Over 10% dividend: Proximus and Solvay top the list of Belgian shares
Published
Investors in Belgium can expect high dividends this year. A new overview from DividendNieuws.be shows that all 29 shares on the list have a dividend yield of at least 5%. This means that shareholders receive, every year, at least five percent of the value of their shares as dividend.
The dividend is the part of the profit that a company pays out to its shareholders. The dividend yield shows how much this is in proportion to the share price. That percentage differs greatly from company to company. Proximus and Solvay top the list, with a dividend yield of more than 10%. These are the highest percentages in the overview.
The differences between the shares are therefore large, even though the lowest yield on the list is above 5%. For investors, it is important not to look only at the percentage. A high dividend yield can also mean that the share price has fallen. It is therefore wise to also examine a company's financial situation before investing.
The overview shows that Belgian listed companies in this segment can offer attractive payouts. Anyone interested in dividend shares can use the list as a starting point for further research. Investing always carries risks, and the value of a share can both rise and fall.
