Understanding the difference between Dividend Yield and Dividend Payout Ratio is crucial when investing in dividend stocks.
Qatari Investors Group (QIGD) currently pays the highest dividend in the market at 9.3%.
With a Dividend Payout Ratio of 15%, this dividend level is likely to be sustainable in the future.
Qatari Investors Group (QIGD) and Industries Qatar (IQCD) also pay out healthy dividends, i.e., 8.9% and 7.8%, respectively.
However, IQCD's Dividend Payout Ratio is exceptionally high at 110%, indicating that the company paid more dividends than its net income. In the long run, such dividends might not be sustainable.
Doha Insurance (DOHI) and Barwa Real Estate (BRES) offer slightly lower dividends at 7.7% and 7.0%, respectively, both with sustainable payout ratios.
While high dividends can be attractive, sustainability is crucial for long-term investments.
