Dividends are payments made by a company to its shareholders as a portion of its profits. Not all companies choose to distribute dividends, especially in the early stages of their development. Whether or not you can receive dividends on IPO shares depends on the specific policies and practices of the company in question.

In some cases, companies that conduct an IPO may not have a history of paying dividends initially. Instead, they may focus on using the capital raised through the IPO to expand their business.

At the same time, some companies may choose to pay dividends even after going public through an IPO. These are typically more established companies that generate consistent profits.

Before investing in IPO shares, it's important to research the company's financial state, business model, and dividend policy. Remember that dividends are not guaranteed, and even if a company has a history of paying dividends, future payments can vary depending on the company's financial performance and management's decision-making."
