Non-cumulative definition
Non-cumulative is relevant to preferred stock, or preference shares.
Preferred shares are usually issued with a stated dividend rate (a fixed amount in currency or as a percentage of the par value). However, non-cumulative preferred shareholders are not entitled to claim any dividends if the company does not make a payout at all.
