We Ranked Jamaica’s Best Dividend Stocks for 2025-2026

Jamaican investors love dividend stocks. But does a high dividend yield actually mean you're making more money? In this episode of the Limitless Podcast, Dr. Matthew Preston and Dr. Thaon Simms compare some of the JSE's best-known dividend stocks. Instead of looking at the dividend alone, they compare it with changes in the share price to see what investors actually earned. TransJamaica is one of the biggest surprises. Its current dividend yield isn't particularly high compared with other stocks on the list, but its share price climbed sharply over the period examined. Guardian Holdings tells a different story. It tops the list for dividend yield, but its share price barely moved over the same period. The discussion also covers Carreras, Fontana, GraceKennedy, Scotia Group, NCB Financial Group and several other JSE stocks. If you're buying stocks for dividends, this episode asks a simple question: What happens to your total return when the share price moves against you? 📊 Highlights & Chapters: 0:00 - 5:59 | 💰 Why investors love dividend stocks 5:59 - 10:33 | 🚀 TransJamaica's 156% capital gain 10:33 - 15:38 | 🏆 The highest dividend yields on the JSE 15:38 - 19:24 | 📉 When capital losses wipe out your dividend 19:24 - 26:14 | 💊 Fontana's 4% dividend vs a falling share price 26:14 - 34:21 | 🌎 GraceKennedy's dividends and 2030 targets 34:21 - 39:30 | 🏦 Scotia's dividend and proposed buyout 39:30 - 47:13 | 💵 What price would make Scotia worth buying? 47:13 - 51:02 | 📈 NCB and the case for watching capital gains 51:02 - 51:59 | 🎯 Dividend yield vs total return 🎧 Listen to more episodes: https://limitlesspodcast.buzzsprout.com 🐥 Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/Limitless_pod 📷 Stay connected on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/limitless_pod/ 💲 Get exclusive insights: https://bit.ly/Limitless-MMJA-Discount 👍 If you enjoyed this episode, please like, subscribe, and share! ❓ When you buy a stock, which matters more to you: the dividend yield or your total return? ⚠️ Disclaimer: The opinions expressed in this podcast are solely those of the hosts and do not constitute financial advice.
