Dividend-paying companies offer a safer bet with capital gains uncertainty
ETIG has identified 10 stocks offering dividend yields of 4% or more based on FY25 payouts: Vedanta (6.3% yield), Coal India (5.7%), REC (5.4%), Hindustan Zinc (5.3%), GAIL (5.1%), ITC (4.8%), ONGC (4.6%), RITES (4.5%), NMDC (4.2%), and Oracle Financial Services Software (4.1%).
AgenciesThe select list of cos includes Vedanta, Coal India, Hindustan Zinc, ITC and GAIL
A caveat for investors looking at dividend yields – the current yields are based on the past year’s dividend payouts. While companies do strive to maintain a stable dividend payout relative to net profit on a longer horizon, fluctuations due to government policies, economic and geopolitical uncertainties cannot be ruled out especially when such aberrations tend to affect profitability. For instance, ITC’s stock currently trades near the 52-week low amid a sharp rise in tobacco excise duties since February 1, which has affected investor sentiment. While the company continued to declare an interim dividend of ₹6.5 on January 29, same as in the previous year, future payout will depend upon how well it can protect profitability amid a higher excise duty regime.
In addition, effective yields will vary depending on investors’ marginal tax rates, as dividends are taxed in shareholders’ hands. For instance, a taxpayer facing a marginal tax rate of 30% and 4% educational cess will receive an effective dividend yield which will be over two-third of the calculated yield. For such a taxpayer, Vedanta’s effective dividend yield will be around 4.3%.
Also, the list does not include companies such as TCS, HCL Technologies, and UTI AMC, where yields are high due to special dividends. To be sure, companies operating in the sectors with high cash generation such as the IT sector tend to distribute special dividends more often than others.

A suspect has been arrested after rat poison was found in baby food jars in parts of Europe, sparking a chilling safety scare.
HiPP, a Germany-based organic baby food maker, said Saturday that a man has been arrested in connection with jars contaminated with rat poison in Austria, Slovakia and the Czech Republic.
“We are greatly relieved by this development and thank the investigative authorities for their dedicated work,” the company said, while noting more updates will follow.
The suspect, who is 39 years old, is currently being questioned by authorities, The Associated Press reported, citing the Burgenland State Criminal Police Office.

Five tainted jars were pulled from shelves in Austria, the Czech Republic and Slovakia before anyone consumed them, but authorities believe at least one more contaminated product could still be out there, according to BBC News.
The investigation began April 18, after poisoned baby food was discovered in a jar purchased from a supermarket in Eisenstadt, Austria.
Forensic testing confirmed rat poison had been mixed into the jar, according to the Burgenland State Criminal Police Office.

HiPP recalled all its baby food jars from SPAR supermarkets in Austria, while retailers in Slovakia and the Czech Republic cleared the brand from shelves, The Associated Press reported.
The case also involves attempted extortion, according to HiPP.
“The blackmailer sent a message to a non‑personalized shared mailbox that is checked at longer but regular intervals as part of our standard operating procedures,” the company said. “As soon as HiPP became aware of the message, the company immediately informed the police authorities responsible.”

HiPP is urging consumers to watch for warning signs — like damaged lids or strange odors — and to not use products that have any irregularities.

Step on to the tarmac at any major airport around the world, and you’ll notice an unmistakable smell. A slightly sweet, oily scent, redolent of old workshops or antique paraffin lamps. It is as much part of the travelling experience as lukewarm coffee and queues at passport control. It is, of course, the pervasive smell of jet fuel.
