: Don’t hold your breath for a dividend unless INKW becomes the next Nestlé.
To answer the original question: INKW does not pay dividends, nor is it known for distributing cash or stock to shareholders. It is (at best) a growth speculation. None of its regulatory filings, trading platforms, or analyst reports show proof of payouts. International standards all boil down to what’s documented—and here, there’s nothing.
If your goal is steady income, look at established, large-cap dividend payers (AT&T, Coca-Cola, utilities, or specialized ETFs). If you really believe in INKW’s story, sure, hold for potential speculative upside—but pinning portfolio cash flow on it? Not a bet I’d take, based both on industry norms and my own hard-learned lessons.

And hey, if INKW someday does start paying dividends, I’ll be first in line to admit I was wrong—and I’ll update this with confetti.
