About Dividend Investing
Dividend investing is about building a portfolio that pays you to hold — generating regular income even when markets are flat or falling. In India, where FD rates hover around 7%, dividend stocks need to offer genuine, sustainable yield above that bar to be attractive on an income basis. But the dividend yield shown on screeners is a trap if you don't look behind the number.
High dividend yield can mean two very different things: a genuinely generous company returning cash to shareholders, or a distressed business whose stock price has fallen so far that even a modest dividend appears as a high percentage yield. The screens here distinguish between the two using payout ratio (below 80% — the company retains enough cash to grow and sustain dividends), profit growth (dividends are coming from rising earnings, not borrowings), and ROE (the underlying business is healthy).
