Understanding Dividend Investing

What are Dividends?

Dividends are cash payments made by companies to their shareholders, typically from profits. They provide regular income while you hold the stock, creating a passive income stream.

The dividend yield is the annual dividend payment divided by the stock price, expressed as a percentage. A 4% yield means you receive $4 annually for every $100 invested.

Dividend Growth Investing

  • • Focus on companies that increase dividends annually
  • • Reinvest dividends to compound your returns
  • • Look for sustainable payout ratios (under 60%)
  • • Consider dividend aristocrats and kings
  • • Balance yield with dividend growth potential
