Dividend Paying Stocks in December 2022

Dividend stocks are always in high demand because they allow investors to earn regular incomes on their investments. Dividends are cash rewards paid by the company to investors from the profit earned. Dividend-paying companies usually are fundamentally strong and financially stable. Hence, adding these stocks to your portfolio bolsters your income and improves risk-adjusted returns. Here is a list of upcoming dividend stocks you can add to your portfolio. 

But before you begin our discussion, here is a recapitulation of ‘what are dividends?’ 

What are dividend-paying stocks?

Dividends represent a distribution of corporate profit to shareholders based on their stakes in the company. However, companies don’t need to pay dividends. Usually, it is rewarded from the company’s profit after meeting necessary expenses. Dividends can be distributed as cash, cash equivalents, or shares. Sometimes, companies will retain dividend payments to reinvest and accelerate growth.   

Impact of dividends on share price?

Paying dividends to shareholders doesn’t change the overall value of the company. But it lowers the overall equity value of the company by the exact amount the dividend is paid. It is because once paid, the dividend is permanently debited from the company’s account book and is irreversible. 

However, when a company declares a dividend, its stock price changes significantly. The demand for the company’s stocks increases as investors try to qualify for the dividend. Hence, it offers both capital appreciation and additional income to investors.
