Adding Pioneer Natural Resources to my Dividend Portfolio on 11% annual yield
Wednesday, February 22, Pioneer Natural Resources (PXD) reported better-than-expected adjusted earnings for the fourth quarter of 2022 while revenues came up short of Wall Street estimates. Revenue was still up 18% year-over-year to $5.1 billion. Fourth quarter net...

AT&T announces dividend cut after asset spinoff–investors aren’t amused
Owners of AT&T (T) have been willing to overlook the company’s lack of growth, its “amusing” strategic plan, and its wandering goals because, hey, the shares paid 6.45%. That’s a dividend to make up for a multitude of corporate sins when...

Buying Dow tomorrow in my Dividend Portfolio, Pick #8 in my Special Report on Dividend Stocks on JubakAM.com
Dow (DOW) certainly fits the dividend template that I’ve explained in my Special Report: “10 Dividend Stocks that are beating the risky rockets” on my subscription site JubakAM.com. The stock yields 5.26% after a 0.20% gain today December 9. That...
Adding Citigroup to my Dividend Portfolio as 7th pick in my JubakAM.com Dividend Stocks Special Report
Let’s follow the template from Omnicom, my previous dividend pick, okay? The dividend yield on Citigroup is 3.48% against the five-year average yield of 1.96%. The current price-to-earnings ratio is 10.03 versus the five-year average of 10.17. The current price...
Buying Omnicom, the first of my post-vaccine dividend picks in my JubakAM.com Special Report, for my Jubak Picks Portfolio today
I started my research on this dividend indicator by comparing the current yield with the historical yield on the stock. For example, as I’ve noted in my Special Report Omnicom Group (OMC) currently pays a forward yield of 4.00% on its closing price of $64.99 on...
Eversource is my fifth utility pick in my Special Report on dividend stocks (on my JubakAM.com subscription site)–I added it to my Jubak Picks portfolio on Monday
Eversource Energy (ES) pays a 2.65% dividend but I’m adding it on Monday, December 7, not to my Dividend Portfolio but to my Jubak Picks list. Why’s that? Because of the high potential for capital gains–above the dividend payout–from this stock...
Adding Duke Energy to my Dividend Portfolio
On the night of November 18, I made Duke Energy (DUK) my second pick in my Special Report: “Dividend Stocks that are beating the Risky Rockets” on my JubakAM.com subscription site. On November 19, I added these shares to my Dividend Portfolio. Duke Energy...
Pipeline OKS to be one of first beneficiaries as OPEC’s production cuts raise oil output from U.S. shales
Update January 11, 2017. Tracing this chain of cause and effect is pretty simple: OPEC cuts oil production to raise oil prices; U.S. shale producers with low costs increase drilling and output (by a forecast 250,000 barrels a day in 2017); U.S. pipeline MLPs (master...
Adding Coach to my dividend portfolio; keeping it in long-term 50 Stocks list
And to think that in 2015 I was thinking of dropping Coach (COH) from my long-term Jubak 50 Stocks portfolio. In mid-2015 the stock was languishing at $28.48 (September 25, 2015) and seemed to be floundering with stagnant sales, falling margins, and a loss of pizzazz...
Why AT&T’s bid for Time Warner, even if not smart in itself, raises odds that Verizon will buy Yahoo
On Monday, October 24, Â the U.S. stock market expressed its doubts that the AT&T (T) bid for Time Warner would go through/should go through. But despite those doubts I think the mere fact of the bid increases the likelihood that Verizon (VZ) will buy Yahoo (YHOO)...
Exxon Mobil (XOM)
Normally I look for dividend yields above 4% or 5% for my dividend income portfolio. On this measure, Exxon Mobil (XOM) with its 3.35% yield isn’t exactly an astounding opportunity. But something out of a recent report from Goldman Sachs caught my eye: Exxon Mobile...And thoughts of bank dividends danced in their heads
One more test, and, if you pass, you can start paying dividends. That’s what the Federal Reserve told the 19 big banks that were the subject of the original stress test during the financial crisis. Financial statements and capital plans for the new test are due by...Want a stock rocket? Try a high dividend telephone stock. Really. I'm not kidding.
