Dividend

Stock Markets are currently volatile, with bears gripping them. The macroeconomic risks are not boosting investor confidence either. While a Bear Market gives opportunities to pick the right stocks for future gains, adopting a dividend-yielding strategy in such a market works well, says Alpha2Sigma, citing historical data.

As per the broker, high dividend-yielding companies are typically mature, limiting the reinvestment scope. Such stocks generally belong to defensive sector companies, which tend to weather volatility and economic downturn better than cyclical sectors.
