Despite all the theoretical arguments that can be made against companies paying dividends, the fact remains that some shareholders like having capital returned to them. It puts them in the driver's seat in terms of what to do with their distributions -- spend, reinvest into shares, or repurpose elsewhere. Here are five of my current favorite dividend payers...
Corning, Inc (GLW) - Currently yielding just over 2%, this is an example of a company that has combined dividend increases with stock buybacks. CoreCivic, Inc (CXW) - Not without a great deal of controversy, this private-prison real estate investment trust currently yields 6.6%. Getty Realty Corp (GTY) - The second REIT on the list, this gas station/convenience store name also had its share of troubles several years back. Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Inc (CBRL) is a cut above many others. FreightCar America, Inc (RAIL) - Perhaps a bit odd for this list, but this small name is a dividend payer, and one of my favorite stocks.
