Which companies are attractive this year

Frankfurt Despite the great uncertainty about the consequences of inflation, a turnaround in interest rates, the pandemic and the ongoing raging war in Ukraine: 2022 should be a decent dividend year for shareholders. This is the result of a study by the British fund house Janus Henderson among the 1200 largest stock exchange companies, which is available to the Handelsblatt. Oil producers and other commodity groups are particularly generous.

After the distributions in the first quarter of the year, the stock experts are now anticipating a slight year-on-year increase for the year as a whole. Fund investors expect companies to pay $1.54 trillion in dividends worldwide, an increase of 4.6 percent. At the beginning of the year, they had assumed a good three percent plus.
