I’m slowly building up on Paypoint, M&g, Investec and Ninety One.
SAIN has good performance and reliable dividends
Vodafone 6.6%
Diversified Energy (DEC.L) is based in Birmingham, Alabama, US but is listed on the London Stock Exchange. Pays about 10+% dividend but doesn’t come without risk.
National Grid
Evraz Steel
Paid a dividend through WW2 and every year since.
Vodafone is a good dividend payer but the stock has been a little volatile and they do carry a lot of debt.
I hold
Coke
JnJ
Honeywell
Microsoft
Safestore
Hershey
Unilever
Edit- I also own IDEXX, I am also going to add a couple more individual stocks( waste management and possibly Diageo) but my limit is 10 as finding the time to check 10 annual reports yearly is time consuming, therefore the rest of my equity holdings are in few commodities and all world etf and REITs.
@Robo Which REITs would you recommend having a look at or which are you watching?
@bhav So currently I don’t hold a REIT etf, I hold Safestore PLC to exposure to property and storage, and I also own Realty Income as they are pretty much etf REIT of there own.
With commission-free trading and fractional shares, you can create your own ‘dividends’. You can invest in the companies with the best growth and sell a percentage or amount every quarter in order to get the steady income and potentially get a better return than just being limited to dividend paying stocks.
This looks like a good one to have on the platform if anyone fancies voting?
I have £BP -bp £GLO -contour global
I do have some American ones if interested?
And like @NeilB said I requested the stock £DEA pays monthly and seems stable cause it’s government backed/assured
So if so kind to vote for that request for latter aswell please
I’ve got ContourGlobal, it’s a nearly 7% dividend.
I think it’s actually more @Emmie and seems relatively very safe and sound it’s out paying the loss for sure
Taylor wimpey has a good dividend but all depending on cost of living and inflation and very cheap stock
How does it seem safe and sound?
Contourglobal’s dividend cover is only 0.67 (according to HL).
A dividend cover of 2 or more is generally considered healthy/safe, below 1.5 perhaps a concern that the dividend might be cut in the future as it is not sustainable [Dividend Cover is a popular measure of dividend safety. It is calculated as earnings per share divided by the dividend per share. It provides a quick fix on how many times the dividend is ‘covered’ by earnings].
That’s not to say that GLO won’t be able to pay its dividends in the future, this is just an indicator you might want to consider when doing your research for picking individual dividend stocks.
In comparison, Taylor Wimpey has a dividend cover of 2.10, so higher chance of them continuing to pay a high dividend.
But of course, people choose their shares using different criteria, there’s no right or wrong.
Part of my decision with GLO is the whole energy situation at they moment, they are 50% fossil fuels and 50% renewables. They also own a large amount of power plants throughout the world so I’m hoping for big things from them over the coming years. Just my opinion though and as you say it’s everyone’s own opinion with these things. What’s right for one person is not right for the next.
