Dividend investing has always been popular, and for good reason. Dividend stocks offer a wide range of advantages for return-minded investors, but two of the most significant are a reliable income stream and an inflation-beating yield. Taken together, these advantages can form the base of a truly sound portfolio.
The majority of dividend stocks pay out on a quarterly basis, but turning towards those with a monthly payment schedule allows investors to better plan their income streams to meet their needs. When it comes to yields, they are still calculated based on the annualized rate of the dividend, so even a small monthly payment, multiplied by 12, can result in a high annual yield.
But not all dividend stocks are created equal, and some offer better opportunities than others. This is where Wall Street’s analysts come into play.
Diving into the TipRanks database, we have homed in on two monthly-payment dividend stocks that not only boast a market-beating dividend yield of at least 13% but also qualify as ‘Strong Buys’ according to the analyst consensus. Let’s take a closer look.
