How to evaluate dividend stocks?
As mentioned before, dividend stocksare usually well-established companies with a good earning history. The following three parameters could help you differentiate between stocks.
Dividend yield
Dividend yieldis the dividenda company pays out annually and is related to the stock price.Real estate investment trusts (REITs) usually pay higher than average dividends.Thehigherthedividend yield is, thebetter.In addition, the dividend's growth should be in line with the company's long-term earnings.
Payout ratio
Payout ratio refers to the dividends paid out as a percentage of a company's total earnings.A high payout ratio, notably exceeding 100%, could lead to questions regarding the long-term sustainability of a stock. In contrast, a low payout ratio could indicate that a company is reinvesting most of its earnings to expand its businesses. In other words, investors should treat the payout ratio critically, whether it's high or low.
Dividend history
The corporations with the best long-term dividend payment records typically have had consistent payout ratios for many years. Is the company's dividend distribution continually increasing? And how long has the corporation paid a dividend to its stockholders?
How to conduct dividend investing？
（1）Aim for a high dividend yield
Investors with a short-term horizon can focus on slow-growing, established companies with a large cash flow that could pay substantial dividends.
（2） Choose high dividend growth
Long-term investors should concentrate on buying stocks of firms that are proliferating but pay lower-than-average dividends. The returns might look small shortly, but the dividend yield should steadily increase as a company expands.
To evaluate the potential of a specific stock, investors can look at its past performance from reports that contain various charts. The following bar chart of WLMIY (Wilmar International Limited) forecasts dividend growth based on itshistory. Assuming that the annual dividend growth rate of $Wilmar Intl (F34.SG)$ is 15.73%, Wilmar's dividends double every 4.7 years.
Several notes on dividend investing
Dividends of any company are not fixed and can be adjusted at any time.
Mature and large companies usually provide dividends with modest growth rates.
Suppose investors focus on companies with substantial dividends only. In that case, they may miss out on fast-growing companies that have not started paying dividends or are paying a small amount of dividends.
