Why dividend yield, ignored in bull markets, matters: 6 stocks with high dividend yield of 5-9%
Nine months back there was hardly a stock with a dividend yield matching the interest rate of a savings bank (SB) account. Today, some have yields on par with fixed deposit rates. Now, consider a different point: The subjective nature of dividend payout and capital gains. Dividend payment is not only a function of how much money a company is making, but also a habit of the management, or its intent. There are companies sitting on cash piles but with low dividend-payout ratios. Capital gain is a function of many other things, some under the control of stock market players, and some not so much so. So, better focus on an element where there is still some certainty if management has the intent. And that is dividend yield.
