3 Dividend Studs That Pay Rivers of Cash
If you’re looking for high and consistent investment income, dividend stocks are the way to go. Sure, bond interest is safer, but dividend stocks have far higher yields than most bonds. These days, treasuries yield less than 2%, and corporate bonds rarely go over 4%. Meanwhile, there are dividend stocks out there yielding well over 7%. In this article, I’ll explore three such dividend stocks that pay rivers of cash.
Enbridge Enbridge (TSX:ENB)(NYSE:ENB) is a stock that will be familiar to many Canadian high-yield investors. It is well known for having a 7% yield and having maintained that yield for a long time. Today, it’s just a fraction under 7%, but still, it’s one of the highest-yielding large-cap stocks you can find.
Why does Enbridge have such a high yield?
It’s pretty simple. The company keeps raising the payout while the stock doesn’t move much. ENB’s capital gain is very slightly negative over five years, while the dividend has grown by 11.7% CAGR over that period. That kind of thing tends to result in high dividend yields. Lo and behold, here we are, with Enbridge yielding almost as much as a junk bond in the 80s.
TransAlta Renewables TransAlta Renewables (TSX:RNW) is a utility company with a focus on renewable energy. It has significant investments in gas, hydro, solar, wind, and battery storage. Most of these are “green” energy sources that should thrive as climate regulations take a bite out of the energy industry.
How has TransAlta been doing as a company?
In its most recent quarter, RNW delivered the following results:
Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce Last but not least, we have Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (TSX:CM)(NYSE:CM) . CM is a bank stock that yields about 4% at today’s prices. If you invest $100,000 in CM stock, you’ll get about $4,000 back in dividends every year — assuming the dividend doesn’t change. The dividend may actually change, if historical trends hold. According to GuruFocus, CM’s five-year dividend-growth rate is 6%. That’s not exactly explosive growth, but it’s enough to push your yield-on-cost higher if historical trends persist.
In its most recent quarter, CIBC delivered strong results:
