Altria: Return Of The Dividend King
- Altria has substantially outperformed both the broader SP500 index and the staple sector since my recent writings. I expect this dividend king to keep delivering market-beating returns in the next 3~5 years. Altria's latest EPS guidance and dividend growth are stronger than they appear, reflecting robust fundamentals and a capital-light, high-ROCE business model.

- The Dividend Kings list now includes 56 stocks, but only a select few offer fair value and strong yields relative to share price.

Top 5 S&P 500 Dividend Leaders Offer High Yields Across Five Key Sectors
- Dividend stocks have long been a favorite for investors seeking both income and long-term growth. By combining regular cash payouts with potential stock appreciation, dividend-paying companies provide a reliable way to generate passive income while building wealth. Historically, dividends have played a critical role in overall returns, accounting for nearly one-third of the S&P 500’s total gains since 1926. With interest rates expected to decline later this year, high-yield dividend stocks are becoming even more attractive to investors. The appeal of these stocks lies in their ability to deliver steady income streams while helping offset rising costs for housing, insurance, and other expenses. In addition, dependable dividend payments allow investors to reinvest or allocate money toward retirement savings, making them a powerful tool for financial stability. High-quality blue-chip companies that consistently pay dividends are especially valuable, as they offer both security and long-term upside. This article highlights five standout S&P 500 companies with strong dividends: Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Altria, Pfizer, UPS, and Verizon. Each operates in a different sector—real estate, consumer goods, healthcare, logistics, and telecommunications—yet all share a commitment to rewarding shareholders with reliable payouts. Together, they showcase the breadth of opportunities for investors seeking to balance income, growth, and stability in their portfolios. Intro Dividend stocks combine reliable income with long-term growth. Dividends have historically contributed about one-third of S&P 500 total returns. Falling interest rates make high-yield stocks especially appealing in 2025. Alexandria Real Estate Equities Alexandria develops life science and technology campuses in top U.S. innovation hubs. Its tenants include pharmaceutical firms, biotech companies, and research institutions. The company offers a strong yield and trades at a reasonable valuation. Altria Altria is one of the world’s largest tobacco producers with brands like Marlboro. It also markets cigars, smokeless tobacco, and e-vapor products under multiple labels. The company maintains a high dividend and is executing share buybacks. Pfizer Pfizer is a leading pharmaceutical company founded in 1849 with a global reach. It produces medicines, vaccines, and treatments across many therapeutic areas. The stock offers a dependable dividend that has increased for 14 straight years. UPS UPS is a global logistics leader serving over 200 countries and territories. It is reducing its reliance on Amazon to focus on more profitable business segments. Investors value its strong dividend alongside its vast shipping network. Verizon Verizon provides communications and wireless services to consumers and businesses. It operates both consumer and business divisions, including Verizon Fios broadband. The company trades at a low earnings multiple and offers a reliable dividend. Conclusion High-yield dividend stocks provide steady income and long-term wealth growth. These five S&P 500 companies combine reliability, blue-chip strength, and sector diversity. Investors can buy and hold them to build stable portfolios for the future. The post Top 5 S&P 500 Dividend Leaders Offer High Yields Across Five Key Sectors appeared first on 24/7 Wall St..

The 5%+ Dividend Stocks I Love Today
- Key Points Altria (NYSE: MO) and Bristol Myers Squibb (NYSE: BMY) are highlighted as strong dividend plays yielding over 7% and 5% respectively, offering income stability even amid moderate price underperformance. Telecom giants AT&T (NYSE: T) and Verizon (NYSE: VZ) are regaining favor as pure-play wireless providers with attractive yields near 6%, especially as both exit non-core ventures. Douglas and Lee emphasize trimming positions after strong runs and reinvesting selectively, noting that blue-chip dividend stocks currently outperforming the S&P 500 may revert to historical norms.

You know, the boards have their share buybacks, whatever they’re going to do to help shareholders with things that are not directly related to their businesses. As you know, I’ve got a couple of high dividend companies. [00:00:24] Douglas: Altria is first on my list. People don’t like to own tobacco stocks. A lot of people, because tobacco kills, you know, millions of people every year around the world. [00:00:35] Lee Jackson: Yeah, it does. [00:00:36] Douglas: don’t if you can overlook that and maybe you can’t. I think they’re at 7%. What else do you like that’s yield, solid balance sheet, maybe [00:00:46] Lee Jackson: Yeah. And yeah, it’s a really good question, Doug, because a lot of our readers and viewers are, and we write about this constantly, are looking for solid passive income ideas, you know, which, which, which are investments where you really don’t have to do anything other than own it. You know, whether, whether it’s stocks, bonds, real estate, you know, commodities, whatever. [00:01:11] Douglas: But [00:01:12] Lee Jackson: I think you’re right. I think, I think Altria is one of the best. It’s had a huge year. It’s up like 30% or more in the last year. [00:01:20] Lee Jackson: Is it more [00:01:21] Douglas: stock underperforms the market [00:01:23] Lee Jackson: Yeah. Another name that we really like a lot is Bristol Myers. I mean, this is a quality large cap, blue chip pharmaceutical with a ton of, of products that sell, you know, whether it’s certain treatments or other, you know, Pharmaceuticals, but Bristol Myers yields over 5%, and that’s a dividend that is not going away. You know, so I think Bristol Myers and I, and I think, you know, some people say, well, what about Pfizer (NYSE: PFE)? You know, Pfizer yields over 7%, but Pfizer’s problem is they had two years of, of huge earnings because of, you know, COVID vaccinations and, and all that. [00:02:06] Lee Jackson: And now, there’s just been so much negative. Publicity on the vaccinations that, you know, that’s fallen off. So, and they haven’t been able to replace that huge upside. So of the two, I think Bristol Myers is, is a better play. And I think also if you look at utilities, which while they’ve had a big, big run, look at Dominion (NYSE: D), I mean Dominion is in a big. [00:02:31] Lee Jackson: Fast growing part of the country. They serve the customers in North Carolina and in that region down through there, they pay, almost a 5% dividend. And, you know, people gotta have electricity. That’s, that’s never going away. So I think that’s another solid idea. [00:02:47] Douglas: I’ll tell you ones I like, be because. I like At&T and Verizon. Some people don’t like ’em, but you know, at and t got into a lot of weird businesses. Verizon owned Yahoo. pretty much flushed all that stuff out, and I like ’em now because they’re really pure plays. I understand that they’ve got some landlines, they’ve got some business to business. [00:03:10] Douglas: But listen, they’re, they’re cell phone subscription businesses. Are they ever gonna grow a lot in the United States? No. Do they fight for market share? Sure. They’ve [00:03:21] Lee Jackson: Yep. [00:03:21] Douglas: but nobody gains more than, you know, a point, a percentage. market ca share here, [00:03:27] Lee Jackson: Yeah, absolutely. [00:03:28] Douglas: I like ’em because those are businesses that are now just stable. There’s, not a lot good gonna happen to ’em. Not a lot of bad happen to ’em. You know, you can, depending on the stock price, be in there around 4% or something like that, but they’re [00:03:42] Lee Jackson: Well, for, for Verizon, you’re gonna get close to a 6% yield. So of the two, if you’re, if you’re strictly looking for a higher passive income, maybe Verizon ’cause, simply because telephones had a huge run. I mean, this time last year it was what, 18, $19 maybe? 20 yielding. 5%. Now it’s gone up into the high twenties and it yields a a little bit under four. [00:04:05] Lee Jackson: But either way, whatever one you feel comfortable with you, you certainly won’t be taking any big hits.

