investpy.get_stock_dividends could not convert string to float

Hello!

I get this error for some stocks:

In [2]: import investpy

In [3]: investpy.get_stock_dividends('USB', 'united states')

ValueError Traceback (most recent call last) in ----> 1 investpy.get_stock_dividends('USB', 'united states')

Hi, same problem here - I am looping through a list of stocks and getting dividents, but recently after adding a couple of new positions got that error as well:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Users/ash/opt/anaconda3/lib/python3.9/site-packages/investpy/stocks.py", line 908, in get_stock_dividends
    dividend_value = float(element_.getnext().text_content().replace(',', ''))

Code I am using to get dividents:

stock_info = investpy.stocks.get_stock_dividends(stock, country=country_data[countryiterator])

I managed to deal with this error by simply skipping stocks with such an error by using try/except clause like this:

except ValueError:
    print(' - ', stock, ' - DATA NOT FOUND')

I will try to dive into the source code and deal with this problem :)
