Check out the dividend-paying stocks in March

One of the things that many equity investors look forward to is receiving dividends from the companies they have invested in. Dividends are part of the company’s profits which are distributed amongst its shareholders. While the excess profit retained is reinvested into the business or is used to clear off debts and financial obligations.

As investors, investing in dividend-paying stocks is beneficial as it can prove to be an additional source of income along with the returns generated by the appreciation in the share price. On the other hand, it can also help offset the losses that could be caused by a decrease in the share price. Companies that pay regular high dividends attract many investors.

Investors can find high dividend paying companies with the help of the Dividend Yield ratio. The dividend yield ratio signifies the amount of dividend that is being paid in relation to the price per share.

The dividend is often given out in the form of cash. The dividend is declared in a percentage of the share’s face value.