Inherited $400,000? Here’s the Smartest Way to Turn It Into Monthly Passive Income
- Key Points The SPHD and DIVO ETFs are ideal vehicles for volatility mitigation and reliable income. Furthermore, you can enhance your monthly income potential with single-stock ETFs. Are you ahead, or behind on retirement? SmartAsset’s free tool can match you with a financial advisor in minutes to help you answer that today. Each advisor has been carefully vetted, and must act in your best interests. Don’t waste another minute; get started by clicking here.(Sponsor) If you’re fortunate enough to inherit $400,000, it may be tempting to spend that money on cars and vacations. However, the smart-money move is to invest the funds wisely and plan for your financial future. One approach is to invest that $400,000 in exchange traded funds (ETFs) that provide passive income every month. That way, you can reinvest the cash distributions and take advantage of the compounding effect. So now, it’s time to reveal four funds that unlock monthly income opportunities so you can turn your inheritance into a cash-producing machine. SPHD: A Reliable Pick for Low Volatility $400,000 is a whole lot of money to inherit and invest. Therefore, your first priority shouldn’t be maximizing your monthly dividends. Instead, it should be mitigating your risk so you don’t lose all of that money. When safety and reliability are your top priorities, the Invesco S&P 500 High Dividend Low Volatility ETF (NYSEARCA:SPHD) is a solid pick. This fund has 52 stocks in its holdings, all carefully selected from the S&P 500 large-cap stock index. The SPHD ETF specifically chooses stocks “that historically have provided high dividend yields and low volatility.” Examples include Pfizer (NYSE:PFE), Realty Income Corp. (NYSE:O), Verizon Communications (NYSE:VZ), and Altria Group (NYSE:MO). These companies are known for providing consistent dividend payments, and their stocks typically aren’t volatile. Furthermore, the Invesco S&P 500 High Dividend Low Volatility ETF features a 12-month distribution rate (i.e., a forward annual dividend yield) of 3.44%. Plus, the SPHD ETF pays out its distributions on a monthly basis. With all of that in mind, you could take $150,000 of your inherited $400,000, put it into the Invesco S&P 500 High Dividend Low Volatility ETF, and sleep soundly at night. Stay in the Safe Lane With DIVO With $400,000 to invest, you’ll have a large account and there’s no need to drive in the fast lane. Instead, you can stay in the “safe lane” but still get a passive income stream with the Amplify CWP Enhanced Dividend Income ETF (NYSEARCA:DIVO). Much like the SPHD ETF, the Amplify CWP Enhanced Dividend Income ETF seeks to reduce share-price volatility while providing exposure to high-quality dividend-paying companies. Moreover, like the other funds mentioned today, DIVO puts cash distributions into your account on a monthly basis. The Amplify CWP Enhanced Dividend Income ETF has 24 stocks in its holdings, and you’ll see plenty of large-cap sector leaders in there. Among the top holdings in the DIVO ETF are Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), RTX/Raytheon Technologies (NYSE:RTX), Caterpillar (NYSE:CAT), Visa (NYSE:V), and Home Depot (NYSE:HD). Again, we’re choosing safety first and then aiming for good yield. Since the Amplify CWP Enhanced Dividend Income ETF invests in great companies and features an impressive 4.73% annual distribution rate, it checks all the right boxes. Thus, it would make sense to allocate $150,000 of a $400,000 inheritance toward the DIVO ETF. Accelerate Your Yield With Single-Stock ETFs It’s wise to dedicate $300,000 of your $400,000 inheritance toward diversified low-volatility funds like SPHD and DIVO. If you do that, then you can invest the remaining $100,000 in ETFs with greater risk but also higher yields. To that end, YieldMax offers a wide variety of ETFs that each focus on a single stock instead of a diversified basket of stocks. Typically, these YieldMax ETFs derive monthly income from U.S. Treasury bonds and sophisticated options-trading strategies. One way to reduce the risk is to stick to YieldMax ETFs that focus on established large-cap companies. For example, the YieldMax AAPL Option Income Strategy ETF (NYSEARCA:APLY) indirectly derives income from Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) stock. Currently, the APLY ETF advertises an annual distribution rate of 26.99%. This fund shouldn’t be excessively risky as Apple is a reliable blue-chip business with staying power. So, you could invest $25,000 of your $400,000 inheritance in the YieldMax AAPL Option Income Strategy ETF. A reasonable plan would be to pick four single-stock ETFs with a focus on high-confidence companies. Then, you could allocate $25,000 toward each of the four funds you picked. A Mixed-Risk Approach APLY is just one example of many monthly-paying single-stock ETFs you can choose from. Here’s a summary of other funds in this category, and while you explore them, you might think about picking your four favorites: The YieldMax AMZN Option Income Strategy ETF (NYSEARCA:AMZY); based on Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) stock; 47.82% annual distribution rate The YieldMax NVDA Option Income Strategy ETF (NYSEARCA:NVDY); based on NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) stock; 74.99% annual distribution rate The YieldMax GOOGL Option Income Strategy ETF (NYSEARCA:GOOY); based on the stock of Google parent company Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOGL); 32.9% annual distribution rate The YieldMax MSFT Option Income Strategy ETF (NYSEARCA:MSFO); based on Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) stock; 34.9% annual distribution rate The YieldMax JPM Option Income Strategy ETF (NYSEARCA:JPMO); based on JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) stock; 39% annual distribution rate The YieldMax AMD Option Income Strategy ETF (NYSEARCA:AMDY); based on Advanced Micro Devices (NASDAQ:AMD) stock; 68.07% annual distribution rate The YieldMax DIS Option Income Strategy ETF (NYSEARCA:DISO); based on Walt Disney (NYSE:DIS) stock; 38.55% annual distribution rate The YieldMax XOM Option Income Strategy ETF (NYSEARCA:XOMO); based on Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) stock; 38.04% annual distribution rate Just to provide an idea of what your overall plan might look like, you could invest $150,000 in SPHD, $150,000 in DIVO, and $25,000 each in APLY, MSFO, DISO, and XOMO. All in all, you can mix low-risk ETFs with a handful of higher-risk ETFs to turn your inherited $400,000 into a fairly reliable monthly income-producing machine.The post Inherited $400,000?

Here Are 3 ETFs Warren Buffett Would Approve Of for the Average Investor
- Key Points Warren Buffett is a long-term investor by nature, and only invests in those business models that are simple to understand. He is not one of those investors who keeps his strategy private; Buffett has been transparent along his investment journey. We’ve identified a trio of ETFs that fit his strategy and therefore would likely receive Buffett’s stamp of approval for the average investor in July. Are you ahead, or behind on retirement? SmartAsset’s free tool can match you with a financial advisor in minutes to help you answer that today. Each advisor has been carefully vetted, and must act in your best interests. Don’t waste another minute; get started by clicking here.(Sponsor) Everybody wants to invest like Warren Buffett, and rightfully so. The Omaha of Nebraska has amassed a fortune of $145.3 billion as of mid-2025 since making his first investment at the ripe age of 11. Now that he’s 94 years old, Buffett has become better with age, making him one of the most successful investors who ever lived. Fortunately, Buffett has shared investment nuggets along the way from which investors can glean to build their own winning strategies, formulas that fit both their risk tolerance, financial goals and budget. While Buffett is known for investing in individual stocks, those whose business models are simple enough to understand, he is ultimately an investor who is in it for the long haul. Similarly, ETFs are designed to let investors ride the market wave without having to make frequent changes if they don’t want to. That is why we believe we’ve identified three ETFs that Buffett himself would approve of for the average investor in July. iShares U.S. Financials ETF (IYF) Considering Warren Buffett’s inaugural investment was famously in a bank—Cities Service preferred shares—and financial institutions remain a lighthouse for his investment decisions, it makes sense to begin our exploration here. Our first pick: the iShares U.S. Financials ETF (IYF). And with Buffett’s own Berkshire Hathaway counted among this ETF’s top holdings, it would likely appeal to the Oracle of Omaha. In addition to banks, IYF targets exposure to the insurance sector, playing into the hands of Buffett’s affinity for insurance, which he has called the “engine” that has powered Berkshire Hathaway’s performance for decades. The IYF ETF boasts a lineup of colossal financial institutions like JPMorgan (NYSE: JPM), Bank of America (NYSE: BAC) and Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC), offering investors access to stable banks renowned for their robust balance sheets. These titans of finance have a demonstrated history of navigating—and profiting through—evolving market cycles. This resilience can significantly benefit investors, especially when these institutions commit to enhancing shareholder value through activities like stock buybacks. Even in economic climates with elevated interest rates, banks often find an advantage, benefiting from higher loan rates for borrowers while simultaneously attracting savers with compelling yields. Investors have also been betting on the likelihood of lower interest rates, a phenomenon that could take hold as soon as July at the next Fed meeting. This optimism has benefited the iShares U.S. Financials ETF, sending the fund to revisit its 52-week high level of approximately $123 recently, offering investors an opportunity to potentially ride this wave in July. As of early July, the IYF ETF has delivered returns of 10.8%, nearly doubling the S&P 500’s returns of 6.75% over the same stretch. Over the past year, this financials ETF boasts a total return of 19.5%, in line with its benchmark index, the Russell 1000 Financials 40 Act 15/22.5 Daily Capped Index (USD). With an expense ratio of 0.39%, investors won’t have to worry about having to overpay: If you invest $10,000 in IYF, you would pay approximately $39 in fees per year. Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) Next up is the Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD). Not only does this ETF deliver consistent income, but one of its core components is yet another Warren Buffett favorite: Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO). The iconic beverage giant commands a 4.3% slice of the SCHD ETF, and remarkably, represents a whopping 9.7% of Berkshire Hathaway’s total portfolio. Within the SCHD ETF, Coca-Cola is joined by fellow dividend stalwarts like Verizon Communications (NYSE: VZ), Altria Group (NYSE: MO) and Lockheed Martin (NYSE: LMT). These companies have built reputations for consistently returning value to shareholders through robust dividends, making them almost a guaranteed fit for Buffett’s investing playbook. Their predictable cash flows and essential products underpin a long history of rewarding shareholders, a characteristic central to Buffett’s philosophy. While Buffett’s company, Berkshire Hathaway, isn’t a dividend-paying stock itself, that certainly doesn’t mean he discounts their power. Buffett has openly championed dividend-paying stocks as a shrewd strategy for investors on the hunt for steady income. Perhaps the most convincing evidence lies in Berkshire Hathaway’s top holding—Coca-Cola—a stock that diligently pays a dividend, which Buffett has no intentions of selling anytime soon. Its global brand power and consistent profitability make it a perpetual cash cow for Berkshire’s coffers. In early 2025, Coca-Cola announced its 63rd straight annual dividend hike, lifting its quarterly payout by 5.2% to $0.51 per share. Considering Buffett owns approximately 400 million shares of Coca-Cola stock, his company is effectively raking in over $800 million each year in dividend checks. Coca-Cola stock is also up 14.5% year-to-date, offering investors the added bonus of capital appreciation alongside their income. As for the broader Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF, it meticulously tracks the total return of the Dow Jones U.S. Dividend 100 Index. With an incredibly modest expense ratio of just 0.060%, the SCHD ETF boasts over 100 holdings, granting shareholders a strong degree of diversification for protection. The fund’s underlying strategy prioritizes quality over quantity, avoiding risky high-yielding dividend stocks. Instead, it favors companies with long, proven track records of reliable payouts, offering investors a more reliable income stream and reduced volatility. This disciplined approach means even when the fund’s overall value experiences a dip, as it appears to have done in this wild 2025, investors still receive the benefit of earning consistent income through dividend distributions—which, Buffett seems to agree, is the ultimate icing on the cake for dividend stock investors anyway. Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) The Invesco QQQ Trust (QQQ) is a popular ETF known for its exposure to some high-flying technology stocks, including Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL) and Amazon (Nasdaq: AMZN). In fact, most of its top-10 holdings are technology stocks, with the exception of Costco Wholesale (Nasdaq: COST). While Warren Buffett isn’t known for his technology prowess, favoring instead businesses with more simple models, he has warmed up to the technology sector in recent years. Today, Apple and Amazon comprise 21.7% and 0.8% of Berkshire Hathaway’s portfolio, respectively. Apple is one of only a handful of Buffett’s technology stocks, which he began adding nearly a decade ago. The billionaire investor dove in head first with a $1 billion investment, making the iPhone maker one of the top holdings of Berkshire’s portfolio. Today Apple remains a key holding, with Berkshire’s investment worth over $64 billion. Buffett also bemoaned his hesitancy to add Amazon stock sooner than he did, kicking himself for for being “too dumb.” But he won’t make that mistake twice, and his AMZN holdings are now worth $2.2 billion in the Berkshire portfolio. Given their high-growth nature, the companies that make up the QQQ ETF are heavy capex spenders. While this strategy comes with an inherent amount of risk, which is the first group to be punished in challenging economic environments, the payoff can be equally as rewarding. And when it comes to capital appreciation, QQQ doesn’t disappoint. The QQQ ETF has delivered impressive long-term returns, outshining the S&P 500 in seven out of the past 10 years. Investors who directed $10,000 invested in Invesco QQQ in 2020 would have seen their investment balloon to approximately $22,976 today. So far in 2025, QQQ posted a strong year-to-date gain of approximately 8%; at this pace, it will replicate last year’s returns of approximately 16%. Investors also receive a rather efficient expense ratio of just 0.20%, making it a cost-effective investment vehicle for access to Big Tech stocks, among other sector leaders. Investors with an appetite for risk and growth might find the QQQ appealing while also seizing the opportunity to hold a couple of Warren Buffett favorites.The post Here Are 3 ETFs Warren Buffett Would Approve Of for the Average Investor appeared first on 24/7 Wall St..