The Federal Reserve—with a big helping hand from the global financial crisis and the central banks of much of the rest of the developed world—has turned income investing upside down. The Fed’s near 0% short-term interest rate target has sent short-term yields for...Sell American Electric Power (AEP)
There’s certainly something very attractive about a utility stock that pays a 4.6% dividend yield when the 10-year U.S. Treasury is paying just 2.8%. But investors in American Electric Power (AEP) need to realize that if the U.S. economy is speeding up rather than...Buy Intel (INTC)
Shares of Intel (INTC) have been hammered on news showing that PC sales to consumers have been soft in the current back to school quarter. I think that sell off ignores the company’s strengths in other markets, such as servers, that show no signs of slowing growth,...Asian stocks beat U.S. equities on dividends? Who knew?
High dividend yields are showing up in some unexpected places. Like Asia. If you think anything like I did just a scant few months ago, you wouldn’t dream of looking to Asian stocks for high dividend yields. Most likely, you think of them like I did, as resembling the...Buy Navios Maritime Partners (NMM)
With the global economy in solid recovery mode—for example, the U.S. economy will grow at a 2.4% rate in the first quarter of 2010 and at a 2.3% rate in the second quarter (not great but a long way from recession) according to the OECD (Organization for Economic...Sell Sysco (SYY)
I’m selling Sysco (SYY) out of my Dividend Income Portfolio with this post. The stock made a new 52-week high yesterday, April 6. That brings the dividend yield down to 3.38%. That was attractive when the economy recovery still seemed iffy and I was willing to trade...Update Sysco (SYY)
On February 1 Sysco (SYY) reported earnings of 45 cents a share for the company’s fiscal second quarter. That was 3 cents a share above Wall Street projections. Revenue for the three months that ended in December 2009 was $8.87 billion, roughly matching analyst...Update Verizon (VZ)
When Verizon (VZ) reported fourth quarter earnings on January 26, everything was in line. There were no real surprises. And that was disappointing to investors who were looking for signs that a rising economy was lifting margins in Verizon’s legacy landline business...Sell Suburban Propane (SPH)
I’ve got to sell something out of the Dividend Income portfolio today to make room for my buy of Telkom Indonesia. After Suburban Propane (SPH) announced a 34 cent a share earnings miss on February 4 the choice is pretty easy. Revenues, which fell 17% from the...Buy Telkom Indonesia (TLK)
Telkom Indonesia (TLK), or Telekomunikasi Indonesia, is a complicated machine with all the parts, I think, moving together in the right direction. Let me explain. First, there’s the growth in Indonesia’s economy, which is forecast to show a 5.2% increase in GDP in...When elephants fly–dividends from emerging market stocks
When emerging stock markets hand you lemons, make lemonade. Specifically dividend-paying lemonade. So far 2010 hasn’t exactly been kind to emerging market stocks. The ETF (exchange traded fund) that tracks the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index (EEM) was down 6.4%...Update du Pont (DD)
On January 26 E.I. du Pont de Nemours (DD), known as du Pont to its friends, announced fourth quarter earnings of 44 cents a share, beating Wall Street projections by 3 cents a share. Revenues climbed 10.3% year to year to $6.42 billion. Wall Street analysts had been...Sell Enbridge Energy Partners (EEP)
I’m going to continue to diversify my Dividend Income Portfolio by selling Enbridge Energy Partners (EEP.) It’s one of three pipeline master limited partnerships in the portfolio. The sale of this position plus the sale of Natural Resource Partners (NRP) earlier...Buy Sysco (SYY)
I‘m adding Sysco (SYY) to the Jubak Dividend Income Portfolio with this post. The yield isn’t terribly exciting, I’m admit, at 3.5% but it is still a bit better than you can get on a 10-year Treasury note right now. And I think the total return—that’s dividends plus...Sell Natural Resource Partners (NRP)
I’m going to move to reduce the exposure of my Dividend Income Portfolio (https://jubakpicks.com/jubak-dividend-income-portfolio/ ) to the natural resources sector by selling coal-mining master limited partnership Natural Resource Partners (NRP) out of the portfolio....Jim’s Daily Email Alerts:
