Viscofan has implemented a Flexible Dividend program. This allows each shareholder to choose whether to receive their dividends in the form of new shares, shares that are sold on the market (if I'm understanding the language correctly), or cash.

I suspect Trade Republic doesn't know how to report this kind of dividend program.

Always trust the company's official reports over trading platforms and data aggregators. Platforms and aggregators can have data glitches, and aggregate data in different ways to be comparable across companies.

Plus, a "zero" dividend makes no sense. Dividends on common stock are not required so a company would not report a "zero" dividend; they just would not report a dividend at all.
