Trendlyne's new page for top dividends is live. Dividend yields of stocks have been adjusted for Bonus and Splits for accurate yield calculation. The data also lets you know if the company issued a special dividend, which might be skewing the yield.
The table is interactive, and you can also see tags against each company stock in the list for the following:
Increasing - dividends are increasing over time
Decreasing - Dividends are decreasing over time
Special - Special dividend declared may be skewing yields
Bsin1Y - Bonus/Split was declared in past one year and has been adjusted in the yield
Bsin2Y - Bonus/Split was declared in past two years and has been adjusted in the yield
BSin5Y - Bonus/Split declared in past 5 years and adjusted in the yield.
It is interesting to note that most high dividend stocks have not given very good returns over the past five years. They could be a good defensive/contra choice even as the market edges up towards their lifetime highs.
