Dividends paid by a company allow investors to earn regular income on their investments. Dividend-paying stocks are always in high demand and sought after by long-term investors. A company that pays regular dividends is usually stable. Hence, including dividend stocks will strengthen your portfolio. Here is a list of upcoming dividend stocks that can bolster your portfolio.
Before we add the details, here is a quick reminder of ‘what are dividends?’
A company pays dividends to its shareholders. It is described as a reward given by publicly-listed companies. Dividends are a part of the company’s profit which it shares with its shareholders. Not all companies pay dividends. Hence, if you want to invest in dividend stocks, you must choose them.
A dividend is paid per share. So, if a company declares a Rs 2 dividend, then for your 100 shares, you will get a total dividend of Rs 200.
Dividends are paid on common stocks.
Cash dividends are paid on common stocks in cash. The companies pay the bonus directly to the brokerage account of the investor.
Instead of paying cash dividends, the company pays additional stocks to the shareholders.
Investors can participate in a DRIP program and reinvest the dividends to earn compounded returns. Participating in a dividends reinvestment program isn’t mandatory.
Companies can pay special dividends besides regular dividends to all shareholders holding common stocks. Usually, special dividends are paid on the company’s accumulated profit for several years.
Companies issue preferred dividends to preferred stock owners. Preferred stocks are different from common stocks and act more like bonds.
