Power of dividend income

 

One of the technology companies listed in the Indian National Stock Exchange (NSE) delivered a per-share dividend of 36 INR (0.48 USD) to its shareholders in the year 2021. Out of the 271 crores (2,710 million) outstanding shares, the promoters group owns 60.33% which is ~163 crores (1,630 million) shares. If you do the simple math, 163 x 36 ~5900 crores INR (787 million USD) in dividend income. That is the power of owning an established well-run business.

So, the obvious question is what is the use of knowing how much promoters earned? The point I am making is very simple. If you cannot start a business, own a piece of these kinds of business by buying their shares where you can reap the benefit from both capital appreciation and dividend income.

A few of the key elements to find a well-run franchise are:-

  1. Clean accounts and good corporate governance. 
  2. Ability to generate a return on capital employed substantially higher than the cost of capital. 
  3. Sustainable competitive advantage with its peers.
