Buying on dividend yield does not always pay

Image
The trend of lower dividend payouts means that investors may not be able to count on steady cash-flow from dividends while the economy is in this growth phase. Shanthi Venkataraman In a volatile market such as now, should you invest in a stock for the dividend it pays? Conventional wisdom suggests you should. In a market downtrend, buying stocks of companies with a high dividend yield is considered a good defensive strategy. Dividend yield, which is dividend per share as a percentage of the market price, is a classic "value" measure that allows you to zoom in on stocks that are only temporarily out of favour, or perhaps under-priced. The dividend yield strategy has, however, not paid off very well in the last couple of years in the Indian market, except for brief phases. Growth (high PE) stocks have outperformed 'value' stocks globally. Besides, the universe of stocks offering a good dividend yield in India has also shrunk considerably.
