3 Higher Yield Dividend Growth Stocks

Posted by D4L | Thursday, March 30, 2023 | | 0 comments »

It's human nature for new income investors to focus on yield. Many eventually learn that above average yields often carry an above average risk of a dividend cut, loss of invested capital or both. People involved in extreme sports/hobbies, such as base jumping, hang gliding and shark diving, do things to minimize risk and protect themselves. In much the same way those investing in high yield dividend stocks, can do certain things to increase their chance of success.

If you are looking for high yield, the temptation is to use a stock screen to search for yield and apply it to the entire universe of stocks. Yield is easy to find. Add in growth and sustainability, then the list will dramatically shrink. Currently, I track over 150 dividend growth stocks. The list is made up of select Dividend Aristocrats, Achievers, Champions and few other dividend stocks for good measure. Below is a list of the stocks from my database yielding more than 5% and with 45 or more years of consecutive dividend growth...

3 Reasons to Love Walmart's Dividend

Posted by D4L | Wednesday, March 29, 2023 | | 0 comments »

As investors look for ways to combat uncertainty in their portfolio, one idea is to beef it up with dividend income from dividend stocks. Investing in Walmart (WMT -0.85%), an enduring big-box retailer and grocery store that prides itself on low prices, is one way to do this amid a difficult economic backdrop. Highlighting Walmart's resilience, its dividend has been around for decades. Even better, the company has increased this dividend every year for 50 years in a row. As investors look for high-quality dividend stocks to add to their portfolio, here are three reasons why Walmart stock should be a top consideration.

1. Dividend growth -Walmart reminded investors of its strong balance sheet and cash flow late last month when it announced its latest dividend increase. The company said it was increasing its quarterly dividend by 2% to $0.57, or $2.28 annually.2. A low payout ratio. It's also worth noting that Walmart is only paying out about half of its earnings in dividends. Specifically, the grocer has a payout ratio of 52%. A payout ratio this conservative means the company has plenty of room to increase its dividend in the future. 3. A durable business - The best part of Walmart's dividend, however, is the durability of its underlying business. Walmart was founded in 1962 and continues to grow its top line at meaningful rates even today.

Long-term investors can find stability, consistency, and growth with bank stocks. While the more extensive money center bank stocks tend to have smaller dividends, it pays to dig a little deeper into the regional bank segment to find better dividends with more room for capital appreciation and income. Regional banks can have more room for growth and the possibility of acquisition. Remember that falling prices equate to a higher dividend yield. It pays to wait for pullback support levels to test. Here are three bank dividend stocks with outsized dividends to watch for.

New York Community Bancorp Inc. (NYSE: NYCB): This regional bank pays a hefty 7.18% annual dividend yield. They acquired Flagstar Bancorp on Dec. 1, 2022, to become one of the nation’s largest regional banks. The Bank of N.T. Butterfield & Son Ltd. (NYSE: NTB): This Bermuda-based offshore regional bank pays a 4.90% annual dividend yield. Fee-based income comprises 35% of its revenues, and securities are around 40% of its earning assets. Its loans have a heavy concentration of floating-rate debt. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (NYSE: CM): This is one of Canada's largest banks, paying a 5.48% annual dividend yield. Its Q1 2023 earnings results released on Feb. 24, 2023, beat EPS estimates by CC$.022, coming in at CC$1.72.
