But Don’t invest only for high dividend yield:
However, investors have to be wary of the companies on the list and should not invest only for dividend yield. Some of the companies have serious corporate governance issues and the entire capital invested in them may be at risk.
Zylog is a good example of this. Though it presently offers a high dividend yield of 9.6% and trades at a low PE of 0.4, this is because its share price crashed owing to some serious sell-off of the pledged shares of the promoters of Zylog.
The other problem is with stocks like Sree Shakti Paper Products which has an excellent dividend yield of 8.3%. However, the liquidity of the stock is low and so if you do end up with a large quantity of shares, finding a buyer may be difficullt.
So, before investing, investors should also take a good and hard look as to why the dividend yield is so high before committing their funds.
