What are high dividend stocks?

High dividend stocks are shares of companies that pay above-average dividends compared to other stocks. In the Philippine market, a dividend yield above 4% is generally considered high, though yields above 7% should be carefully evaluated. These dividends represent a percentage of the stock's price, known as the dividend yield.

Why should I invest in high dividend stocks?

High dividend stocks offer several benefits: 1) Steady Income through regular dividend payouts that can serve as passive income, 2) Lower Risk since companies with consistent dividends are often financially stable, and 3) Growth Potential through dividend reinvestment and compound returns.

Which sectors typically offer high dividend stocks?

In the Philippines, sectors known for high dividend-paying stocks include: Utilities (like Aboitiz Power Corporation), Telecommunications (such as PLDT and Globe Telecom), and Real Estate, particularly REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) like AREIT and RCR.

How is dividend yield calculated?

Dividend yield is calculated by dividing the annual dividend per share by the current stock price and multiplying by 100. For example, if a stock pays ₱5 per share annually and its price is ₱100, the dividend yield is 5%.

What risks should I consider with high dividend stocks?

Key risks include: dividend sustainability (whether the company can maintain its payments), dividend cuts during financial struggles, slower growth due to prioritizing payouts over reinvestment, market volatility, interest rate changes, and sector-specific risks. Very high yields (>10%) may indicate market concerns about sustainability.

How can I start investing in high dividend stocks?

To invest in Philippine high dividend stocks: 1) Open a trading account with a licensed broker, 2) Research companies with strong dividend histories and sustainable payout ratios (less than 70%), 3) Diversify across different sectors, 4) Monitor company financials and dividend announcements regularly.
