Key Takeaways
Dividends are important in stock investing because they give shareholders a steady source of extra money. Large corporations that make a lot of money and have stable finances usually pay significant dividends. Investing in these companies can benefit in two ways: your shares can become more valuable over time, and you get regular dividend payouts. This year, stocks with a market capitalization of over N1 trillion have emerged as the titans of the NGX. As of August, their total market capitalization stood at an eye-watering N25.1 trillion.
