Dividend yield for traders: There is more to it than meets the eye, especially in volatile times. 9 stocks to look at

Let's start with an example to set the context. Between 2019 and 2025, Infosys went through every mood the market could conjure: Covid crash, tech booms, interest-rate swings, rupee volatility, and now the threat of AI. All this is on the fundamental side, and one could have taken a call whether to buy or sell the stock based on the fundamentals alone. There is, however, another side of the story: During this period, Infosys’ dividend payout kept rising steadily: From ₹21.5 in FY19 to ₹43 in FY25. For traders (who don't usually look at dividend payouts), there is a way to use this information to increase the probability of getting a trade, especially on the long side, right. Please note: Infosys is not in our list today.
