In this report, we rank our top 20 dividend stocks. The rankings include a split between opportunities with very big yields (yields of 7.0% and up) and very attractive total returns (i.e. solid dividend payments plus significant price appreciation potential). We also highlight 7 dividend market themes that are critically important in the current environment (including: (1) BDCs > Banks, (2) Midstream Stocks > MLPs, (3) A Bird in Hand > Two in the Bush, (4) Falling Rates > Rising Rates, (5) Bond CEFs > Bonds, (6) Contrarian Income > Herd Income, and (7) Value vs Growth). Without further ado, let’s get into the themes and the rankings (starting with #20 and counting down to our top ideas).
