Which stocks have decent upcoming dividends?

Dividend time is fast approaching. Which stocks, if there are any, with decent dividends, would you consider with the highest conviction? Btw, new subscriber, impressed and happy so far ;-)

Cheers

Answer

Hi Nick,

Thanks for both very timely question and positive feedback, always a nice way to start the weekend. We’ll actually look to provide a more in depth analysis on this subject next week but for now the ones catching my eye are listed below.

1 BHP Group (BHP) – although we believe a period of consolidation is likely, it’s projected $1.60 fully franked dividend (with ex-dividend date on the 2^nd September) looks attractive, while over the next 12 months, a 7.13% yield is forecast, which looks sustainable assuming our view towards reflation proves on point.

2 New Hope Corp (NHC) – this is left field however the coal producer is forecast to yield over 5% over the next 12-months while looking a strong candidate for some capital gains into Christmas, although they do not pay a dividend until December.

3 Others we like at current levels that pay attractive / sustainable dividends: Service Stream (SSM) ~7% yield which has been a poor performer for us however this weeks announcement was good, Ive Group (IGL) ~6% yield, Metcash (MTS) ~5% yield (although no divi til December), & good old Telstra (TLS) ~4% yield which we think is worth ~$4 plus it will easily maintain its dividend.

All up, while dividends are important it’s still important to buy stocks that will do well in absolute terms, not just pay a nice dividend.

The Match Out: CPI dents equity rally ahead of ANZAC Day

Equities followed the US market higher this morning, also adding a little premium thanks to a handful of positive quarterly reports that were announced after the North American markets closed. That all took a back seat as inflation data printed late morning, CPI coming in hotter than expected which sent the market into a spin, falling ~0.6% at the time before finding some relief. In the end, the index closed little changed, a good result given the circumstances though largely thanks to support from the Big 4 banks.

Portfolio Positioning: Bonds fell, dragging stocks along for the ride, both are now basing in our opinion

Bond markets have struggled over recent weeks as inflation appeared increasingly “sticky,” but it hardly registers on the chart compared to their weakness through 2021/2 and mid-2023. We believe the local credit markets have come back to realistic levels as the RBA awaits further economic data to deliver clarity on the underlying strength and direction of the local economy. Traders have gone from being far too optimistic on rate cuts into Christmas to becoming almost pessimistic; the US futures markets have gone from pricing in three cuts to 1.77 cuts, or one definitely, and probably two.