2 Schwab ETFs for Steady Retirement Income
- This post may contain links from our sponsors and affiliates, and Flywheel Publishing may receive compensation for actions taken through them. As the tail end of the Baby Boomer generation reaches the qualifying full retirement age, a considerable number of those entering or already enjoying retirement need to find a balance in their time management. Specifically, they need to find equilibrium between the time they devote to managing their retirement portfolios and the time they spend on travel, hobbies and other opportunities that were hindered by employment responsibilities. For those seeking to devote a minimum amount of work to the former while simultaneously being able to enjoy the latter (without undue daily financial worries), two Charles Schwab’s exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have proven to be a popular solution since the 1990s. For thousands of retirees who want to combine a growth component with mitigated volatility, diversification and income, the Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF (NYSEARCA:SCHD) has become a popular choice. Taking the diversification aspect one step further, there are dozens of financial investment opportunities every day taking place around the globe that often go totally unnoticed and unreported in financial media. For those investors seeking international exposure for their portfolios with a comparable degree of growth, income, diversification and risk containment, the Schwab International Dividend Equity ETF (NYSEARCA:SCHY) may appeal to them. Key Points in This Article: These two dividend-focused Schwab ETFs can provide a reliable stream of retirement income. While both provided strong yield, SCHD and SCHY are also focused on dividend growth. Are you ahead, or behind on retirement? SmartAsset’s free tool can match you with a financial advisor in minutes to help you answer that today. Each advisor has been carefully vetted, and must act in your best interests. Don’t waste another minute; get started by clicking here. (Sponsor) Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF Among retirees, the Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF (NYSE: SCHD) is an ETF that meets the growth, income and stability requirements of many portfolios that are providing living expense funds for those in their golden years. Designed to track the Dow Jones US Dividend 100 Index, stocks under consideration for inclusion in SCHD must meet the following criteria: Minimum of 10 consecutive years of dividend payments Floating market capitalization minimum of $500 minimum Minimum average daily trading volume of $2 million Schwab deploys a four-step calculation that determines ranking, which may differ from that of the Dow Jones US Dividend 100 Index: Cash flow-to-total dDebt ratio Return on equity Dividend yield Five-year dividend growth rate The top 100 scoring companies are included in the index. If two companies have the same score, the one with the larger dividend gets the higher ranking. At the time of this writing, other SCHD details include: Dividend Yield 3.97% Dividend Payment Frequency Quarterly Dividend Growth (trailing) 16.69% Dividend Payout Ratio 56.99% Total Assets $68.16 billion Daily Trade Volume Average 18.26 million shares Inception Date 10-20-2011 Expense Ratio 0.06% 1-year trailing return 3.92% 3-year trailing return 3.77% 5-year trailing return 12.23% 10-year trailing return 10.58% The top five weighted holdings in SCHD exemplify how the ETF provides investors with exposure to numerous sectors: Coca-Cola: 4.35% Verizon Communications: 4.34% Altria Group: 4.30% Lockheed Martin: 4.26% Cisco Systems: 4.17% The top five weighted sectors in SCHD are: Consumer defensive: 19.65% Energy: 18.80% Health care: 14.55% Industrials: 11.13% Technology: 10.76% A minimum of 90% of the stocks in the SCHD portfolio are also in the Dow Jones US Dividend 100 Index, although rankings may differ. Schwab International Dividend Equity ETF For equivalent levels of criteria selection, growth potential, income, and stability in an international ETF, the Schwab International Dividend Equity ETF (NYSE: SCHY) complements SCHD very seamlessly in a portfolio. Similarly to SCHD, SCHY will only consider companies with a minimum unbroken 10-year track record of dividend payouts, as well as market cap and liquidity parameters. The next 4 calculated elements determine rankings: Cash flow-to-total debt ratio Return on equity Dividend yield Five-year dividend growth rate The top 400 stocks that make the cut are then calculated for historical price volatility, and those that exceed the overall average are eliminated from the running. The final 100 that make the cut that are added to the portfolio, under the following weighting caps, which are adjusted and rebalanced each quarter: No individual stock weighting to exceed 4% No sector weighting to exceed 15% Any emerging market sector stocks cannot collectively exceed 15% Dividend Yield 3.89% Dividend Payment Frequency Quarterly Dividend Growth (trailing 3-years)) 20.29% Dividend Payout Ratio 54.80% Total Assets $1.1 billion Daily Trade Volume Average 361,208 shares Inception Date 10-20-2011 Expense Ratio 0.08% 1-year trailing return 15.46% 3-year trailing return 7.67% 5-year trailing return N/A 10-year trailing return N/A Like SCHD, the top five weighted holdings in SCHY also span numerous sectors: Enel SpA: 4.69% Wesfarmers Ltd.: 4.22% Vinci SA: 4.18% British American Tobacco: 4.04% Unilever: 4.02% The top five weighted sectors in SCHY are: Consumer defensive: 15.82% Financial services: 15.33% Communications services: 13.15% Industrials: 12.07% Health care: 11.44% Some Strategies to Keep in Mind Selection for asset liquidations mandated under RMD rules should be submitted to careful deliberation in order to maintain income stream while preserving sufficient growth to keep up with inflation. Retirees that are relying on their portfolio for their living expense income will likely want to keep the following tips in mind if adding SCHD and/or SCHY to an IRA: SCHD dividends are qualified dividends, meaning that they qualify for taxations at lower capital gains rates than as income. As dividends from SCHY are from international companies, portions of those dividends may not qualify, depending on criteria such as if the stock meets the minimum 61-day holding threshold from the ETF, etc. A tax-professional should likely be consulted if there are any questions. Required minimum distribution (RMD) mandates commence when an account holder reaches age 73. Depending on what other assets are in the portfolio, the long term viability of SCHD and SCHY to continue steady growth and continued reliable income should be weighed against any other assets to determine if they should be incrementally liquidated to meet RMD dictates, or if other growth assets might be more suitable. The combination of growth, income and diversity offered from SCHD and SCHY might weather future market turbulence better than other assets which might be more geared for growth or only for income, and thus more vulnerable.

Altria's Rich Incomes Comes With Smoke-Free Growth Headwinds
- MO's rich dividend investment thesis at forward yields of 6.82% remains secure, thanks to its rich cash flows and healthier balance sheet. The stock continues to enjoy bullish support as well, despite the uncertainty arising from the NJOY patent issues and the "cease-and-desist orders." Even so, MO is seemingly leaning towards a new e-cigarette design, which may require an entirely new US FDA marketing approval, implying its minimal intermediate-term growth tailwinds.

