List of companies with monthly dividends
Monthly dividend stocks provide consistent income streams, featuring companies that distribute payouts twelve times annually rather than quarterly. These equities are primarily traded on exchanges like NYSE and NASDAQ, offering investors predictable cash flow for budgeting needs. Despite sector-specific risks, the monthly dividend segment, characterized by frequent distributions, appeals particularly to retirees and income-focused portfolios.
The market for monthly dividends is not dominated by traditional blue-chips; it’s led by specialized entities with structured payout models. The main advantages include:
- Cash flow consistency: Regular payments aligning with monthly expenses and compounding opportunities.
- Reinvestment efficiency: Faster dividend compounding through more frequent share accumulation.
- Sector specialization: Heavy concentration in REITs, BDCs, and energy midstream companies with stable revenue models.
The real estate giant Realty Income (O) and business lender Main Street Capital (MAIN) exemplify this category – Realty Income has paid 640 consecutive monthly dividends since 1994, while Main Street Capital has delivered monthly distributions for 15+ years. Their operational structures generate consistent cash flows supporting frequent payouts. Investing in monthly dividend stocks provides income regularity unmatched by quarterly payers.
Many monthly dividend payers maintain high distribution yields. AGNC Investment Corp delivers 15%+ annual yields paid monthly, while EPR Properties offers 7-8% yields from entertainment and recreation properties. This explains why monthly payers represent 35% of all U.S. dividend stocks. Beyond REITs, the category includes 3 monthly-payment sectors: energy infrastructure (Enbridge with 7.5% yield), BDCs (Gladstone Capital with 9% yield), and utilities (Pembina Pipeline with 5.4% yield).
