Most Popular Dividend Stocks

Most Popular Dividend Stocks in the Philippines are shares traded on the Philippine Stock Exchange (PSE) that attract investors seeking steady income through dividends. These stocks often come from resilient sectors like mining, telecom, utilities, conglomerates, and REITs, helping everyday Filipinos build wealth with passive income amid economic challenges.

Overview

Dividend stocks pay a portion of profits to shareholders, typically quarterly or annually. In the Philippines, they appeal to beginners due to high yields (often 5-15%) compared to bank savings. Popular ones have consistent histories, low volatility, and growth potential. Factors like company earnings, sector stability, and regulations influence payouts. REITs are favored for mandatory 90% distribution of earnings.

Below is a table of selected popular dividend stocks based on yield, consistency, and investor interest as of late 2025. Yields fluctuate with stock prices; consult PSE for latest data.
