Invested around 2L in this company , got back the entire money in dividends only 😬
This year only got around 1.1L back as dividends in just 2 quarters
Wow seing DD becoming a stock market discussion forum . This is showing me on the homepage @admin is this kind of posts really meant to be on the home page.
I can understand topics like Best Credit Cards and Card Offers being on the homepage but is this Vedanta paying Third Interim Dividend something to show up on the homepage . Even if such a post is allowed the DD Admin team should really reconsider does this make any sense to be on the homepage . I am not a really active member these days but these kind of random posts really can putoff anyone accessing the website .
Also no offense to the OP of the post as his intention is merely promoting the company he is invested in and making others believe the amazing growth prospects. There are other stock market specific forums for eg valuepickr where Dimers can get much more valuable information and can create their own judgement of whether to invest or not and learn much more about investing.
Vedanta is a metals industry and these kind of businesses are cyclical in nature ie they have a short period of high growth followed by a cooldown in the industry for a large period which results in many of the companies going into losses and some becoming bankcrupt and being taken over by some other bigger players who has managed to survive. The key of investing in such industries is buying at the right point of time ( generally when the the industry is at the weakest and you would make the most of the profits ) . Cyclicals can given 5x 10x returns but the timing of entry and exit is most essential for such businesses .This needs careful tracking of the commodity prices , global scenario , whether any huge supply is being created by some other competitor or if there is any change in the consumer behaviour. This is maybe just a few things that needs to be kept in mind while investing in a cyclical industry like metals . Its better people do their own research and judgement rather than blindly following posts.
Thanks a lot for your sarcastic comment😄
Talking about this post being helpful or not, we have a few groups here on DesiDime that dimers actively follow to get updates related to the stock markets as well. This post is not promotional in any sense, which is pretty evident after the conversation I and other dimers had here. Also, the Stock market is a topic that has high user search intent even on DesiDime. Thus, we can conclude that such posts where we talk about some major news in the share market would be of help to those dimers who want to know more about it. Also, there are many users on the internet who search for high dividend-yielding companies to invest in.
So this post can help them be aware of such events, though investing or not is their own decision. Sorry if you felt that this post is promotional in any manner, though I personally do not remember myself investing in this company. Would surely do if I could get more valuable suggestions from smart dimers like you.
Thanks a lot for your comment though, it would surely help others understand the risk of investing in Vedanta as I couldn't mention this one point earlier.😊
@Sahil_Jain my intention at the first place was never to come to this thread. I saw the post on homepage and thats what triggered me in the first place to write in the thread.
Second the post topic does not make sense . If a person is not invested how can he earn dividend from the company. Also ex-dividend the share price falls by the same amount. What dividend payout shows is the company has real cash / bank balance and is just not making profits in the books of account . Excessive dividend also shows that company does not know where to invest their cash and hence high dividend yield may show that the company is at a mature stage and does not have any planned CAPEX and hence it may show a sign that the Company may not maintain its growth rate going forward. Dividend is not a very good indicator for investing but yes regular dividend payouts with low levels Debt/ Equity in addition to various other financial parameters may tell you that the company is not a bogus company.
Also linking to forums like valuepickr and informing dimers of how to make their investment decisions is something I added to the post to make people aware that investing is not easy and neither should we follow anyones recommendations.
What I wrote is because the post suggests that someone is invested and if you are not invested its better you dont write post like XYZ is paying Interim dividend . There are 100's of companies paying dividend every quarter I hope this is nothing special .
My last comment on this topic if u see the positives and take something out of my post good else nothing changes for me
Just like you mentioned the risks involved in this investment, I have tried explaining the same over and over again. You may not see anywhere in the entire post where I would have asked or even recommended someone to buy the shares of this company.
Next about Vedanta not being the only company to pay dividends, agreed! But it is one of those major companies that have been paying high dividends for a very long time. Many investors simply refrain from trading in a volatile market. Rather, they would wait for such companies to announce their dividend throughout the year.
Also, I agree that the shares' value would definitely drop a lot after the record date of the dividend. But what if someone is smart enough to wait for the share price to rise again? And, there would be many shareholders who would make more money per share with dividends than they would lose when the price drops. But then too, does this post says anywhere that one should buy these shares? I guess not.
Lastly, we may not have covered such news for so long, but after seeing many dimers' interest in the given topic, it is only natural for us to make such articles, right? The sole intention of this post was to let our readers know that this firm is about to have a meeting where it would likely discuss its dividend payout, nothing else. If a topic does not make sense to you, it's understandable. But the same topic can be useful for others, especially for those who are not as knowledgeable as you and are still trying to learn, my friend.
You can even go through our article on Keystone Realtors' IPO, where we have tried reaching out to everyone who might be interested in such news.
I hope this answer helps you understand my point of view too, and DD is a helping community, so we will always welcome all of your doubts wholeheartedly.
This means that all those shareholders who would have Vedanta shares in their portfolio till November 30 will get the dividend too. So if you are planning to make some quick money from the stock market while investing in a trusted firm, you may invest in Vedanta Ltd.
And while trying to make that quick money, one shouldn't get surprised as the price will fall to adjust the dividend paid out on the ex-dividend date!
Ideal strategy should be buying the dip after ex dividend dates and go for the long haul. Repeat after each dividend paid for buying at cheap and reaping dividends in the long run as well as averaging at low prices... Make it a portfolio stock and don't sell unless company fundamental/dividend policy drastically changes.
Yes, the best strategy is always to invest for a longer period of time, rather than trading for a day or two.
Thanks a lot for your input!
Will update the article right away
Investors must have realized the risk of holding it now as the share price may fall further after the record date. Or, they might repurchase those shares after the dip.
Also, please do not buy any shares on or after 29th November as every trade gets settled in T + 2 days. The 29th of November is also the ex-date of Vedanta's dividend and you need to place your order before that only.
So, I would say if you plan on buying Vedanta's shares for its dividend, do it when the market opens again, that is on the 28th.
Though, consider the share price too since it will take a nose dive after its record date.
Tell me the exact dates I can buy and sell, just for dividend gain. Thanks in advance.
HZL Dividend received in bank accounts on 1st Dec, so we can expect Vedanta Dividend in our bank accounts near 6th Dec 22
Generally, companies take up to a month to credit the dividend to their shareholders' accounts.