3 Recession-Resistant Dividend Kings With High Yields
- Key Points Dividend Kings are some of the most stable stocks in the market. Their dividends have been hiked through recessions, and the trend is likely to continue. These three pay high yields and are also resistant to recessions. Are you ahead, or behind on retirement? SmartAsset’s free tool can match you with a financial advisor in minutes to help you answer that today. Each advisor has been carefully vetted, and must act in your best interests. Don’t waste another minute; get started by clicking here.(Sponsor) Dividend Kings are some of the most solid stocks to own in the market. The title means that the company has raised its dividends for the past 50 years straight. This is not a title that any company wants to forgo, so the dividends that Dividend Kings pay are the most stable in the market. Moreover, getting that title in the first place means that these companies would have to have very stable businesses. And they do. Dividend Kings are usually consumer staples, utilities, or are in sectors that are very defensive in nature. This also helps them weather recessions well.Here are three to look into that come with high yields. These yields may not look as high due to Treasury yields, but they’re among the best you’ll get when it comes to Dividend Kings. And the underlying stock also appreciates, unlike Treasuries. Altria Group (MO) Altria Group (NYSE:MO) is a tobacco company. And as you’d expect, this company has very sticky cash flows regardless of the economic environment. Even a recession is not going to change people’s smoking habits overnight. If anything, it’ll cause an increase in smoking rates. One of the biggest arguments for not investing in MO stock is that smoking rates are seeing a gradual decline, especially among the youth. But the notion that young people do not smoke is wrong. It is true they don’t do traditional cigarettes as much, but electronic cigarettes (or vapes) and other alternative products are still popular. Altria is far from dying. It is now betting on e-vapor and nicotine pouches. Regardless, the main business is still on a gradual slope downwards, as even vapes are becoming less popular. People are still buying MO stock as it has an 8% stake in Anheuser-Busch InBev (NYSE:BUD) for global beer exposure, and a 41% stake in Cronos Group (NASDAQ:CRON) for cannabis exposure. On top of that, Altria is considered a premium brand company, and its portfolio is almost exclusively made up of Marlboro. People are willing to pay more for it, and Altria has been using that pricing power to keep its cash flow (and dividends) steady. It’ll take multiple decades for the cash flow to fall markedly. In the meantime, I’d sit on this recession-resistant dividend stock with solid yields. MO stock comes with a dividend yield of 6.88% and 56 years of consecutive dividend hikes. PepsiCo (PEP) PepsiCo (NASDAQ:PEP) is one of the safest stocks in the market right now. The company’s products have solid demand as it dominates snack shelves. Moreover, the valuation is much better now. It trades at just 19 times earnings after a 26.4% decline from its peak, though PEP stock has traded sideways through May. The recent decline is worse than 2008 or 2020 in terms of value and is quite comparable to the pandemic crash in percentage terms. Even if a recession were to hit, I see little downside risk from here, but plenty of long-term upside. This is a well-established company that should recover from the selloff just fine and deliver solid returns in the coming years. In the meantime, you could sit on its 4.31% dividend yield with 54 years of consecutive dividend increases. Historically, Wall Street has paid over 26 times earnings for PEP stock, and even though the growth outlook going forward is not as good as its growth from 2019 to 2023, you should keep in mind that PepsiCo had declining revenue for a good stretch of the early 2010s and still kept an upward trajectory due to the bottom line being resilient. Once interest rate cuts start, that should be the catalyst that finally nudges PepsiCo higher toward its historical trajectory. It posted a net interest loss of $264 million, and if it can receive some relief on that front, along with organic revenue growth turning a corner, Wall Street would have no option but to turn bullish. Northwest Natural Holding (NWN) Northwest Natural Holdings (NYSE:NWN) is a natural gas utility company. Utility stocks are one of the safest names you can invest in due to tariffs making the broader industry more volatile. Utility companies do their business almost entirely domestically, and they don’t have much exposure to trade policy. These companies are also detached from natural gas prices, since their main business is natural gas distribution through pipelines. Northwest Natural also does wastewater management and energy storage. NWN stock is now down over 48% from its highs in 2019. The stock mainly declined due to inflation and rate hikes increasing debt servicing costs. However, most of the bearishness was priced in by late 2023, and the stock has been on an uptrend since. The economic cycle is turning with more rate cuts on the horizon, so more upside is likely in the coming years. In the meantime, you can sit on its 4.93% dividend yield, which has been raised for 70 consecutive years. The dividend payout ratio of 65% is quite good for a utility business.The post 3 Recession-Resistant Dividend Kings With High Yields appeared first on 24/7 Wall St..

Make an Easy $2,852 in Passive Income By Invest $25,000 in These Dividend Stocks Today
- Key Points Put your money to work. Make it make you money. It can make you a good deal of consistent money if you invest wisely in higher-yielding Dividend King stocks. Are you ahead, or behind on retirement? SmartAsset’s free tool can match you with a financial advisor in minutes to help you answer that today. Each advisor has been carefully vetted, and must act in your best interests. Don’t waste another minute; get started by clicking here.(Sponsor) Put your money to work and make it make you money. Unfortunately, it’s not going to make you much money in a standard low-yielding savings account. But it can make you a good deal of consistent money if you invest wisely in higher-yielding Dividend King stocks. Not only are you investing in reliable growth, but you’re also investing in a company with reliable dividends. Look at Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO), for example. The company just approved its 63rd consecutive annual dividend increase, raising its quarterly dividend to 51 cents per share. It’s considered a Dividend King because it’s been paying out a dividend for more than 50 years. In KO’s case, it’s been distributing yield since 1971. Today, if you bought $25,000 worth of the KO stock, you would take ownership of 349 shares. With a $2.04 annual payout, you can sit back and collect about $712 in yearly income. And all you had to do was buy and hold a popular stock. As for other Dividend Kings to consider, here are three you may want to buy today. Pepsico With a yield of 4.3%, Pepsico (NASDAQ: PEP) is a familiar name with a strong, dependable yield. PEP has now raised its dividend for the 53rd time since 1965. Most recently, PEP paid out a quarterly dividend of $1.4225 per share – a 5% increase year over year – on June 30. Annualized, that’s $5.69. So, if you invest $25,000 in PEP now, you can take ownership of about 188 shares. You’re buying a dependable company with years of success. And, using today’s PEP price of $132.60, you can collect $1,069.72 in yearly income just by holding the PEP stock. Helping, analysts at RBC just reiterated a sector perform rating on the stock with a target price of $163 per share. We also have to consider the company is investing in inorganic growth as it gets more involved with healthier food and beverages. For example, PEP just acquired Poppi – a healthy soda brand – for $1.95 billion. American States Water With a yield of 2.41%, Dividend King, American States Water (NYSE: AWR) provides water and electric services with a strong history of consistent dividend increases. It’s paid out a dividend every year since 1931. While it may sound boring, it’s a moneymaker with a tight dividend. Just last month, AWR approved a quarterly dividend of $0.4655 per share – its 356th consecutive dividend – which is payable on June 3 to shareholders of record as of May 19. Annualized, that’s $1.862. If you invested $25,000 in AWR, you’d take ownership of just over 322 shares. That would hand you about $599.56 per year in dividends. Helping, AWR just blew earnings out of the water. In its first quarter, EPS of 70 cents beat by three cents. Revenue of $148.01 million, up 9.4% year over year, beat by $2.16 million. Plus, analysts at Wells Fargo just upgraded AWR to an equal weight rating with a price target of $84. Target With a yield of 4.73%, Target (NYSE: TGT) is another interesting, yielding opportunity. The company just declared a quarterly dividend of $1.12 per share. Annualized that’s $4.48 per share. If you were to buy $25,000 worth of the TGT stock, you’d take ownership of just under 264 shares. Not only can you profit from potential stock price appreciation, but you can also collect an annual dividend of $1,182.72. Granted, Target has come under pressure on earnings. However, it does look like most of the negativity has been priced into the retailer. Helping, TD Cowen analysts initiated coverage of the stock with a hold rating with a price target of $105. “The analysts highlighted Target’s attractive core business, which is supported by innovative and exclusive products, as well as profitable digital fulfillment strategies with potential for scale,” as noted by Investing.com. If you want to diversify even more, there are always dividend-paying ETFs. SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 High Dividend ETF With an expense ratio of 0.07% and a yield of just under 5%, the SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 High Dividend ETF (NYSEARCA:SPYD) tracks the total return performance of the S&P 500 High Dividend Index, which is designed to measure the performance of the top 80 high dividend stocks on the S&P 500. At the moment, it has 77 holdings. Some of its top holdings include CVS Health Group, Consolidated Edison, Philip Morris, AT&T, Exelon Corp., Verizon, and Altria Group to name just a few. iShares Core High Dividend ETF There’s also the iShares Core High Dividend ETF (NYSE: HDV). With an expense ratio of 0.08% and a yield of 3.36%, the HDV ETF tracks the investment results of an index composed of relatively high dividend-paying U.S. equities. Some of its 75 holdings include Exxon Mobil, Johnson & Johnson, Progressive Corp., Chevron, AbbVie, Philip Morris, AT&T, and Coca-Cola.

I’m 28 and Wondering If I Went Too Heavy on Dividends Too Early – Seeking Portfolio Advice
- It’s good to receive advice for your portfolio, but you’re ultimately the one who makes the decisions. A 28-year-old recently asked for some suggestions about his portfolio and wondered if the portfolio has too many dividend stocks. Typically, younger people should put more of their money into growth stocks and gradually de-risk their portfolios as they get older. Here’s what the 28-year-old’s $194k portfolio looks like Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (NYSEARCA:VOO): $77.9k Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (NYSEARCA:SCHD): $50.0k Altria Group (NYSE:MO): $19.7k Reality Income (NYSE:O): $19.3k Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund ETF (NYSEARCA:VTI): $12.5k Vanguard Growth Index Fund ETF (NYSEARCA:VUG): $11.0k These are some ideas for the 28-year-old. Key Points A 28-year-old with a $194k portfolio wonders if it makes sense to put a lot of money into dividend stocks. Diversifying into growth ETFs may come with more risk, but it has historically generated higher returns. Are you ahead, or behind on retirement? SmartAsset’s free tool can match you with a financial advisor in minutes to help you answer that today. Each advisor has been carefully vetted, and must act in your best interests. Don’t waste another minute; get started by clicking here.(Sponsor) You Can Withstand Market Corrections Older people put their money into blue-chip dividend stocks because they don’t have as much time to withstand market corrections. Retirees in their 70s need stability, while younger people in their 20s don’t have to touch the money for decades. It’s better to maximize growth when you are younger than to put the money into stable dividend stocks. For instance, Reality Income has only been up by 11% over the past five years. The company’s high yield has led to more gains than advertised on the company’s stock chart, but dividend income is deceptive. Any dividends you receive are subject to additional taxes. However, it’s worse for REITs like Realty Income since REIT distributions are treated as ordinary income. O stock makes the most sense for Roth retirement accounts and seniors who want cash flow and don’t make as much income as they did when they were younger. Exiting O and putting the money into VUG can result in higher total returns, since VUG is up by 115% over the past five years. VUG Is The Biggest Long-Term Winner Long-term returns don’t guarantee future success, but they offer more reasons for optimism if they’re good. Out of all of the stocks and ETFs the 28-year-old has, VUG has produced the highest annualized returns over a long period of time. Even though this fund has been the biggest winner over a long stretch, it’s currently the smallest position in the Redditor’s portfolio. That should change in the future if the Redditor wants to take a growth approach and maximize their total returns. It’s riskier than buying stable dividend stocks, but it has been the more rewarding path for long-term investors. Dividend investing makes more sense as you get older and want to minimize your losses. It doesn’t make as much sense for a 28-year-old who doesn’t have to touch their holdings for the next 10+ years. Speak With A Financial Advisor If the 28-year-old isn’t sure what to do or wants personalized guidance, a financial advisor may be the answer. This advisor doesn’t have to manage your portfolio. You can just go to occasional consultations with this advisor and ask them your money questions. While you can learn everything you need to know online, a financial advisor can get to know you personally. They’ll understand how to talk about your financial goals amid market corrections and what to say to you specifically. This level of personalization is more than what you can get with any article or artificial intelligence tool. Fiduciaries are the only advisors you should do business with. These advisors are required to serve in your best interest instead of recommending products that give them the highest commissions.The post I’m 28 and Wondering If I Went Too Heavy on Dividends Too Early – Seeking Portfolio Advice appeared first on 24/7 Wall St..

