Steel Authority of India might be a steal
Published Wed, 04 Jan 2012 13:30 CET by DividendYields.org
Starting January 15, 2012, foreign private investors are welcome to invest in India's stock market. This comes at a moment where the SENSEX lost about 25% of it's value in the last 12 months. The government is trying to make the country more appealing to foreign investors to stabilise the market. Up until now, the only way for foreigners to invest in Indiais by purchasing index or mutual funds.Even in a bad economy, dividend investing is a good strategy for a steady return. That steady return is only achieved when the dividend is sustainable. An important measure of dividend sustainability is the payout ratio. A payout ratio of more than 80% might be an indication that the current dividend payout can't be sustained.
At the moment, the top 5 dividend yielding stocks on the National Stock Exchange (NSE) are Hero Motocorp, Tata Steel, Bharat Petroleum, Bajaj Auto and Steel Authority of India (SAIL). Looking at the dividend payout ratio, only the two steel producers Tata Steel and SAIL look interesting.
