Introduction
Investing in dividend-paying stocks is one of the most efficient strategies to outpace inflation. Such stocks benefit investors in two ways – first, they allow them to make long-term profits through capital appreciation, and second, they provide consistent income through dividends. However, the dividend payout ratio and dividend payment per share may vary from company to company based on their financial performance and corporate goals.
