Rules of dividend-investing you can't afford to miss

Dividends mean a portion of the company's profits that are distributed to shareholders.

Dividend investing is a strategy where an investor focuses on buying stocks that pay regular dividends.

Dividends can provide a steady stream of income for the investor, making it an attractive option for those looking for a reliable source of passive income.

Dividend investing can also provide stability to a portfolio, as companies that pay regular dividends are typically more established and financially stable.

Look for stable and established companies

Choosing companies with a proven track record of stability and success is important while investing in dividend-paying stocks.

Companies with a strong balance sheet, a sustainable business model, and good growth prospects are more likely to continue paying dividends and increase their dividend payments over time.

The payout ratio is the percentage of a company's earnings that is paid out as dividends.

A high payout ratio can indicate that the company is paying out more than it can afford.

A low payout ratio can be a sign that the company is retaining more earnings for future growth.

Spread your risk and increase the stability of your portfolio by investing in a variety of companies across different sectors.
