what is a dividend?     

A dividend is an amount that is shared by companies to their shareholders from their yearly profit. The company can reinvest its profits in business for the growth of the company or that profit can be distributed among the shareholders. Dividend payout is decided by the BODs of the company and this needs the approval of the company’s shareholders and after deciding the dividend it can be paid on quarterly or annually basis.

Dividends payment follows a sequence of events. There are three dates that investors should understand, let’s have a look at every important date, step by step:

Announcement Date: The date at which companies announce about dividend decision that they are going to issue to their shareholders, and on the same day they also announce the others important days as well, like Ex-date and Record date.

Ex-dividend Date: This date is the last date for dividend eligibility. Means if, the shareholder who is not purchasing the share till this date he will not be eligible for a dividend. Although, if shareholders buy the stock of the company a day before the ex-date will get dividends.

Record Date: The date at which the company defines, who are the shareholders, are eligible for a dividend. That means, if you bought a share of a company a day before the ex-date, then the dividend will be transferred to your bank account or Demat account in T+2 days.

What Is Dividend Yield?

Dividend Yield is the sum of money that companies pay to their shareholders over the financial year.

Formula:-        Dividend Yield = (Annual Dividend / Share Price)*100

This shows that the total dividend paid by the company during the financial year or over the last four quarters.

Key Notes:

• Dividend yield is the amount of money that is paid by the company to its shareholder for owning the share of the company
• This is the estimated one-year return of an investment in stock, paying a dividend is not necessary for every company.
• Dividend is mainly paid by the mature companies and mainly those are dealing in utility and consumer industries
• The higher dividend yield is not always a good investment option.

Dividend Pay-out Ratio:

It is the total per cent of net income or profit after tax that is distributed as dividends among the shareholders. This is not the gentle way to invest in a stock whose dividend pay-out ratio is greater than 100 per cent as the company will become unsustainable in the longer period.

High Dividend Yield Stocks VS Growth Stocks

Investing in a high dividend stock is the best source of income. The problem is, dividend yields are relatively low that is 4-5 per cent (this number is considered as high dividend yield). People need a lot of capital to get meaningful income. Although if you have a 500,000 rupees dividend yield stock portfolio yielding per year around 3 per cent that’s only 15,000 rupees a year. You should ask yourself, is this much of dividend yields return is worth for investment.

Out of some multi-bagger stocks, I’ve had over years, none of them is high dividend yield stocks. I’m pretty sure high dividend yield stocks will give you more than 100% returns if you invest them for a longer period. But if you are a man like me, you would like to build your fortune sooner instead of later. So, before you are going to invest in high dividend stock for a longer period firstly you should focus on how much return you want from your money. Just a nominal return of 4-5% or to earn 20-25% per year by investing in high growth stocks.