June's Dividend Kings: 3 Ideal Buys In 25 "Safer" Dogs
- Most Dividend Kings are currently overpriced, but six offer fair value where annual dividends from $1,000 invested exceed their share price.

Analyst projections suggest select Dividend Kings could deliver up to 58% total returns by June 2026, with lower volatility than the market overall.

Altria Group, Inc. (NYSE: MO) Price Prediction and Forecast 2025-2030 (June 2025)
- Shares of Altria Group Inc. (NYSE: MO) gained 1.27% over the past month but have risen 7.63% since May 14. So far this year, the stock is up 15.46% while also paying a sizable dividend that currently yields 6.73%. So far in 2025, the Dividend King is not only outpacing its benchmark index but continuing to reward income investors as it has now increased its distribution 59 times over the past 55 years. When the company reported Q1 earnings in April, it missed on revenue by -2.09% but beat on EPS by 3.52%. That miss on revenue is unlikely to impact forward guidance, however, as the stock’s sizable payout ratio continues to attract investors amid a landscape of uncertainty. Over the past six months, MO has gained 10.21% and is up 34.88% over the past year, outperforming the S&P 500 over the same period by an eye-catching 22.75%. Among iconic American brands, Altria’s Marlboro cigarettes are as recognizable as iPhones, Levi Jeans and Coca-Cola. While the company’s origins can be traced back to George Weyman’s tobacco shop in 1822, Altria filed its first annual report as Philip Morris in 1920 and would come to dominate U.S. tobacco throughout the 20th century and beyond. As Philip Morris branched out to acquire General Foods and Kraft, among others, it changed its name in 2003 to Altria Group while retaining the “MO” ticker. Altria has continued to grow at an albeit slower pace, due to health risks associated with tobacco use that has caused legislative restrictions. However, as a Dividend King and an institutional investment favorite, the company remains historically reliable and, as evidenced by its performance so far in 2025, more than capable of weathering severe market downturns. Key Points In This Article: Altria purchase of vape maker NJOY gives it access to a massive distribution network. Marlboro remains a giant in the U.S. cigarette industry with 42% of the market share.

This report breaks down AI stocks with 10x potential and will give you a huge leg up on profiting from this massive sea change. Altria’s Recent Stock Success In 2016, Altria acquired 10% of Anheuser Busch InBev NV ADR (NYSE: BUD), the maker of Budweiser beer. The company has since reduced its stake to 8%, but the initial investment marked a run of M&A activity that increased CapEx but intrinsically increased the company’s valuation. Sherman Group Holdings, LLC was purchased in 2018, followed by Helix Innovations and Cronos Group — a medical and recreational cannabis company — being added to the Altria portfolio in 2019. In 2023, the company acquired NJOY.

Over the same period, it was able to repurchase $7.9 billion worth of stock. And from August 2023 to August 2024, the company increased its dividend by more than 4.1%. Key Drivers for Altria’s Stock in the Future 1. Growing Demand for Smokeless Products: Globally, the smokeless product industry is valued at $16.81 billion and is projected to undergo a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.8% from 2024 to 2030. While 84.9% of distribution is offline, online distribution is forecast for a 6.2% CAGR through 2030, which is likely to help bolster sales as these products continue to expand their global reach. NJOY achieved the first-ever FDA marketing granted orders for menthol e-vapor products. 2. Continuous Dividend Growth: Last year, Altria notched its 55th consecutive year of dividend growth. The stock continues to be a favorite among income investors, and it currently pays a dividend yielding 6.87%. For context, yield-investing fan favorite Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (NYSE: SCHD) currently only pays 4.04% and has seen a year-to-date loss of 4.81%. As such, Altria continues to provide investors with a safe haven, alluring (and sustainable) yield and impressive share performance. 3. Emerging Markets: Cronos (cannabinoid) and Helix (oral nicotine pouches) were both acquired in 2019 and should help Altria expand into those respective markets. This is particularly relevant in light of the FDA announcing in January 2025 that it has authorized marketing of 20 ZYN Nicotine Pouch Products — a major competitor — following an extensive scientific review. Altria (MO) Price Prediction for 2025 According to Wall Street analysts, the current consensus one-year price target for Altria Group is $56.86, which represents potential downside of 6.21% over the next 12 months based on the current share price. Of the eights analysts covering MO, the stock is given a consensus “Hold” rating, with three assigning a “Buy” rating, three assigning a “Hold” rating and two assigning a “Sell” rating. On the other hand, 24/7 Wall St.‘s forecast is close, with a projected price target for Altria Group of $57.27, or 5.54% potential downside from the stock’s current price. We believe that Altria’s high dividend and relatively low P/E ratio will continue to attract investors, which will in turn support the stock price amid the ongoing downturn in the broad market. Altria Stock Price Target 2025–2030 By the conclusion of 2030, 24/7 Wall St. estimates that Altria’s stock will be trading for $65.15, good for an 7.45% increase over today’s share price, based on an EPS of $6.05. Year EPS Price Target %Change From Current Price 2025 $5.32 $57.27 -5.54% 2026 $5.50 $59.24 -2.29% 2027 $5.67 $61.06 0.70% 2028 $5.77 $62.10 2.42% 2029 $5.90 $63.55 4.81% 2030 $6.05 $65.15 7.45% The post Altria Group, Inc.

If You Invested $10,000 In SCHD 5 Years Ago, This Is How Much Cash From Dividends You Would Have Today
- In the not too distant past, a focus on dividends was considered the province of retirees and conservative investors who shied away from market volatility. Taking risks with high flying tech stocks led to dramatic gains during bull markets, but their whipsaw corrections before climbing to new highs were not for the faint of heart. The bull market of the past decade has concurrently led to the exponential proliferation of the FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early) ethos, especially among young people. The DIY mindset, the rise of cryptocurrencies, and the spread of one click stock buying platforms from RobinHood and others have contributed to the rise of FIRE. Since it strategizes a strong work ethic, aggressive investing, a thrifty lifestyle, and an independent control over one’s retirement as the path towards a wealthy and happy post-employment life, FIRE devotees have built a movement among Millennials and Gen-Z. Too young to have experienced the dotcom bust of the 1990s, the post 9/11 market woes that presaged The Gulf War, and the 2008 subprime mortgage banking collapse, many FIRE adherents have never known a bear market. The recent reactive market turbulence to President Trump’s tariff policies have caused thousands of point swings on the Dow Jones Average, and have given a dose of investing reality to those FIRE adherents who only thought markets only went up. Discovering that their risk tolerance was weaker than anticipated, a good many FIRE adherents have turned to dividend stocks and funds with a growth component that can still deliver their FIRE objectives, albeit at a slower pace and with fewer sleepless nights. Key Points Once the hallmark of retirees and conservative baby boomer investors, dividends have gained a following among FIRE devotees. ETFs that feature solid annual growth with a dividend component can be good wealth building platforms when DRIP plans are implemented. The recent turbulence in the markets has made growth platforms with a solid dividend that implies greater stability and lower volatility even more attractive with investors of late. Are you ahead or behind on retirement? SmartAsset’s free tool can match you with a financial advisor in minutes to help you answer that today. Each advisor has been carefully vetted and must act in your best interests. Don’t waste another minute – get started by clicking here.(Sponsor) Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF SCHD is a growth ETF with a 4% yield and lower volatility than those ETFs heavily weighted with volatile tech stocks., yet still capable of strong annual growth. In their search for an alternative to high-flying Magnificent 7 stocks or S&P 500 Index ETFs heavily weighted with those stocks, the Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF (NYSE: SCHD) is an ETF that meets the growth and stability requirements of FIRE followers. Designed to track the Dow Jones U.S. Dividend 100 Index, stock inclusion in SCHD must meet the following criteria: Minimum of 10 consecutive years of dividend payments. Floating Market Capitalization minimum of $500 minimum. Minimum Average Daily Trading Volume of $2 million. SCHD uses a 4 step calculation that takes free cash flow, total debt, return on equity, indicated annual dividend, and five year dividend growth rate to gauge a ranking. The top 100 scoring companies are included in the index. If two companies have the same score, the one with the larger dividend gets the higher ranking. At the time of this writing, other SCHD details include: Dividend Yield 4.03% Dividend Payment Frequency Quarterly Dividend Growth (trailing) 16.69% Dividend Payout Ratio 63.87% Total Assets $66.9 billion Daily Trade Volume Average 18.84 million shares Inception Date 10-20-2011 Expense Ratio 0.06% The top 5 weighted holdings in SCHD are: ConocoPhillips – 4.42% Coca-Cola – 4.41% Verizon Communications – 4.28% Lockheed Martin – 4.24% Altria Group – 4.21% The Dividend Difference As the calculator demonstrates, a $10,000 investment in SCHD back in January, 2020 would be worth $16,105.12 today, at the time of this writing, which equates to a 61.05 % ROI. The total return would be $6,105.12. . The annualized return equates to 9.24%. This calculation also includes compounding through reinvested dividends. The reinvested dividend value equates to $1,103.91. The cash dividends paid out from the initial 172.21 shares equates to $2,277.66 . If the dividends were not reinvested, the total return would be $3,375.24 . Therefore, reinvesting the dividends enabled an additional return difference of $2,729.88 over the 5 year span. The Power of Compounding Dividend compounding can be a wealth building force multiplier but also has the flexibility for fast liquidity in cases of emergency. The principles of wealth building through dollar cost averaging and compounding are standard practice among FIRE devotees. In pure growth asset scenarios, the investor needs to keep adding funds in order to fuel additional purchases. As the calculations clearly demonstrate, the dividends supplied by SCHD provide sufficient capital for buying additional shares and perpetuating growth even without the benefit of additional capital. By using dividend compounding, FIRE adherents can build wealth at an approximate 10% annual clip, and there are also additional benefits: By adding additional investment capital, an investor can multiply the growth compounding leverage on top of the dividends at their discretion. As SCHD’s dividend growth rate is continuing in double digits annually, the dividend reinvestment component will also add annual buying power to accelerate growth. The dividends from SCHD can be diverted into liquid cash should an emergency need for their deployment arise. For those still seeking a strong growth rate but with lower volatility and an income factor for greater flexibility, SCHD is a strong candidate for consideration, as the numbers display.

