How We’ll Beat the Passive Crowd - I’m not saying these two holdings will take down DGRO—not even close. But I am saying that with a bit of research, we can kick out pricey dividend laggards like MSFT and XOM and position ourselves for bigger gains and more income than folks who simply buy a dividend-growth ETF and call it a day. Here are two off-the-radar buys I’ve turned up the “old-fashioned” way, zeroing in on bargain valuations, safe payout ratios, rising earnings and sterling dividend-growth histories...
Hotel operator Wyndham Worldwide Corporation (NYSE:WYN) sports a dividend yield of just 2.2%, a number that’s ranged from 1.4% to 3.0% in the last five years. I pounded the table on First American Financial Corp (NYSE:FAF) on January 9 (it’s up 11.3% since then vs. 5.0% for the S&P 500) and February 17 (FAF: 7.2%; S&P 500: 1.6%). Don’t tap the brakes now, because there’s still value here, and the stage is set for a big dividend hike in August to give the title insurer’s stock an extra kick. How do I know? Because FAF last announced a payout hike in August 2016, and it was the company’s biggest since 2014.
