A stock that currently doesn't pay dividend can be worth a lot of money, because the stock will eventually pay dividend.
An example:
Let's consider you own a stock with market value that represents 0.01% of the total world economy.

Yikes. I highly suspect your corp has under-reported income in the past, if you are claiming personal vehicle costs without corresponding business income. Seek paid advice from a tax expert about filing a "voluntary disclosure" to make things right before you do anything else.

It's not crazy to invest in the US - any non-US investors buying a 'global' fund are paying a withholding tax on US dividends within that fund.
This article discusses reducing the tax to 15% by personally claiming your country's tax treaty or by investing in an ETF that can claim a tax treaty.
For individual high-yield stocks, if you believe the US stocks ...

KWEB declared a special dividend of $2.58 on 12/29/21.
A special dividend is one that is not regularly scheduled so therefore you cannot screen or search for it. At best, if a company has a pattern of declaring special dividends, you might be able to anticipate the date but definitely not the amount.
And while you did not ask this, there is no benefit to ...
