Thus the dividend yield is $0.27/ $3.15 and this will give you around 8.6%.    Blogging at moneytalk.sg on the stock market, ETF and anything to do with money.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	You can check their past dividends payout on the sgx website. Just sum up the total dividend for each year. Dividend yield is dividends divided by stock price. Thus it is hard to define what is the dividend yield for the past 2 years because the stock price can fluctuate. Furthermore, dividends are not fixed every year and the dividends payout may drop for this coming year. As a general rule of thumb, perhaps you can use the dividend payout for last financial year and use the current stock price now to compute the dividend yield. That should give you a rough idea of the current dividend yield. You can also look at SMRT and Singpost. They should meet your criteria. Some of the REITs are not that bad if you look at it. A few of them have secured their re-financing for the next two years and some of their rental tenants are on a longer term commitment. It's true that rentals may drop but how much can it drop ? Some of the dividend yield are at 10% to 20% now so even if it drops by half, you are still looking at an attractive 5% to 10% dividend yield. Furthermore, many REITs are selling way below their NAV thus there is a potential for one to have capital gains if one is willing to hold when the property market heats up in the next economic cycle.   Blogging at moneytalk.sg on the stock market, ETF and anything to do with money.

x 0   x 0  Alert Admin	Hi masters, am a newbie at this. i've reserached that good, consistent and stable dividend yeild plays are SPH, Comfort and ST Eng. can someone advise what the past two years dividend yeild % are for these, and if there are others that i can look at for stable healthy div payouts? i m also staying clear of REITs althouh short term div payout is good, i have concerns of re-financing and longer term prospects as rentals are renewed lower. thanks so much
