With prices falling so much in the last few weeks, there are a lot more opportunities now as compared to a few months back. One of Warren Buffett's famous quote is "It’s far better to buy a wonderful company at a fair price, than a fair company at a wonderful price" and for simplicity, let's just assume the companies in the STI components are wonderful and evaluate if the prices are fair now. lol.
Anyway, I took some time to compile the dividends declared for FY 2019 for each STI components and make some assumption to see if they would really be a good buy/fit for our portfolio since our goal is to build one with a 5% dividend yield.
We all know that all the businesses/companies have been impacted by COVID-19, the oil price war or whatever other reasons, hence their revenue/profit is bound to decrease as compared to last year....
