| How should we define "best monthly dividend paying stocks?"
What attributes would make a particular monthly dividend paying stock one of the "best" available? Here are a few ideas:
(1) Dividend Aristocrats — a long history of increasing the dividend rate each year, and never any dividend cuts;
(2) Priority Status — preferred shares and exchange traded debt securities have a priority, to be paid before the underlying
common stock. (3) Steady Dividend — looking back five years, has the monthly rate ever been lowered, or has it remained steady
(or growing)? (4) Growing Dividend — looking back five years, has the dividend rate actually grown? (5) Yield — which
monthly dividend paying stocks offer the highest yield?
Here at MonthlyDividendPayingStocks.com, and our parent website DividendChannel.com, we aim to give you the research tools to answer all of the above questions, thus helping you zero in on the very best monthly dividend paying stocks to research further as potential investments. Let's start with a mix of #1 and #2 above: on this page, we are showing you "priority status" securities (preferred stock or traded debt) that have been ranked with a CDx3 Compliance Score [subscribers can click to learn the score] (CDx3 is the system first introduced by Doug K. Le Du in his book Preferred Stock Investing), and we're also showing you two common stocks that are arguably the "Aristocrats" of their sectors based on their monthly dividend history (these being Realty Income which is a Real Estate Investment Trust (also see: other monthly dividend paying REIT stocks, and Main Street Capital which is a Business Development Company or "BDC" for short (learn more about BDCs at our sister site BDCInvestor.com. Then, we invite you to research these other pages to explore some of the other attibutes discussed above, that might help define which are the "best" monthly dividend paying stocks: • Steady Monthly Dividend Paying Stocks (dividend rate has not gone down over five years) • Growing Monthly Dividend Paying Stocks (dividend rate has actually increased from five years ago) • High Yield Monthly Dividend Paying Stocks (recent dividend rate as a percentage of recent stock price is high) |
