The largest dividends for their shareholders are provided by Russian companies whose activities are related to the extraction of oil, gas, and natural minerals. In addition, in recent years, mobile operators, who are constantly interested in raising funds, have become among the leaders in the rating.
Analysts' forecasts on the size of dividends for the leading Russian companies usually turn out to be quite realistic, since the largest profitability is provided by large organizations whose activities are stable and are not subject to serious changes due to negative factors. The most profitable in the Russian Federation are traditionally mining enterprises and holdings, and among them there are not only oil and gas companies, but also organizations engaged in the extraction and processing of natural minerals. Also, high profitability is provided by the acquisition of shares of mobile operators, which are integral parts of large holdings, therefore, they constantly redistribute funds and attract new investors.
Approximate amount of dividends from leading Russian companies
The leader of the profitability rating among Russian companies is Norilsk Nickel, whose shares, in accordance with analytical forecasts, will bring about 11 percent per annum. Also, the shareholders of Surgutneftegaz and Gazprom Neft can count on a consistently high profit, which should bring about nine and seven percent per annum, respectively. Among the leaders in the rating are also mobile operators MTS and VimpelCom, whose shareholders expect to receive a profit of nine and eight and a half percent per annum, respectively. An additional benefit from the acquisition of shares in the latter two companies will be the opportunity to receive interim quarterly dividends, which will expand the shareholders' ability to control their invested funds.
How to identify Russian companies with high dividends?
Interested shareholders can identify those Russian companies that will bring the greatest dividends according to a number of criteria. These indicators include decisions made by their governing bodies, parent companies, founders and owners. In addition, one should take into account the current amount of the company's debt, the history of dividend payments, and the dividend policy of the management. Thus, among the leaders of the rating is E. ON Russia, which is a subsidiary of the German company E. ON. The expected return on shareholders of this subsidiary will be 7.5 percent per annum, and the actual achievement of such a result is ensured by the decision of the parent company, which ordered all profits to be used to pay dividends.
