This reflects challenges like thin balance sheets, unproven business models, and competition from larger rivals. It also reflects the volatility that small-cap shares often experience. What they’re less famous for, however, is the presence of high dividend yields. This simply reflects the fact that younger companies tend to prioritise any spare capital they have to investing for growth rather than paying shareholders cash rewards. However, the following penny shares are the exception, offering an attractive blend of value and dividends. And today their dividend yields sail…
