Abstract

The different indicators that can be used by individual investors considering stocks are analyzed in the article. The joint stock companies with state participation are studied. The dividend payments practice of seven companies are reviewed. The need for an integrated approach with a primary focus on relative indicators is clearly demonstrated. It is concluded that news of record amounts of dividend payments should not always be taken as a convincing signal for stock investments. Special attention is paid to nuances that should be taken into account to maximize profit.
