Iggy's Journal: The Share Price Fell. Did Your Dividend? Three Questions Before You Read Anything Into the Red
Tue 10 Nov 2026 | Afternoon
The Numbers
In the made-up example I use, a payout of S$0.20 at a S$4.00 price is a 5.00% yield. At a S$3.20 price the same S$0.20 payment becomes a 6.25% yield. The company changed nothing, and only the price moved. Every number in the episode is made up.
My Personal Take
A red price on a screen makes the yield look better without the dividend changing at all, and I think that is easy to read as better income. That leaves me with two questions. When a price falls, what do I check first to see whether the declared payout changed? And if the payout did not change, what else would tell me whether it can last? I am not putting a view on any real company in this entry. The video and the Substack piece go through the three questions, and both are free.
