Best 5 Dividend Stocks
Indian Economy & Market|June 2022
High yielding dividend stocks are best suited in volatile times. Presenting here five stocks that have the most consistent history of dividend payment and are likely to sustain.
Best 5 Dividend Stocks

METHODOLOGY

• We started with companies with dividend yield of greater than 4 per cent.

• After that we checked their consistency.

• They should have paid continuous dividend in last five years.

• Dividend payout ratio should be less than 100% of profits earned.

• Earnings growth of these companies should be greater than 10% in last three, five or seven years.

• From the final list we selected five companies based on other qualitative factors.

Jitendra Kapoor was a happy and carefree retiree enjoying his second inning. He was healthy with no responsibilities otherwise. Only regret he had was that his retirement corpus invested in bank fixed deposits were not earning him enough to beat high inflation. He was worried that he may outlive his retirement corpus.

Nevertheless, one of his morning walk friend gave him unsolicited investment advice of investing in stocks instead of keeping it in fixed deposit. His first reaction was that stocks are too risky and are very volatile. Nonetheless, his friend gave him list of 10 companies that paid high dividend last year, which was above the return provided by bank fixed deposits. Add to this the potential of capital appreciation. This was music to the ear of Jitendra, as it was best of both worlds. So he withdrew most of his investment out of bank fixed deposit and equally invested in top five companies shared by his friend, based on their dividend yield.

First few years he received dividend as expected and he took pride in his decision. But soon he started to receive lower dividend by couple of companies and some almost stopped paying dividend. To his dismay he saw share price of these companies also declining leading to capital loss. Few calls to his friends and he realized that companies are not obligated to pay dividend and there are also restrictions on companies on paying dividend.

NEW INVESTMENT PRODUCT CATEGORY IS SEBI'S LATEST MOVE COMMENDABLE?

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has introduced a consultation paper proposing a new investment product category aimed at addressing a specific market need. This proposed asset class would offer investment options that sit between mutual funds (MFS) and PMS, filling a gap and providing greater flexibility in portfolio management. The new investment vehicle is designed for investors who are prepared to take on riskier market positions but find PMS schemes or AIFs out of reach. SEBI after reviewing the feedback and finalizing the regulations through stakeholder discussions, may issue the final regulations.

What Is In Store For The Indian Economy?

Until the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, when the Bharatiya Janata Party secured 282 seats and Narendra Modi ascended to power, India experienced 21 years of coalition governments. A decade later, the BJP holds 240 seats in the Lok Sabha, and India is once again governed by a coalition. Fitch has indicated that coalition politics and a weakened mandate for the NDA could hinder the passage of ambitious reform legislation. It raises the question: Do coalition governments impede the economic reform agenda?
