       Why Dividend Yield Stocks

●        Relatively more stable business models with a history of consistent profitability, and a dividend payment track record

●        Companies pay dividends after attaining a sustainable level of growth

●        Need to pay dividends tends to make the management more accountable to shareholders and less prone to taking unwanted risks

●        In case of a market crash, the share price of these companies tend to fall less in comparison to growth stocks. Hence low-risk defensive stocks.
