Five Highest Dividend Paying Stocks in 2022

Table of Contents

Dividends- In this weekend’s blog, we will talk about 5 stocks which are consistently paying dividends.

But, before we get into the company’s names and details, let’s try to understand why companies pay dividends on stocks, as well as a couple of reasons why they might not.

Sharing Profits With Shareholders

Dividends are a way for businesses to share their profits with their shareholders. Dividends can be used by businesses to reward investors and entice them to stay. However, in order for a company to share profits with investors, it must first have profits to share.

As a result, dividends are most commonly paid by well-established companies with consistent revenue. These companies’ stocks are commonly referred to as income stocks because they pay out regular dividends.

To Attract Investors

Dividends can be an excellent way to attract investors because they know they will receive recurring income from the stock no matter what happens to its share price.

Dividends are an especially useful tool during periods when stock prices are stagnant or declining, as they provide investors with an opportunity to profit. Indeed, dividends can entice more investors during these seasons, causing the stock price of the company to rise.

Why do all Companies Don’t Pay Dividends

So, if dividends help to attract and retain investors, why aren’t they paid by all companies? While there are compelling reasons why some companies choose to pay dividends, there are compelling reasons why others do not.

For starters, when companies distribute profits to shareholders, they are not reinvesting them back into the business. Finally, those reinvestments can help the company grow, increasing the stock price.

Dividends stocks are less common among start-ups and other rapidly growing businesses that must reinvest in order to thrive. These stocks, known as growth stocks, are frequently regarded as a good trade-off for investors who anticipate significant capital gains.

Now let’s start with the names of the stocks

The company is a serious contender for large deals due to its greater experience than peers in implementing large, complex, and mission-critical projects. TCS’s ability to roll up, improve sales and marketing prowess, and willingness to take multiple big bets (different go-to-market models) are among the key drivers that should help it sustain its high-growth trajectory in the long run.

Page Industries Ltd.

Page Industries, founded in 1994, is the sole licensee of JOCKEY International, Inc. (USA) for the manufacture, distribution, and marketing of the JOCKEY brand in India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, and Qatar. Furthermore, it is the sole licensee of Speedo International Ltd. in India for the manufacture, marketing, and distribution of the Speedo brand.

Page Industries’ promoters (the Genomal family) have been associated with Jockey International, Inc. as their sole licensee in the Philippines for over 50 years. Because of the extremely successful relationship with Page’s promoters, when Jockey International, Inc. decided to enter the Indian market, they offered the family the opportunity to take up the India licence and set up operations in the country catering to the Indian market and Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka.

Page has built Jockey into an aspirational and best-performing innerwear brand in the country driven by leadership across men’s innerwear (#1), women’s innerwear (#1) and athleisure (top five).

The surge in men’s innerwear was driven by branding, positioning (aspirational brand affordably priced) and distribution. Women’s innerwear and athleisure have sprung on the pedestal of brand visibility and distribution created by men’s innerwear and—importantly—right pricing.

However, after the entry of Van Heusen into men’s innerwear, the company has giving good competition to Page Industries.
