how common are stock/scrip dividends (as opposed to cash dividends) in us equity markets?

check out the nasdaq and nyse websites(the exchange in which the stock is listed) for detailed information. most of the websites which collate dividend payments generally have cash payments history only e.g. dividata. and because a company has given stock dividends in the past doesn't guarantee such in the future, i believe you already know that.
