What is Dividend Yield?

Usually expressed in percentage, it is the dividend per share, divided by the stocks price per share.

Dividend yield is meant to compute the return on investment (shares), taking into account only the returns in the form of total annual cash flows declared by the public-listed entity company during the year

Unlike preferred stock, there is no stipulated dividend for common stock (aka “ordinary shares”).

Instead, dividends paid to shareholders of common stock are declared as and when it is available, by management of the company, usually with regard to the company’s earnings.

Past dividend declared should neither be taken as an indicator or expectation for future dividends; in fact, there could even be none at all.

---

Dividend Yield Formula (Calculation)

You may wonder, the price of a stocks and dividend declared changes frequently, so how is stock dividend being calculated?

The general formula for dividend yield: [Most Recent Full Year Dividend / Current Stocks Price]

For instance, [RM 1 / RM 20] x 100% = 5%

This is usually done to compute Trailing Dividend Yield.

Trailing dividend yield represents dividend percentage paid over a prior period, typically one year. A trailing twelve month dividend yield, abbreviated as “TTM”, includes all dividends paid during the past financial year year to calculate the dividend yield.

While a trailing dividend can be indicative of future dividends, it can be misleading as it does not account for dividend increases or decreases, nor does it consider any special dividend that may or may not be declared in the future.

On the contrary, Forward Dividend Yield is a projection of the future dividend yield of a stock. It may be derived from an analyst’s estimate, or simply, the company’s guidance.

The computation is done by taking the first quarterly or half-yearly dividend payment and annualize it.

Then, divide that number by the current stock price.

In other words, if the first quarterly dividend was 5 cents and the current stock price was 10 per share, the forward dividend yield would be (.05*4)/10= 2%.

Is dividend investing worth it?

You may wonder if dividend stocks are generally safer than other stocks, and are dividend stocks worth it?

The short answer is – Yes absolutely because it gives you ‘safety net’ in the form of tangible cash flow even though the stock price is down and you experience unrealized paper loss on your stocks holdings.

Watch the lesson below to comprehend more.

Why Dividend Investing?

You may wonder if dividend investing work,

…or whether dividend stocks are Good or Better than other stocks that don’t distribute dividends on regular basis

Traditionally, any stocks with above average dividend yield are deemed desirable among stocks investors.

Here’s why

A high dividend yield can reflect on undervalued or underpriced nature of the company relative to its stock price.

or that the company has fallen on hard times and future dividends will not be as high as previous ones.

Similarly a low dividend yield can be considered evidence that the stock is overpriced or that future dividends might be higher. Some investors may find a higher dividend yield attractive, for instance as an aid to marketing a fund to retail investors, or maybe because they cannot get their hands on the capital, which may be tied up in a trust arrangement.

In contrast some investors may find a higher dividend yield unattractive, perhaps because it increases their tax bill.

In a bullish stock market, dividend investing tend to become less popular stocks investors and speculators alike are chasing price appreciation over dividends as the main form of return on investments.

In a bearish share market, however, dividend investing becomes the favored playbook for long term investors.

Dividend investing strategy for passive income? 

There are more than thousands of companies listed in the stocks exchange. How do you choose the stock to invest in, the ones that will give you passive income for retirement, while you sleep soundly at night?

This lesson will help you start at a high level, before you shortlist exact stocks (business) you want to invest into.

note: when you invest in unit trust or even robo advisor like Stashaway, you can check income distributions of the funds, because these come from the stocks dividends as well.

Dividend stocks are usually the Resilient type.

When do dividend stocks pay out?

If a dividend is declared, shareholders are notified via press release and the information is usually reported through major stock quoting services for easy reference. This is step one of the process, called the declaration date.

At the time of declaration, a record date, or date of record, is set, meaning all shareholders on record on that date are entitled to the dividend payment.

The day following the record date is called the ex-date or date the stock begins trading ex-dividend. This means that a buyer on ex-date is purchasing shares that are not entitled to receive the most recent dividend payment. The payable date follows usually about one month after the record date.

Usually dividend payment schedule is either half yearly or quarterly, rarely month (although that would be nice!)