And again, consumer Staples, well, you, you Proctor and Gamble, you have Kimberly Clark (NYSE: KMB). Kimberly Clark makes diapers. [00:01:57] Lee Jackson: I know as a new grandfather, diapers are apparently very well needed. So they, the demand never drops for these.And Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO) falls into that category as a consumer staple, as does your favorite stock, Altria. [00:02:14] Doug McIntyre: I love Altria. [00:02:15] Lee Jackson: I know you do, but it’s, those are all, and, and Altria pays a strong [00:02:19] Doug McIntyre: 7% dividend. [00:02:20] Doug McIntyre: Oh God. Yes. And they’ve got the, they’ve got the cash. They’re, to me, they are the dividend king. The dividend has been raised 55 times in 50 years. [00:02:34] Lee Jackson: They are a dividend king. They, they fit the bill and in their recent earnings report, which was outstanding, any drop off in, in SIGs, burning SIGs, sales was more than made up by, the, the smuggle, vapor vapor stuff and the pouch stuff. [00:02:56] Lee Jackson: The, the stuff that you, you put between your cheek and gum, like right here. Garrison used to say. Yeah. So, [00:03:04] Doug McIntyre: but yes. [00:03:04] Lee Jackson: Yeah. So I mean, if, you’re still concerned about tariffs, look at those companies, and again, it’s, it’s. consumer staples, real estate insurance communications, just companies that have domestic production and don’t have a lot of foreign exposure. [00:03:19] Lee Jackson: And that’s one safe place to be until the tariff cluster, kind of diminishes somewhat, which it will it and it will diminish because this, this can’t go on forever. But, those are the areas you can look at if you’re worried about tariffs. The post Tariffs Aren’t Going to Touch These Stocks appeared first on 24/7 Wall St..

I have $3,000 to invest: Should I go all in on SCHD or mix it with VOO?
- The market climate at the time of this writing can be described in a number of ways, but “boring” is certainly not one of them. Ever since President Donald Trump announced his policy of reciprocal tariffs to level the international trade playing field, the stock and bond markets have both become cyclonic in their volatility. 2,000+ point intraday swings in either direction on the Dow Jones Average and a 50 basis point swing for the 10-year Treasury Bond yield in less than a month have given even veteran investors bouts of nausea. As a result, investors from all levels of experience are looking at their portfolios and considering reassessment of their holdings, at least to better handle the current volatility and to reduce the sleepless nights of worry. Key Points The current turbulence in the stock markets are giving both novice and seasoned investors some cause for reconsidering their portfolio compositions. ETFs like SCHD have aspects like dividend focus, which may make them less volatile than ones like VOO, which exclusively tracks the S&P 500 Index. People who are new to investing can find the gigantic menu of choices overwhelming and intimidating, so knowing one’s own goals and risk tolerance before selecting an investment vehicle is a prudent rule of thumb to follow. Are you ahead, or behind on retirement? SmartAsset’s free tool can match you with a financial advisor in minutes to help you answer that today. Each advisor has been carefully vetted, and must act in your best interests. Don’t waste another minute; get started by clicking here here.(Sponsor) Navigating Through A Huge Menu Of Selections The huge array of available investment selections can be intimidating and overwhelming neophyte investors. A relatively new investor with $3,000 to invest was seeking vehicle suggestions, and posted a question on Reddit. He was considering the following, but was open to any other suggestions: He was considering investing in the Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF (NYSE: SCHD) based on what he’d read from other posts. The poster was looking to contribute $100 per week to take advantage of compounding and dollar cost averaging. Admittedly young and inexperienced, he did understand how investing for the long-term was to his advantage, so he was not seeking quick, short-term gains. He was concerned with putting all of his cookies in a single basket, so was inquiring about opinions on diversifying an allocation into the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (NYSE: VOO). To his credit, the poster realizes now that the Millennial FIRE (Financial Independence Retire Early) meme of “VOO and chill” might not be an appropriate direction to take in the current climate. Nevertheless, he acknowledges the long-term track record of the S&P 500 and how it has benefited millions who have contributed to it regularly and let it compound to build wealth. As the poster has already established long term goals, assessing risk tolerance is probably the next factor to identify before finalizing his course of action. Taking a closer look at SCHD and VOO is probably a prudent step to accomplish this step. (All market quote details are as of the time of this writing.) Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF The Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF is an exchange traded fund that is designed to track The Dow Jones U.S. Dividend 100 Index. Dividend Yield 3.96% Dividend Payment Frequency Quarterly Dividend Growth 16.67% Dividend Payout Ratio 61.04% Total Assets $65.589 billion Daily Trade Volume Average 18.02 million shares Beta (5 year) 0.74% 1-Year Return 8.04% 5-Year Return 17.32% 10-Year Return 11.44% Inception Date 10-20-2011 Inception Price $8.40 Expense Ratio 0.06% Sector wise, SCHD’s top 5 heaviest weighted industrial areas are: Energy – 21.12% Consumer Defensive – 19.04% Health Care – 15.65% Industrials – 10.53% Technology – 9.76% The top 5 weighted holdings in SCHD are: Verizon Communications – 4.51% Coca-Cola – 4.46% Lockheed Martin – 4.26% Altria Group – 4.20% ConocoPhillips – 4.19% Vanguard S&P 500 ETF The Vanguard S&P 500 ETF is a favorite of Warren Buffett and many FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) devotees. Its tracking of the S&P 500 index has delivered sizable double digit growth for millions of portfolios over the past several years. Dividend Yield 1.30% Dividend Payment Frequency Quarterly 52-week high 563.92 52-week low 442.80 Total Assets $1.32 trillion Daily Trade Volume Average 8.34 million shares Beta (5 year) 1.00% 1-Year Return 8.22% 5-Year Return 18.55% 10-Year Return 12.46% Inception Date 11/13/2000 Inception Price $17.68 Expense Ratio 0.03% Top 5 Sector Weightings: Technology – 31.03% Financial Services – 14.15% Healthcare – 11.20% Consumer Cyclical – 10.36% Communication Services – 9.34% The top 5 largest holdings include: Apple – 7.03% Microsoft – 5.88% Nvidia – 5.59% Amazon – 3.78% Meta Platforms (Facebook) – 2.66% Helpful Insights Young investors are better off tailoring their investment selections to suit their own goals and risk tolerance levels than to just buy an investment because “other people told them to do it” only to regret it afterwards. As one might expect, a number of the respondents agreed that some diversification was a good idea, as was the plan to invest a new contribution every week. Some of the the specifics included: Due to his youth, some suggested that it would behoove the poster to focus more on growth, and suggested SCHG (Schwab Large Cap Growth ETF), which has a superior ROI history over SCHD. In either case, reinvesting dividends to leverage compounding over the long haul was advised. Some lauded the dividend consideration, since the extra income could serve as a safety net in the event that the poster’s job were to be in jeopardy in the future. Another respondent agreed with adding VOO, but also including an ETF for international exposure so that in the event of a US economic downturn, there would be non-US holdings that could potentially offset any bearishness from the other holdings. This article is intended for informational purposes. Any need for more in-depth advice should come from a financial professional.

