Taobiz explains Stock Dividend

Companies may decide to distribute stock to shareholders of record if the company's availability of liquid cash is in short supply. These distributions are generally acknowledged in the form of fractions paid per existing share. An example would be a company issuing a stock pidend of 0.05 shares for each single share held.
