Should you buy the Gillette stock for bagging a good dividend of Rs. 36/ share?

To be eligible for the dividend, you should be holding the shares of the scrip as on record date after which the stock turns ex-dividend that is the shareholders who buy the share on the ex-dividend date or post that will not be eligible for the declared dividend. Now as the ex-date for Gillette is still far away, you can give a thought for the same.

Note even though company has been consistently paying dividend, future dividends are not guaranteed as dividends are announced at the discretion of the firm and there remains no contractual obligation to declare/pay the same. So, for similar future stream of payment you surely cannot take position into the stock.

Also, companies paying out good dividends may be doing so, being mature players in their respective industries', with limited options to park cash. Hence investor should not solely invest in a stock for good dividend or dividend yield, but look at these in conjunction with other metrics such as Return on Equity (ROE) and Return on Capital Employed (ROCE).