Dividend Champion Stocks Make More Sense Than Kings or Aristocrats, And Includes The Best Dividend Stock of All Time (MO)
- 24/7 Wall St. Key Points: Dividend champions are companies that have raised dividends for 25+ consecutive years, regardless of market cap or S&P 500 inclusion, offering a broader pool than aristocrats or kings. Stocks on the dividend champion list, such as Altria (NYSE: MO), have proven resilient by maintaining payouts through crises like the 2008 financial meltdown. Even minimal annual dividend increases preserve a company’s champion status, reinforcing their commitment to income-focused investors. As good as the dividend champions are… the dividend legends are even better. They are a rare class of stock that can’t stop making investors rich. Click here to learn more. Watch the Video https://videos.247wallst.com/247wallst.com/2025/03/Dividend-Champion-Stocks-Make-More-Sense-Than-Kings-or-Aristocrats-And-Includes-the-Best-Dividend-Stock-of-All-Time-MO.mp4 Transcript: [00:00:04] Doug McIntyre: So we have something now called dividend champions. There are other dividend kings. Dividend aristocrats, right. Tell me what are dividend champions? [00:00:16] Lee Jackson: Well, they’re similar to the dividend aristocrats and dividend kings in that the stocks that make up the portfolio. And these are very good stocks for our readers and our viewers to watch because in dividend aristocrats, they have to have raised their dividend for 25 years or more, and they have to be part of the S&P 500. [00:00:37] Lee Jackson: To be a dividend king, you have to raise your, dividend for 50 years or more. But you don’t have to be, you do not have to be in the S&P 500. The interesting thing about the dividend champions, and this is why we like to write about it and suggest it to, viewers, is that. they have to have been raising their dividends for 25 years or more. [00:01:00] Lee Jackson: But a dividend champion can be, any market cap doesn’t have to be in the S&P 500. So it expands the list a lot bigger than e either the dividend kings or the dividend aristocrats where, which were about in the fifties. I think there’s 150 some odd dividend champions, and a lot of the names are smaller names that don’t make the other ones because, they don’t even have the market cap, or they’re not in the S&P. [00:01:28] Lee Jackson: But for our viewers, that are thinking hard about dividend stocks, this is the place to be because any company, and Altria is one of them, and it’s a stock. I know you, like anybody that’s raised their dividend for 25 years or more is a best bet for people looking for growth and income because that dividend’s gonna be there and it’s gonna go up. [00:01:52] Lee Jackson: it’s not just gonna stay static, it’s gonna go up, and that helps you keep up with inflation. That is exactly what we, try to always stress total return. And dividend stocks really help. [00:02:05] Doug McIntyre: Well, the thing I love about stocks that have made it 25 years small, big, medium sized, is that means that they paid dividends through the Great Recession. [00:02:16] Doug McIntyre: Right? So if you, said to me, what’s a battle tested dividend? My battle test for dividends is what about the worst economic period of the second half of the 20th century if you were still sending those checks out to people and you didn’t have to cut. That means, in a better economic environment like the one we’re in right now, the chances of that thing being solid are pretty close to a hundred percent. [00:02:44] Lee Jackson: Oh, absolutely. And the thing is for, many of these companies, even if they only raise it a penny. And sometimes that’s the case. They don’t have the kinda year where they can raise, the Altria increase recently for their shareholders was over 4%, in terms of the dividend. [00:03:01] Lee Jackson: Well, hey, if you can’t do that, they don’t wanna lose the designation as dividend aristocrat or dividend king or dividend champion. So they’ll raise it by a penny. But yeah, I mean, that’s a really good point, Doug. Is that. Any company that can survive due through what we saw in, ’06 , ’07, ’08, and then just a total meltdown in ’08 and ’09. [00:03:25] Lee Jackson: Anyone that could keep paying their dividend during that struggle, that’s the kinda stock that growth and income investors need to have in their portfolios. And there’s a ton of them. And we write about it at 24/7 all the time because new co new companies go in, sometimes they drop out. Walgreens was a perfect example. [00:03:43] Lee Jackson: It was in there for years, but they had to slash their dividend and AT&T (NYSE: T) was one. There’s been other companies that were big name companies that, Stopped, that didn’t raise their dividend. And that’s all that’ll do. I mean, whether it’s a penny or a dime or 20 cents, if you raise it at all, you keep your classification. [00:04:03] Lee Jackson: So I think it would be really smart. And you’re right. Look at, and there’s, the nice thing about the dividend champions is the stock list is so much broader than the other two. So it’s probably a good, it’s a good idea for those that are looking for quality, passive income and looking for dependability, these are the stocks you need to look at that are in the dividend champions.

Vanguard High Dividend VYM and Global X Super Dividend DIV Are Top ETFs to Buy In April
- Liberation Day was met with some pretty significant panic selling activity. And while it’s tough to justify buying shares in this environment as President Trump keeps raising the bar on tariffs on more than a handful of nations, I still think that a cool, calm mindset and a greater focus on the long-term trajectory will allow investors to stay the course as the fasten-your-seatbelt sign illuminates once again as we enter the month of April. Key Points If the correction has you seeking lower betas and higher yields, the VYM and DIV may be your cup of tea. If 2025 ends up a drawn-out rotation year, punching your ticket to a dividend ETF could prove smart. Are you ahead, or behind on retirement? SmartAsset’s free tool can match you with a financial advisor in minutes to help you answer that today. Each advisor has been carefully vetted, and must act in your best interests. Don’t waste another minute; get started by clicking here here.(Sponsor) Undoubtedly, Liberation Day, which pulled the curtain on tariff details, seemed much more than Wall Street may have expected. Indeed, perhaps retail investors thought Trump would be more willing to backtrack and reach some compromise to prevent further downside in a market already in a full-blown correction. At this juncture, it’s unclear if there will be more such days in the future that will spark another rout in markets. Though we may be only halfway to an eventual stock market bottom, I still think drip-feeding extra cash into stocks over time could be the best way to go for both investors. If you’re nowhere near retirement, the tariff stock troubles shouldn’t scare you out of markets. However, if you’re a retiree and you’re feeling the pain and growing anxiety, it’s time to give the lower-beta passive income plays another look (perhaps at the expense of the fastest-falling names atop the Nasdaq 100), as they look to act as a pair of shocks on your portfolio, helping ride out the growing number of potholes and cracks on the road to retirement while paying you dividends for staying aboard the bumpier ride. Here are two top income ETFs worth checking out as the tariff tumble drags into April. Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF (VYM) For the Vanguard fans out there, the Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF (NYSEARCA:VYM) seems like a wise buy to brace for tariff uncertainties and increased investor indigestion following Liberation Day. With the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 in correction territory, shares of the VYM are off just over 4% from their highs. The 0.06% expense ratio is a low price to pay for a basket of some of the bluest blue chip dividend payers in the U.S. The higher dividend yield (2.61%) and less painful ride could make it a fine middleground for rattled retirees who are ready to cash out of the biggest winners on the capital gain front over the past two years. As investors rotate into defensive dividends and stocks with lower price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios, I view the VYM as having what it takes to top the S&P 500 if you’re of the belief that tariffs won’t be going away anytime soon. Personally, I think some trade deals will be inked by midsummer. Though there’s always a chance we could end the year without much progress and perhaps even stiffer tariffs. Global X Super Dividend U.S. ETF (DIV) If a 2.5-3% yield won’t cut it, perhaps the Global X Super Dividend U.S. ETF (NYSEARCA:DIV), which currently sports a 5.4% yield, may be more your cup of tea. The ETF’s strategy provides exposure to some of the highest-yielding stocks in the U.S. And while chasing yield isn’t a good idea for retirees, I do think the ETF’s methodology helps dampen the risks of dividend reductions. With a 0.45% total expense ratio, do note you’ll pay more in fees than with a comparable Vanguard income ETF. Underneath the hood, you’ll find names like Altria (NYSE:MO) and Verizon (NYSE:VZ), which boast hefty but well-covered 7% and 6% yields, respectively. While the higher yields could come at the cost of future capital gains, I must say that I’m a fan of the depressed valuations to be had in many of the DIV’s constituents. The ETF boasts a lower (0.76) beta, and while the ETF has been slumping in recent years, I do think that much of the pain is already baked in and that much of the tariff risks are relatively insulated. Unless you must have a yield of 5%, I’d stick with the VYM over the DIV. Either way, if the DIV sinks further such that the yield passes 6%, it’s tough not to think about picking up a few shares of the “super” dividend ETF if lower beta and higher income are what you’re after. The post Vanguard High Dividend VYM and Global X Super Dividend DIV Are Top ETFs to Buy In April appeared first on 24/7 Wall St..

I don’t care what anybody says. Is it risky? No. Is it riskier than it was two or three years ago? Absolutely. [00:00:26] Doug McIntyre: Because the size of the data set. I believe that next year. After social programs, the amount of interest we pay on the debt will be more than the defense budget. So it’ll be social services, interest rate payments, defense budget. That’s never been the way that it worked. I think we’re looking at a period when the Treasury is going to have to significantly increase what it offers to investors to pile into U.S. paper. [00:00:57] Lee Jackson: Yeah, and combined with the fact that they just can’t tamp out the inflation fires, if you have a combo of, that, I mean, they’re not raising rates the rest of this year. I can’t possibly see, and most of Wall Street doesn’t either because they just can’t get the inflation under control. So if you combine that issue with our, yields you know beefy enough to sell nine trillion and bonds, I don’t know about that. [00:01:26] Doug McIntyre: In theory, if they’ve got to pay something extra, basically turn all this stuff over, it’s bad for the stock market in theory, because if the, government’s writing bigger and bigger checks to get bigger and bigger checks, it means that those interest rates, At 5%, a lot of people say, move some of your stuff out of equities and get more into fixed income, right? [00:01:52] Doug McIntyre: If people think that’s a permanent increase in the curve, at least until the end of 2026, people will start to lose some interest in the stock market and look at moving it across the U S sovereign paper. [00:02:05] Lee Jackson: I think you’re correct. And people that I know and have been in the business for years and there’s a couple of pretty smart guys I know that think that at some point this year, the 10 year yield could get back to 5%. [00:02:20] Lee Jackson: And that’s exactly the yield, the percent, the Treasury Secretary’s trying to bring down because they both agree, even Trump agreed that, that Powell just cannot raise or lower rates anymore. it was probably a big mistake to do that 50 BIP opening salvo last fall. He should have just gone 25. [00:02:43] Lee Jackson: And kind of just seeing how things went because, a couple of months went by before they lowered again. And I bet he wishes he had that 25 basis points back. That’s for darn sure. [00:02:54] Doug McIntyre: Well, if you have tariffs, and you have to spend more money to get people to come into sovereign paper, you’ve now got real inflation. [00:03:02] Doug McIntyre: It’s not sort of inflation. It’s inflation inflation. And yeah, people say, well, you’re not going to go back to the eight or 9 percent from a couple of years ago. I’m saying to everybody right now. Don’t be surprised. And if you’ve got, if you’re looking at positioning your portfolio for 18 to 24 months out from today, consider the fact that there’s a reasonable chance that we could have relatively high inflation 18 months from now, between what the treasury is going to have to pay. [00:03:33] Doug McIntyre: And you don’t need tariffs on everything to get inflation. No, just have to have tariffs on a few of the wrong things and inflation starts to move up. So do I think there’s going to be 25 percent tariff on everything in the universe that comes from Canada and Mexico? No. Will there be some significant big tariffs plus retaliation plus retaliation? [00:03:59] Doug McIntyre: Does that say inflation? It says inflation all over it. [00:04:02] Lee Jackson: Yeah, it does. The thing that’s interesting and having been on wall street for a long time I mean I’ve been in this business since 1991 and you’ve probably been in since longer than I have but one thing I do know is that input items like interest rate increases and things like that. [00:04:21] Lee Jackson: It takes anywhere from 6 to 12 to 18 months to even move into the system. So the increases that were, they’re prevalent a year ago and things of that nature, maybe some of those input costs are just now starting to take effect. And like we’ve seen that in cocoa, in lumber, in coffee. So many commodity, in gold. [00:04:45] Lee Jackson: Gold is right up near 3000 and although I suspect it’s still in Fort Knox, there’s still just . Yeah, they didn’t take any of commodity increases and that’s gonna feed through the system. And then what? It’s gonna be higher, inflation’s gonna be higher [00:05:06] Doug McIntyre: Position your portfolio. Based on the fact that there’s a very good chance that 18 months from now, we’re not looking at two and a half, 3%. [00:05:16] Doug McIntyre: We could very well be looking at five or 6%. in terms of the, in terms year. [00:05:22] Lee Jackson: Well, treasury Powell doesn’t move rates up, you know who will the bond vigilantes will move rates up. They’ll just come in and they’ll be net sellers until they get rates where they want it to be. So it’s no I mean, this is where people are mistaken, I mean, the federal only they don’t control the 10 20 year bond, but bondage they come in and bring that, it’s, gonna be ugly. Try to position you I think are exactly right, Doug try to position yourself for inflation down the road and even Merrill Lynch is talking about stagflation. And most of our viewers may not be old enough to remember stagflation in the 70s, but that’s where you get consistent and persistent inflation in a stagnant economy. And if we run into that, like say later on this year, that is not going to be good. [00:06:17] Lee Jackson: So think about inflation resistant stocks. Consumer stocks, real estate investment trusts, things of that nature, in does, some in value stocks typically are inflation resistant. So yeah, think about that because I think you’re right, Doug. I think you can call it pretty good. If not by the summertime, certainly by fall. [00:06:42] Doug McIntyre: I’m going to be long Altria and long chicken eggs. I’m long, those two things. tobacco is going to be great. [00:06:51] Lee Jackson: They have a sign of apologies about it. [00:06:54] Doug McIntyre: Altria, this may have changed, but Altria had the highest yield in the S&P 500 (VOO). Right. It’s a cash cow, and if there’s a bad economy, people are gonna keep smoking. [00:07:07] Lee Jackson: it’s, the perfect stock because between, all the cigs and the vaping and all the other stuff, and their big chunk of an Anheuser-Busch InBev (NYSE: BUD) is the perfect stock, especially yielding seven and a half, seven and three quarters, wherever it is now. I mean, it’s had a good year. Because the yield this time last year was way above 8%. [00:07:27] Lee Jackson: So people, you’ve been right on this for like a year and you’re still right. Long Altria, long chicken eggs. Okay, I got it. Noted.

