Many investors favor dividend-paying stocks for the recurring streams of income they provide, a benefit that is magnified when those companies pay shareholders on a monthly basis. Yet these stocks may also come with heightened risks, including a sensitivity to interest rate fluctuations, significant financial leverage, and the risk that a too-generous dividend might not be sustainable. Those are all factors investors must keep in the forefront as they choose their dividend stocks. But the three below should allow investors to meet their needs on all fronts.
Gladstone Capital (NASDAQ:GLAD) cut its monthly payout earlier this year as the coronavirus upended the economy, reducing the dividend from $0.07 per share to $0.065 per share -- a 7% shave, and a level where it remains today. While no one likes to see payments reduced, it was a prudent move. LTC Properties (NYSE:LTC) is a real estate investment trust (REIT) that invests in skilled nursing facilities and senior housing properties, and it's poised to capitalize on strong economic tailwinds. Another REIT to consider, STAG Industrial (NYSE:STAG) provides a level of comfort for income investors they might not find in REITs that concentrate on the residential housing market, or even the retail sector. Instead, STAG focuses on single-tenant light industrial buildings.
