| Top Monthly Dividend Paying Stocks |
| What attributes make a given monthly dividend paying stock one of the top monthly dividend paying stocks?
We have several ideas in answer to this question:
(1) Dividend Growth — a consistent history of increasing the dividend rate, and at the very least no dividend cuts, over a multi-year look-back period;
(2) Priority Dividend Payment Status — by virtue of their structures, preferred stock and exchange traded debt securities have a priority, i.e. they are
in line ahead of the common stock when it comes to being paid.
(3) Steady Dividend Rate — sometimes growth is hard to come by, but many stocks will show at least a steady dividend rate over a multi-year look-back period (i.e. the dividend rate has not been shrinking);
(4) Strong Yield — even the very "top" dividend stock wouldn't be a "buy" at too-small a yield level, so it is important to consider 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 top monthly dividend paying stocks to research further as investment candidates. On this page, we'll start with a mix of #1 and #2 above: in the list that follows, we are showing you "priority status" securities (preferred stock or exchange traded debt) that have been ranked for our subscribers [become a subscriber] with a CDx3 Compliance Score number (CDx3 is the name of the preferred stock screening system first introduced by Doug K. Le Du in his book Preferred Stock Investing); and in this list we're also showing you two common stocks that are arguably the "Aristocrats" of their respective sectors based on their strong monthly dividend histories (these being Realty Income which is a Real Estate Investment Trust (also see: other monthly dividend paying REITs, and Main Street Capital which is a Business Development Company or "BDC" for short (learn more about BDCs at our sister site BDCInvestor.com. After exploring the list below, we invite you to research these additional pages to further explore some of the other attibutes discussed above, which might help define which are the "top" monthly dividend paying stocks: • Steady Monthly Dividend Paying Stocks (dividend rate has not gone down over five years) • Monthly Dividend Paying Growth Stocks (dividend rate has actually increased from five years ago) • Highest Monthly Dividend Paying Stocks By Yield (ordered by recent dividend rate as a percentage of recent stock price) |
