Dividend Chaser on SPH as an investment

(From Article)

SPH is a good investment for income and it is a stock that can be accumulated on weakness. If share price should retreat to $3.60 a share, a DPS of 21c to 24c would mean a dividend yield of some 5.83% to 6.67%. Pretty decent.

So, in conclusion, if you are looking for growth catalyst in SPH, and hence higher dividend yield, don’t get your hopes too high.

Buying SPH will be buying into a stalwart, with a yield of between 5-6%, which is unlikely to see downward revision anytime soon, is not too bad a deal.

Peter Lynch classified stocks into 5 categories. "Stalwarts" are "big companies which are not likely to go out of business. The key issue is price, and the PER will tell you whether you are paying too much. If you plan to hold the stock forever, see how the company has fared during previous recessions and market drops."