Zacks Industry Outlook Philip Morris, Altria and British American Tobacco
- For Immediate Release Chicago, IL – May 20, 2024 – Today, Zacks Equity Research Philip Morris International Inc., Altria Group, Inc. and British American Tobacco p.l.c. The Zacks Tobacco industry players have been witnessing soft cigarette sales volumes due to inflation, changing consumer habits, and stringent regulations. Increased costs of essential materials further raise concerns for profit margins. While investments in smoke-free products come at the cost of margins, they have been driving revenues of tobacco companies, given consumers' growing health consciousness. Pricing power has also been working well. These upsides keep About the Industry The Zacks Tobacco industry includes companies that manufacture and sell cigarettes as well as tobacco and nicotine-based products, such as cigars, snuffs and oral tobacco. Some companies also offer RRPs, such as e-cigarettes, vaping and heat-not-burn variants. A few of the firms are engaged in making devices and attachments needed in vaping and heat-not-burn products. Most products manufactured by the tobacco industry participants fall under the strict vigilance of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ("FDA") and are required to follow the permissible levels of nicotine in manufacturing. Players in this space sell products mostly through large retailers, distributors, convenience stores, drugstores, wholesalers and grocery chains. Additionally, some international tobacco firms operate in the country through subsidiaries. 4 Trends Shaping the Future of the Tobacco Industry The tobacco industry is grappling with challenges related to the inflationary environment, which has significantly influenced consumer spending habits. Economic factors such as inflation, increased interest rates, and Adult Tobacco Consumers' dynamics, including changing purchasing patterns, the adoption of smoke-free products, and shifts in disposable income, have affected cigarette sales volumes. Additionally, stringent government regulations on sales, marketing, and manufacturing, prompted by the health hazards of nicotine consumption, have further impacted volumes. Some guidelines issued by the FDA include the mandatory use of precautionary labels on cigarette packets and self-critical advertisements. As cigarette sales constitute a significant portion of revenues for tobacco industry companies, the decrease in sales volumes within this category raises concerns. Numerous industry participants have been affected by cost inflation. Global inflationary challenges linked to essential materials such as tobacco leaf, energy and labor costs have been concerns. Elevated expenses related to the research, development and marketplace activities of smoke-free products further present risks to profit margins. Increasing awareness of health risks and stringent government regulations intended to curtail cigarette smoking have encouraged many consumers to switch to reduced-risk products (RRPs) or smoke-free alternatives. Promoted as having a less adverse impact on health due to their scientific composition and method of consumption, these products are gaining popularity. More consumers are turning to these alternatives as a way to quit smoking traditional cigarettes. Major players in the tobacco industry have been allocating resources to expand their presence in this category, including investing in innovations to make these products more user-friendly and energy-efficient. Companies have been experiencing significant revenue growth in the RRP or smoke-free product space. Philip Morris and British American Tobacco have been proactively working toward transitioning into predominantly smoke-free companies in the coming years. The continued popularity and resilience of these products are expected to drive positive outcomes for industry players amid ongoing business transformations. Players in the tobacco industry have been leveraging the strong pricing influence of tobacco products, which also helps them make up for high taxes and soft cigarette sales volumes. Since smokers tend to be less responsive to price hikes due to their addiction, this approach is anticipated to continue benefiting companies within the tobacco sector. The prudent pricing of cigarettes has been supporting the revenues of players in the tobacco industry in the face of declining volumes. Zacks Industry Rank Indicates Dull Prospects The Zacks Tobacco industry is housed within the broader Zacks Consumer Staples sector. The industry currently carries a Zacks Industry Rank #174, which places it in the bottom 30% of more than 250 Zacks industries. The group's Zacks Industry Rank, which is basically the average of the Zacks Rank of all the member stocks, indicates drab near-term prospects. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1. The industry's position in the bottom 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries is a result of a positive earnings outlook for the constituent companies in aggregate. Looking at the aggregate earnings estimate revisions, it appears that analysts are gradually losing confidence in this group's earnings growth potential. Since the beginning of February 2024, the industry's earnings estimate for 2024 has declined 2.2%. Let's take a look at the industry's performance and current valuation. Industry vs. Broader Market The Zacks Tobacco industry has underperformed the Zacks S&P 500 Composite, while outperforming the broader Zacks Consumer Staple sector over the past year. The industry has gained 4.1% over this period against the broader sector's drop of 5.3%. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 has risen 27.7% in the said time frame. Industry's Current Valuation On the basis of forward 12-month price-to-earnings (P/E), which is commonly used for valuing consumer staple stocks, the industry is currently trading at 10.24X compared with the S&P 500's 21.21X and the sector's 17.34X. Over the past five years, the industry has traded as high as 12.68X, as low as 9.1X and at the median of 10.67X. 3 Tobacco Stocks to Keep a Close Eye On The Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) company's emphasis on smoke-free products, aligned with evolving consumer preferences, has strengthened its market position. Philip Morris is progressing toward its objective of becoming a predominantly smoke-free company by 2030. The exceptional performance of its premium smoke-free brands, IQOS and ZYN, is driving the success of its smoke-free product portfolio. Additionally, this tobacco giant has been positively impacted by its strong pricing strategies. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for PM's 2024 earnings per share The Zacks Rank #3 company has demonstrated resilience in a challenging environment by leveraging its pricing power and prioritizing smoke-free alternatives. Altria's investment in on! has been particularly effective in the oral tobacco realm. Additionally, the acquisition of NJOY Holdings represents a major advancement in the e-vapor category. Some of MO's 2028 Enterprise Goals include doubling its U.S. smoke-free net revenues to $5 billion from its 2022 level and driving mid-single-digit adjusted EPS growth through 2028 on a compounded annual basis. Altria shares have rallied 12.5% in the past six months. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for MO's 2024 EPS has risen by 2 cents to $5.11 over the past 30 days. BTI's strategic focus on growth, innovation, and market leadership in the evolving tobacco and nicotine product landscape has been working well. The company has been benefiting from its efforts to strengthen the Heated Products portfolio with innovative launches like glo Hyper pro and expanding tobacco-free consumables. Additionally, the Zacks Rank #3 company has been enhancing its innovation pipeline by strengthening R&D capabilities, adding device engineering, and forming a collaborative global network. That said, British American Tobacco's efforts to return the U.S. combustibles business to consistent value growth bode well. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for British American Tobacco's 2024 bottom line has declined 0.4% to $4.68 over the past 30 days. Shares of BTI have lost 0.5% in the past six months.

- Without rehashing the wild ride we experienced in the market the last couple of months with triple digit gains and losses, I could find comfort in one thing, my dividends.

8% Yielding Dividend Aristocrat Bargains You Don't Want To Miss
- Even legendary dividend aristocrats can fail, with General Electric and V.F. Corporation being key examples. General Electric investors are down 65% from 2000's highs, and V.F. Corp. investors are 82% underwater. Short-term price is vanity, cash flow is sanity, and dividends are reality. 50 years of historical data is clear: if the dividend is cut, it's time to sell and move on. UGI Corporation is a utility conglomerate that hasn't cut its dividend in 138 years. But its cut risk is rising due to struggles at AmeriGas, which is 40% of sales.
