Frequently Asked Questions
What makes a dividend stock 'good' on the NGX?
A good dividend stock combines a strong yield with sustainable earnings. Look for companies with positive EPS, stable cash flow, and a history of consistent payouts. Extremely high yields may signal risk.
Should I focus only on dividend yield?
No. Yield alone can be misleading if the stock price has fallen sharply. Always check earnings (EPS), P/E ratio, and business stability before investing.
