What are dividends?
Companies would declare dividends to its shareholders out of the profits earned by them. While such dividends are not fixed, this is like an extra income for the investors. In some cases, companies declare dividends even without generating profits in that year.
Dividend payout computation is done based on face value of the share price. E.g. Company X Limited shares have a face value of Rs 10. It has declared a Rs 5 dividend per share. In such case dividend payout ratio is = 5/10 = 50%. However, this would not show the true picture about actual returns on the investments. Here comes dividend yield.
Dividend yield is computed based on the dividends paid vs. share price of the company at any point of time. Let me explain with an example
e.g. Hinduja Global declared dividend of Rs 28 per share on 14-Feb-22. Its shares were trading at Rs 1,236. The dividend yield is approx. 2.2% (dividend paid / share price as of that date). The company has paid Rs 217 towards dividends at various dates in FY21-22 and the dividend payout ratio is 10.1%.
Hence, investors should worry about dividend yield rather than dividend payout.

Is it safe to invest in these high dividend yield stocks?
One should keep below pointers in mind before investing in these high dividend yield stocks.
1) Though these companies are paying consistent dividends, these are not guaranteed.
2) Majority of these companies are PSUs. The main motto for them is to provide some income to Govt of India. In case these are privatized, the dividend income might reduce. However, in case of privatization, there are greater chances that the share prices would increase.
3) Share price performance of these companies is very low. Many such companies’ share prices have fallen in the last 1 to 3 years. If your goal is to have high dividends + increase in share prices too, invest in consistent performers in these two areas.
