Furthermore, companies outside Ibovespa, the main stock exchange index, are disregarded.
The 5 biggest dividend payers on Ibovespa
- Petrobras (PETR4): 25%
- Gerdau Metalúrgica (GOAU4): 19%
- CSN (CSNA3): 18%
- Gerdau (GGBR3): 17%
- Marfrig (MRFG3): 11%
Petrobras continues to lead the ranking of dividend payers
Despite having already had a DY that represents double the current one, the state oil company still remains at the top of the ranking of dividend payers of Ibovespa.
There were R$9.26 paid per share in the last few months, resulting in a yield of 25%, given the current share price of around 37%.
It is worth noting that the company’s common shares – traded under the ticker PETR3 – also have a high DY, at 23%.
Gerdau Metalúrgica
Outside of this list in past quarters, the company shows a yield of almost 20%, resulting from R$2.09 paid per preferred share in the last 12 months.
The company’s shares are currently traded at around R$10, accumulating a drop of around 18% on the stock exchange since the beginning of 2023.
CSN
The company’s shares in the steel industry remain in third place in the ranking, given the R$ 2.92 paid per share in the last 12 months.
Furthermore, the company’s shares appreciated in 2023, with an increase of around 9.4% since the beginning of this year.
Gerdau
The company, which is under the umbrella of Metalúrgica Gerdau – which occupies 2nd position in this ranking, has a dividend yield of 17%, the result of R$ 3.76 paid per share in the last 12 months.
In the case of preferred shares, traded under the ticker GGBR4, the yield is slightly lower, at 16%. This is because the same R$3.76 per share was paid in the last 12 months, but the share price is higher – which reduces the dividend yield.
Marfrig closes ranking of Top 5 dividend payers
The company in the refrigerator segment remains one of the largest dividend payers from the stock market for a long time.
With R$0.90 paid per share in the last 12 months, Marfrig still maintains a double-digit yield.
The shares trade at a stable level in relation to prices at the beginning of the year, with an accumulated drop of just 1.4% in 2023.
