A pessimistic view held by many is that dividends are paid only by those corporations who could not find beneficial capital budgeting projects which would increase the value of the firm. As a result these companies would provide cash distributions to their shareholders rather than invest back into themselves. Contrary to this minority view, high growth technology companies have began to implement a dividend policy. With billions of cash on their balance sheet, companies like Cisco (Nasdaq:CSCO) are able to accomplish both - company growth and dividend payouts.
However, while tech companies offer an attractive investment alternative for income seeking investors, many high-quality dividend-paying Canadian stocks unfortunately could slide under the radar. While energy trusts, such as Penn West Energy Trusts (NYSE:PWE) and Enerplus Resource Fund (NYSE:ERF), among others, are the best known Canadian entities to pay high yields, other alternatives exist as well.
