- Dividend Yield stocks are favourites of those investors who invest for Long Term, based on fundamental.
- These stocks declare dividends – mostly on annual basis.
- These stocks are consistent in their dividend payouts. And their dividend payout policy are spelt out in their annual report.
- Hence it is better to invest in these stocks, in anticipation of dividend, between March and mid May.
- And it is sensible to invest in these stocks at low price, since the return on Investment (ROI) by way of dividend : shortly called as Dividend yield, is maximum if the purchase price is cheap.
Positives of Dividend Yield Stocks:
o
Regular cash flow in form of dividend.
o
Since dividends are declared out of Profit after
Tax (PAT), dividend declaring companies are usually profitable. There could be
exception when dividends are declared out of exceptional income / other income.
It is better to invest in dividend yield stocks who have healthy operating profit.
o
High dividend yield stocks provide downside
protection: If the stock price plunges,
dividend yield goes up. This is seen as investment opportunity by fresh
investors. This renewed buying helps the stock to recover on the trading floor.
Hence there is chance of early recovery due to genuine buying interest.
o
Hence such stocks are ideal for Risk-averse
Investors (eg:senior citizens) and new investors
o
DYS are less volatile (low beta stocks).
o
Investors in DYS are usually long term
investors. And such stocks attract higher delivery percentage when compared to
intraday volumes. Speculators usually donot prefer DYS.
Negatives of Dividend Yield Stocks:
o
Companies with high dividend yield could have
limited opportunities to grow their business. Hence these companies payout of
the cash profit in form of dividends.
o
Hence such stocks appreciate very slowly in the
market.
But investors should keep in mind that Stock Market
Investing is not only about Risk taking and benefiting out of capital
appreciation. It is better to have a blend of capital appreciating stock and
high dividend yield stocks.
