Dividend %

I have a doubt on how dividend % is caluculated is is it caluculated on facevalue or any thing else...

Pls. If you can post the to dividend giving companies...

Thanx in advance

YES BRIJWANTH JI,IT SURELY IS CALCULATED ON THE FACE VALUE
YOU CAN CHECK TUESDAYS ECONOMIC TIMES (MARKET DATA SECTION) FOR SUCH DETAILS

Dividend% is calculated on the face value of the stock. So if a company XYZ has declared 20% dividend and the face value of the share of the company is Rs 10 then you will get 2Rs dividend per share.
Yield% is calculated on the current market price of the stock. I will continue with the above example. So if the stock of XYZ company is quoting at say 50 Rs that means that on 50Rs you are getting a dividend of 2Rs which is 4% of 50Rs thus your yield% is 4% and dividend % is 20%.

If you want to find out high dividend yielding stocks you can go to moneycontrol website where they have a section on high dividend yielding stocks.
But I would like to warn you, high dividend yielding stocks are risky and are generally in cyclical businesses.

Hope I solved ur query...

Yes I could not agree more with the above two posts. It is calculate on face value.

for example HCL Infosystem Ltd has announced 100% dividend (Jan 2007). The share is trading at Rs 176 odd but the face value is Rs 2.00 only. so the dividend payout per share is Rs 2 /-.

Hope it answers your query.

thanx to you all for replying to my query.
