A wonderful feature of many stocks is the reward of dividends to shareholders. Not all stocks trading on the Philippine Stock Exchange pay dividends to their shareholders, but many large blue-chip companies do pay dividends.Â
Dividends payments can be an attractive form of stock market investing. The payments can be made annually, quarterly, even monthly, and they come in the form of cash payments. Dividends can be a way to replace income, or they can be a way to use income to purchase more shares of stock.
When it comes to searching for dividend-paying stocks with healthy dividend yields, there is a great way to find them using BDO Securities’ Weekly Wrap.
