Whether it’s through stocks, bonds, ETFs, or other types of securities, all investors love seeing their portfolios score big returns. But for income investors, generating consistent cash flow from each of their liquid investments is their primary focus. While cash flow can come from bond interest or interest from other types of investments, income investors hone in on dividends. A dividend is the distribution of a company’s earnings paid out to shareholders; dividend stocks are often evaluated by their dividend yield, a metric that measures a dividend as a percent of the current stock price.
Headquartered in Deerfield, Caterpillar (NYSE: CAT) is an Industrial Products stock that has seen a price change of -6.4% so far this year. The construction equipment company is paying out a dividend of $1.03 per share at the moment, with a dividend yield of 3.5% compared to the Manufacturing – Construction and Mining industry’s average yield of 1.87% and the S&P 500’s average yield of 1.96%. In terms of dividend growth, the company’s current annualized dividend of $4.12 is up 25.6% from last year.
