Top 10 Dividend Stocks To Watch Right Now


Dividend stocks are an important part of every portfolio. Those dividend payments provide a regular income that can be spent, or re-invested. Ideally, you gain through the growing value of the stock as well.

Typically, companies that pay dividends to their shareholders tend to be very stable. They are less volatile than some high-growth stocks might be (even riding out events like a global pandemic), adding balance to your portfolio.

A higher dividend yield is a good thing, and these seven dividend stocks have been picked for that very reason.

Arbor Realty Trust (NYSE:ABR) Ellington Financial (NYSE:EFC) Iron Mountain(NYSE:IRM) MFA Financial (NYSE:MFA) Oaktree Specialty Lending Corp (NASDAQ:OCSL) ONEOK (NYSE:OKE) Redwood Trust (NYSE:RWT)

While companies paying dividends are usually more reliable investments, that’s not always the case. Here’s an example of dividend stocks that should be avoided for now. But we’re not talking avoiding for this round, we’re looking at good choices. In addition to paying a dividend yield of over 4%, each of the stocks on today’s list has a solid rating in Dividend Grader, earning a “B” or higher. So you know it’s a high-quality pick.

    Let’s begin by discussing Nucor’s price appreciation this year because it’s been quite phenomenal. In 2021 alone NUE stock has increased in price from $52 to $120. That’s exceptional for any class of stock, and unheard of among the dividend class. 

  • [By ]

    This makes steelmakers like Nucor Corporation (NYSE: NUE) attractive investment opportunities.

    NUE is the largest diversified steel and steel products company in North America. The company has 25 scrap-based steel mills with annual production capacity of 27 million tons. Nucor accounts for about 26% of American steel production with almost 71% of its steel from recycled content. That makes the company attractive to sustainable investment funds who will also like the fact that NUE accounts for about 7.5% of the industry’s greenhouse gas emissions, much lower than its market share and an indicator of the company’s commitment to sustainable production.

  • [By ]

    Likewise, steel is used to reinforce just about every major construction project. Nucor (NYSE: NUE), whose product catalog includes rebar, pipes, and guard rails, will be used to support the construction of schools, water treatment plants, sewer systems, and countless other infrastructure projects.

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By ]

    Another tech company on the list, Automatic Data Processing (Nasdaq: ADP) is, like Intel, priced to perfection. And, similar to Intel, there is more and more competition in its core business of human resources and human capital management solutions — from more-traditional players like Paychex (Nasdaq: PAYX) to small-business focused TriNet (Nasdaq: TNET) to cloud-based Workday (Nasdaq: WDAY). Up nearly 26% year-to-date, consider taking some gains off the table. 

  • [By ]

    Paychex (Nasdaq: PAYX) handles the payroll for 650,000 clients, mostly small businesses with 10 to 50 employees — the economy’s growth engine.

    These payroll customers generally pay a flat service fee, as well as an additional fee for each worker enrolled. Thus, Paychex likes to see businesses hiring new employees. And after a soft February report, the labor market is roaring once again.
