Distributions of either cash or stock to shareholders by a corporation are called dividends. Coupon payments refer to payments made to bondholders, retained earnings are profits that are reinvested in the company, capital payments are not a term commonly used in finance, and diluted profits refer to earnings per share that are lower due to the issuance of more shares.
