Dividend investing has been very rewarding for me. However, I have learned a lot of lessons the hard way. I share some of the most important lessons I have learned in this article.
US equity markets tumbled this week while benchmark interest rates surged to the cusp of multi-decade highs after a critical slate of employment data showed surprisingly buoyant labor market trends. Prompting a hawkish re-think of Fed policy expectations, inflation worries were further inflamed by surging energy prices amid frigid temperatures across the Central and East, while L.A. battled destructive wildfires. Real estate equities - the most rate-sensitive sector - were significant laggards this week as rate cut expectations soured, with REITs extending their year-end slide into early 2025.
Reliable monthly dividends are a game-changer for income investors, providing steady cash flow and financial peace of mind in any market. I share three top-notch monthly dividend payers that offer consistency, growth potential, and the reliability every income-focused portfolio needs. These stocks exemplify stability, rewarding shareholders with dependable payouts you can count on for years, no matter your financial goals.
A few months ago, Agree Realty upped its monthly dividend per share. The REIT delivered in the third quarter and looks positioned to keep generating solid AFFO per share growth. Agree Realty's credit rating was recently upgraded to BBB+ on a stable outlook by S&P.
Traditional dividend valuation methods may not apply to all asset classes. Business Development Companies like Blue Owl Capital offer high yields through diverse debt investments, benefiting from higher interest rates and defensive portfolio structures. REITs, despite current underperformance, present opportunities for high yields and potential capital appreciation, especially with future interest rate cuts.
REITs are offering a once-in-a-decade opportunity. They are heavily discounted and some enjoy strong catalysts in 2025. This could lead to significant upside. Here are some of my top picks.
The REIT market has something for everyone. There are income, growth, and deep value opportunities. But a few REITs have it all. We highlight 2 such REITs to own in 2025.
The S&P 500 dipped last week after the Federal Reserve said it's planning to slow the pace of its interest rate cuts in 2025. However, the index is still up 24% as we head toward the end of the year.
Real estate investment trusts (REITs) have been out of favor on Wall Street for the past couple of thanks to interest rate volatility. That's understandable since higher rates increase financing costs for REITs.
Not all REITs are equal. The asset quality can differ greatly from one REIT to another. I highlight a good example of that.
ADC offers three investment options: common shares, preferred shares, and bonds, each with varying yields and risk profiles. We compare these three opportunities amidst the backdrop of a rising ten year treasury rate. ADC's business remains strong, but a sector leading valuation should make investors ask whether the common shares are the best opportunity.
