Divam Sharma, Co-Founder of Green Portfolio Private Limited (SEBI registration number: INH100008513) is a distinguished financial expert. We recently went into a conversation with him to discuss all things dividends and how they add value and sheen to your existing investments.

Here are some highlights from the conversation –

What are the Different Dividend Types & What is Their Impact? 

  • Types of dividends include regular, special, & asset class-specific dividends.
  • Dividend consistency & history can impact stock price & a shareholder’s appetite to invest.
  • Companies that pay dividends even during market crashes tend to be more resilient.

What are the Tax Implications of Dividend Income in India? 

  • Dividend income is taxed differently depending on whether shares are held for investment or trading purposes.
  • A TDS of 10% or a flat 20% rate is charged on dividend income depending on the shareholder’s status.

How to Evaluate Companies with High-Dividend Payouts?

  • Consistency and sustainability of dividend payouts are important.
  • Investors should also look at financial performance, including revenue growth, profit margins, & return on equity.

How to Analyse a Company’s Dividend Payout History?

  • Consistency: Has the company paid dividends consistently over a long period of time?
  • Growth: Has the company increased its dividend payments over time? A history of increasing dividends is usually a positive sign for investors.
  • Payout ratio: What percentage of the company’s earnings is being paid out as dividends? A very high payout ratio could indicate that the company is not reinvesting enough of its profits back into the business for growth.
  • Yield: What is the current dividend yield, which calculates by dividing the annual dividend payment by the current stock price? 
  • Industry comparison: whether the company is an outlier or in line with its peers.

What are the Risks Associated with Investing in Companies with High Dividend Payouts?

  • Sustainable dividend yields can only go so high, capital appreciation in the long term is essential. 
  • Companies that pay out most of their earnings as dividends may not be good investments. 
  • Investors should look for companies with high dividend paying stocks and capital appreciation potential.
