Brokerage firm Motilal Oswal Financial Services handpicked eight companies across sectors with sound fundamentals, free cash flow and healthy dividend yield
At the time when benchmark equity indices BSE Sensex and NSE Nifty are at their all-time high levels, select investors on Dalal Street must be looking for high dividend yield stocks as they provide a margin of safety and stable growth over a period of time.
The dividend yield is a financial ratio that measures the quantum of cash dividends paid out to shareholders relative to the market value per share. A high dividend-paying company also means that they are less risky and offer consistent growth along with logging large cash in their books.
Brokerage firm Motilal Oswal Financial Services handpicked eight companies across sectors with sound fundamentals, free cash flow and healthy dividend yield. Have a look.
