High Dividend Stocks
Posted in Other - Business & Finance on April 25th, 2009 by Gilbert Stockton – Be the first to commentThere are different kinds of investors who invest in the stock market; some look for easy and quick money while others look for great inflow from high dividend stocks.
Some stocks may give small earnings but an expensive PE i.e. price to earnings ratio. The investors who buy these stocks expect considerable growth and look for good returns in the form of stock price appreciation. These investors are not satisfied with a mere 10% per annum; their real aim is to make 10% in couple of days.
How is price to earnings ratio (PE) calculated? The calculation is simple enough. All you need to do is take the share prices and divide it by the expected earnings of every individual share. The result will be your PE ratio.
People say that a PE should be approximately the same as its growth. For example if a particular company’s stocks started trade at $1.00 per share and ultimately reaches $1.25 over the trading period then the growth rate is 25%. Judging by the statement that the PE should be proportional to the company’s growth rate, the PE should be 25% as well. But as you very well know, the stock market can be highly unpredictable sometimes.
The PE ratio follows the stock rice. If the stock goes down so will the PE ratio. Many investors look for a good PE ratio what that pays good dividends to decrease the variance in the price and return.
A dividend yield of over 5% is very good ROI (return on investment) because even if the stock decreases or increases in price or even stays the same you will at least get your dividend percentage.
There are stocks with dividends of higher than 10% but you need to watch theses stocks because of dividend cuts in the future. Predictions and past experiences can cause dividend cuts.
