A Higher Dividend Every Quarter
Companies work hard to attract new investors… And dividend stocks play the same game. Some dividend stocks pay every month. Other dividend stocks have really high yields. Others are growing their dividends quickly, targeting investors looking for more cash in the future. But one dividend stock is doing something a little different. One company is […]
This 8% Yielder Could Be Worth Nearly Double
Rithm Capital (RITM), formerly New Residential Investments, has been in my Dividend Hunter portfolio since August 2014—eleven years now. A decade ago, the company was a straightforward finance real estate investment trust (REIT) with a unique portfolio of mortgage servicing rights (MSRs). Over the last six years, the company has evolved into a diversified alternative […]
This Dividend Is Exploding… In A Good Way!
Dividend growth is great. It ensures the cash we get in our bank account covers our expenses. And, it’s getting expensive out there! I love companies with consistent dividend growth. I don’t need a lot, but if a stock grows its dividend by the same amount every year, then I’m a happy camper. There’s only […]
5 New Dividends In 2025 (Including An 8.8% Yielder)
Brand new dividends are often the best divvies to buy. Here why. Companies typically initiate a new payout when they are serious about it. This means not only is management going to make sure the dividend is adequately funded, but they are also likely to raise it in a year. Perennial raises command our attention because these growing payouts […]
The Secret REIT With 36 Years Of Dividend Growth
One company is flying way under the radar. Honestly, I think the radar might be broken. The company is a REIT (Real Estate Investment Trust). REITs own tons of real estate and make money by collecting rents from the people and businesses using their properties. REITs have always been popular dividend stocks, because they have […]
This Big Dividend Soared 120% (But It’s Still Cheap)
I know I don’t have to tell you this market is “pricey”—levitating from all-time high to all-time high. That’s got a lot of investors stuck on the sidelines, too afraid to buy until we get another dip. That’s too bad for them, because sitting on your hands right now is a mistake. Here’s the truth: […]
This Fintech Was Just Added To The S&P 500 And Shares Are Soaring
Block (NYSE:XYZ), the financial technology (fintech) firm, reached a key step in its development this week as it will be added to the S&P 500. Block announced last Friday that it will officially join the S&P 500 on Wednesday, July 23, replacing Hess, the oil and gas company that was recently acquired by Chevron (NYSE:CVX). “It’s […]
Amazing Week For Dividend Growth
If you like dividend growth, then the upcoming week should be treated as a holiday. FOUR great companies are increasing their dividends over the next few days. And all of them have payout ratios below 50%. Wow! First up is Lowe’s Companies (ticker: LOW), the second-largest home improvement retailer in the United States. Lowe’s has […]
The Last Cheap Dividend Stocks Yield Up To 9.7%
The last bargains on the big board? Discounted closed-end funds (CEFs). CEFs are often the “last stop” for dividend deals. We are talking about an inefficient corner of the income universe, which is just great for us contrarians—we love the discounts. And these funds can trade for less than “fair value” for months and even years on end. When […]
Huge Dividends EVERY MONTH, An 11% Yield
One of my favorite dividend resources is Dividend.com. Its screening tool is great for finding new, interesting dividend stocks. But you need to be careful. Sometimes the data is accurate… but, sometimes, the data doesn’t make a lot of sense. For instance, a popular dividend stock showed a 66% cut in its dividend. I don’t […]
