The 5 Best Monthly Dividend Stocks to Hide In


While most income-based stocks pay shareholders quarterly, some of the best pay out each month



There’s no denying the obvious. Financial markets across the globe are unstable since the novel coronavirus hit. Fortunately, when markets wobble, investors have a simple solution to steady their portfolios by buying the best monthly dividend stocks. Few equities, if any, provide the rock-steady stability (while paying you on a month-to-month basis just to own them, no less) than the following companies.

Monthly dividend-payers dole out income in the form of dividends (or distributions) each month, as opposed to each quarter.

This group of stocks looks particularly attractive on the heels of rising coronavirus concerns and escalating market turmoil. Most of these monthly dividend stocks are based in North America, with limited international presence. These stocks should be relatively isolated from coronavirus risks for the time being.




Because their financials must support a monthly dividend payment, the companies in this space are stable by nature — their operations are steady, their fundamentals are positioned for the long term, and their cash flows are consistent. Such stability should be highly attractive to investors amid recent market instability.

At the same time, these stocks pay investors big yields. That’s worth a lot today. Fixed income yields are plunging to record lows, to the point where buying a bond won’t give you much real return these days.
