If Safaricom's DPS is 10/=, majority would not care about how many shares it has. Same if the DPS was 0.1/=
Ask most people here how many shares Equity, KCB, BAT, Stanchart etc. have. Some are shareholders and they neither know nor care. And those who do probably the original reason was for them to calculate EPS and DPS from scratch (assuming the information was not readily available or they wanted to do their own math!) True. Dividend yield is favored by most, followed closely by EPS True!!! I have also become like @vvs and many more here. I am not a trader. I don't want to have to sell to make money. I love dividend paying shares. That way if the Fundamentals are okay, I don't have to worry so much about price swings (unless I am buying or want to sell). All I need to know is that every year I expect dividends of Kshs. xyz which hopefully keep growing. And one of the most important things as you live your life is cashflow. I love passive cashflow/income. And the day you retire, this will 10 times as important!!!  I&M paid a sweet interim juzi. Always nice to get dividends throughout the year. I remain a trader, for now. But will definitely join @vvs strategy at some point, not now.
