Paradorn Tiranapramut, Director of Research at Asia Plus Securities, provided information to Krungthep Turakij that SETHD shares are screened from large-cap stocks with high liquidity according to the stock exchange's standards. The dividends are distributed to 30 selected securities that have advantages in market volatility: they have lower volatility than other indices and currently run from January to July 9, 2024. SETHD shares give the best return in all indices -2.84%, but if dividends are added back, it will be +0.27%. The only index that is plus in all indices compared to SET in the same period, SET -6.8% while MAI -14.3%
So it can be seen in the past trend, even though the market conditions are volatile, SETHD stock has earnings to back it up, which leads to better performance in the coming period, SETHD stock will still be able to continue to outperform because dividend stocks are often speculated to be bought before the dividend is declared, which is now entering the interim dividend season in mid-August 2024.
Strategies for Buying Good Dividend Stocks Investors should buy about a month or two before the dividend is announced, so now is the time for investors to buy high-dividend stocks and accumulate them gradually. However, looking at fundamental factors is an important aspect in choosing dividend stocks.
However, when looking at the data, we find that SIRI stock has the highest dividend yield, ranking first, giving dividends for the past four quarters at 11.4% per annum, but this year the dividend is expected to be at 9% per annum, which is interesting for SIRI since the Q2 2024 dividend is still estimated to be good compared to other real estate companies, so when you enter and hold it, you will also get interim dividends.
After that, TOP stocks have given a return of 6.4% for the past four quarters, which is starting to improve the trend for the second half of the year from the fact that oil is still at a high level during the driving season. This year is entering the La Nina phenomenon and when the weather is colder than usual, the demand for fuel increases. Making the refinery benefit and at the same time, when there is a storm, foreign refineries will close. Which causes the supply to disappear, this is another case where refinery inventories also benefit. Therefore, investors can gradually accumulate because they will get good profits. The second half earnings trend is still expected to return well.
While PTTEP stock has a dividend yield of 6.3%, it gets the same benefits as TOP stock and TTB stock. Q2 2024 earnings are expected to grow on a quarterly and year-over-year basis and be more prominent than other banks as other banks may have declined somewhat. Dividend yields for the past four quarters have been 5.8%. Additionally, TTB stock is also among the top stocks in the Vayupak Fund, which also benefited.
Finally, ADVANC stock earnings are likely to grow in Q2 2024 on a quarterly and year-over-year basis, it is a technology-based stock and is considered a factor 5 and the full-year earnings are 4%.
Kornbat Worachit, Director of Research and Investment Services at Krungsri Securities, provided additional information that SETHD stocks are stocks that consistently pay dividends on a regular basis. Investors should choose stocks with earnings expectations that should continue to improve. In order to create opportunities in stocks that investors buy, there is a possibility that the stock price will rise in line with the operating results trend.
For SETHD stocks now that have higher profit potential in 2024 than 2023, which are considered good growth stocks, such as ADVANC stocks, INTUCH stocks, BBL stocks, WHA stocks, which are interesting.
