5 Stocks Paying Out Dividends this Week

As a kid, I loved pocket money. But the money that guests gave me when they were leaving has a special charm to it. I loved it even more than the pocket money.

Now, I love companies that grow over and provide hefty returns. But the companies that pay dividends, and also grow have a special charm. I love these companies even more. Like I love these 5 companies paying out big dividends in August 2022.

One of the qualities of fundamentally strong stocks is regular dividend payments.

Dividends are like a secret weapon in an investor's armoury. Good dividends are a source of steady income especially in volatile markets.

Especially in times like 2022. When most investments are losing their charm, dividends are a saviour. Like these 3 companies which have announced big dividend pay-outs in 2022, are indeed a ray of hope in dark times.

Investment Takeaway

Companies with strong business and deep pockets can deliver consistent returns and also the promise capital gains.

While dividend-paying companies offer stability of returns, the dividend is paid from the profits of the business.

Hence earnings per share (EPS) of the business may reduce if the dividend per share (DPS) is very high. So one should carefully analyse whether dividend pay-out is within the earning capacity of the company.

When an investor decides to add a stock to his portfolio, he should take a holistic approach and look into all aspects carefully.
