SingPost *Official* (SGX: S08)

[homedriver]

Thinking to buy some SIngPost stock to get dividend since the price is cheaper than SPH, any advice?

 

[Garlic & Butter]

u should look at the % returns instead of the price.

give you an example:
UOB dividend of $700pa seems huge but its yield is 3.6%
SPH gives $250pa but yield is 6.6%

so compare the yield and fundamentals, not solely the price.

SingPost is like a rock. It just will not move!

At the current price, the yield is about 5%. Lower than SPH 6%.

But still better than bank interests.

Vested.

Cache yield 8% hor
even better

Even though Singpost bought over a few postage services.

But it is not really generating enough income to give higher dividends. In other words i can say it's quite stable for a yield stock of about 5%. Still better then parking your money in bank.

Should look at the yield %.

Please refer to http://yieldstocks.reitdata.com/ for more information.

As you say Singpost price is more "Rock" and cheaper than SPH.

Cheaper doesn't mean better ?
It's all about the dividend yield for both Singpost and SPH.

See, SingPost is rock solid.

Actually, SPH is oso pretty solid. Staying above $3.80

Vested in both.

Consider Starfug also.....

 

[addict951]

Telecom now moves to the top of the chart wif a jaw-dropping 8.5% yield based on today's midday closing px of 3.01

or 6.3% yield based on the coming 0.19 CD

the more it dives the more attractive it gets

My personal top 4 now
1. telecom
2. 1st reit
3. cache
4. SPH

[Dividends Warrior]
