18% Dividend Growth From A Popular Investment Firm
We all deal with investment companies. Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to buy and hold any of our stocks! However, despite working with investment firms continually, many investors don’t actually invest in these firms themselves. And it’s a mistake. Charles Schwab Corporation (ticker: SCHW) is one of the largest investment companies around. It manages almost […]
High Dividend Yield (5%+) With High Growth (9%+)
Most dividend stocks have a trade-off between yield and growth. Companies with high dividend yields generally don’t grow their dividends a lot. It makes sense why. Those companies are paying out a lot of their earnings in dividends rather than reinvesting to grow the business. It isn’t a bad thing, just different. On the flip […]
A Utility With Rare 6% Dividend Growth
Utility stocks are great for dividend investors. They’re very stable relative to the rest of the stock market. Plus, they pay very high dividend yields. However, utility stocks aren’t known for their dividend growth. But there are exceptions. Alliant Energy (ticker: LNT) is an electric and natural gas utility in the Midwest. Alliant isn’t particularly […]
A New Dividend King Is Crowned
I’ve talked about Dividend Kings in the past. Dividend Kings are stocks with at least 50 straight years of dividend growth. Well, there’s a new Dividend King, and I’ve never heard of it before. Pentair PLC (ticker: PNR) is a water treatment supply company headquartered in the United Kingdom. But don’t worry, almost 70% of […]
Shopping Around Gives You A 5% Dividend Yield
Welcome to 2026, everyone! The holidays are over. Like many of you, I’m glad I don’t have to shop for more presents. But I never tire of shopping for new dividend stocks. The following company is in real estate. In particular, it owns open-air shopping centers around the United States. Sorry, I know you’re tired […]
Start 2026 With An Enormous Dividend
Special dividends are great for dividend investors. The dividend amounts are really high. For some reason, many investors overlook special dividends. One company isn’t messing around in 2026. Its special dividend accounts for over 95% of its dividend payments. Its next special dividend is almost 3x as high as the special dividend it paid in […]
A Century’s Worth Of Dividends
I wasn’t sure what I was going to talk about during the shortened trading week. Most people are on vacation, spending time with their families over the holidays. So I was more than a little surprised when I found a company raising its dividend payment at the end of the year. And I was downright […]
Thirty Years Of Double-Digit Dividend Growth
Dividend Aristocrats are companies with more than 25 years of consecutive dividend growth. It’s a great benchmark to determine how long a company has raised its dividends. 25+ years of dividend growth isn’t required, but it helps me sleep better at night knowing how committed a company is to increasing dividend payments. In the last […]
Beaten-Down REIT Raises Its Dividend 12%
I’ve been keeping a very close eye on a struggling REIT. How bad did it get? At one point, its stock price was down over 80% from its highs in 2022! And its dividend wasn’t too far behind. The REIT used to pay $0.29 every quarter in dividends. But in 2023, it dropped the payment […]
Top Tech Stocks For Dividends
Technology companies are not known for paying dividends. Their decision not to pay dividends makes a lot of sense. Dividends are cash paid to investors from the company’s cash flow. And many people want their tech stocks to keep the cash to grow the business (and stock price). But dividends are becoming more and more […]
