There are more than 500 companies that are registered on Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX). There are only a few companies that can be categorized as the best dividend stocks. The dividend is the amount of money the company pays to its shareholders from its profit (either quarterly or yearly). All companies are not obliged to give dividends to their shareholders that’s why long-term stockholders try to choose to buy those securities that provide dividends along with the capital gain (increase in the price of share with time). In this blog, we will share the list of the best dividend stocks that provide dividends to their shareholders on a timely basis. We will share some data from the PSX Data Portal.
