cash EVERY SINGLE MONTH!
[13]
Even better, besides the dividends, the portfolio will continue to grow so your dividend payments
[17]
increase every year.

[42]
Dividend investing has been hugely popular here on the channel and why not?
[45]
Who doesn鈥檛 love getting those cash payments while you invest?
[49]
In fact, another video on passive income dividends was the first to really blow up here on Let鈥檚
[52]
Talk Money with more than 265,000 people learning how to make their money work for them.
[58]
But that video is more than a year old so I wanted to update it, improve it by putting
[62]
together a portfolio of dividend stocks you can use for reliable and consistent cash flow
[67]
EVERY SINGLE MONTH.
[68]
The problem with trying to pay your bills with dividends is that most stocks only pay
[72]
four times a year, once every three months.
[74]
There are some monthly dividend stocks but they leave out the best opportunities in cash
[78]
yield and return.
[80]
So to solve this problem, I put together a list of dividend stocks so that you鈥檒l collect
[83]
a solid dividend every month.
[86]
These are some great blue chip dividend stocks, the most stable dividends you can find with
[89]
high yields and a return that will grow your portfolio.
[92]
I鈥檒l take you through each stock, why I like it and how it fits with a monthly dividend
[96]
portfolio.
[97]
Make sure you watch for all seven though because it鈥檚 really that entire portfolio that鈥檚
[101]
going to create those consistent cash payments.
[103]
First I do want to reveal how I picked these stocks.
[106]
Everyone in the Let鈥檚 Talk Money community knows I鈥檓 not about just listing out a bunch
[109]
of stocks to buy.
[111]
I want to give you the tools to find your own investments, a process you can use to
[114]
be a better investor.
[116]
So I first screened for stocks with a cash yield of 3% or higher and I included a share
[120]
buyback program in the cash yield because that鈥檚 also a return of cash to shareholders.
[124]
I then filtered this list for stocks with a history of growing their dividend.
[127]
That鈥檚 hugely important and in fact, research has shown that companies increasing their
[131]
dividend outperform the rest of the market by more than 7% a year.
[136]
Then I looked for companies with a payout ratio that signaled a commitment to returning
[139]
cash to shareholders but not one so high that it limits future growth.
[143]
This is also very important and something we鈥檝e talked about on the channel.
[147]
I love a good dividend but a company paying out too much of its profits, so a high payout
[152]
ratio, is leaving itself at risk to lose market share and destroy the stock鈥檚 value.
[157]
So I want to find companies in that sweet spot where the payout ratio makes for a good
[161]
dividend yield but not so high that it destroys future value of the stock.
[165]
Finally, I looked deep into the company鈥檚 financial statements to do that fundamental
[169]
analysis.
[170]
I鈥檓 looking here for higher profitability compared to peers in the same industry, strong
[174]
cash flows and a competitive advantage that makes it a best of breed.
[178]
What I found was seven bellwether stocks, companies that are icons of their industries,
[182]
with stable dividends and a history of strong returns.
[185]
Ford and the entire automotive sector has had a tough go lately but there鈥檚 reason
[189]
to believe the worst is over and the shares pay a solid 6.3% dividend yield.
[194]
The problem with the automakers is there was such a huge rush on car sales after the recession.
[199]
With the cash for clunkers program and interest rates near zero, new car sales surged all
[204]
the way to 2015 and have just sputtered since then.
[207]
Ford management has done a decent job of cutting costs but knows it has to do more.
[211]
The company has gone from making cars on 27 platforms in 2007 to just 9 today which gives
[216]
it a lot more flexibility and efficiency.
[219]
Ford has a solid year planned for product launches including the Explorer and a new
[223]
super duty truck later.
[225]
We鈥檝e already seen some good numbers from the launch of the Ranger and sales should
[228]
be good this year.
[230]
On that industry weakness, Ford hasn鈥檛 increased its dividend since 2015 but it鈥檚 got a solid
[234]
history of making the cash payment.
[237]
Dividends are paid in January, April, July and October.
[240]
The payout ratio of 78% is a little high but still leaves some room for growth.
[245]
Earnings are expected 3.8% higher over the next four quarters to $1.35 per share which
[250]
puts the shares at an extremely attractive 7.4-times price-to-earnings.
[254]
There鈥檚 a good chance Ford could surprise to the upside.
[258]
Earnings before interest and taxes, so that EBIT measure, jumped in the first quarter
[261]
to $2.4 billion from just $1.5 billion last quarter.
[265]
A lot of this was on a big move in profitability from just 3.5% EBIT margin to 6.1% which is
[271]
a huge move in one quarter.
[273]
Of all the dividend stocks I cover, Realty Income, ticker O, is probably the most popular
[277]
on its monthly payment and 3.9% yield.
[281]
The real estate company is the largest triple-net REIT in the U.S. with nearly 6,000 properties
[286]
in 49 states and Puerto Rico.
[288]
Most of the portfolio is in retail space which I don鈥檛 love considering the evolution into
[292]
ecommerce but occupancy for Realty Income has never been below 96% in 23 years of business
[299]
so these are high-quality properties.
[301]
The company has made 86 consecutive quarterly increases, growing the dividend by 4.6% a
[306]
year on average.
[307]
Funds from operations have grown at a 5% annual pace with only one quarter of falling FFO,
[312]
which is pretty amazing when you consider what the rest of the REITs did during the
[316]
three years through 2010.
[318]
There are a few keys to the company鈥檚 outperformance and some things I鈥檓 watching for that to
[322]
continue.
[323]
The company runs on a sale-leaseback strategy, so it will buy commercial properties owned
[326]
by companies and then rent the property back to them.
[330]
So we鈥檙e talking huge retail companies like Walgreens and Walmart.
[333]
The company also runs a triple-net model where the tenant pays all property expenses so Realty
[339]
Income basically just collects rent checks and passes profits on to investors.
[343]
The company has almost zero exposure outside the U.S. but it鈥檚 making a move on the European
[347]
commercial property market.
[349]
Whereas real estate firms own much of the market here in the U.S., in Europe most of
[353]
the market is still privately owned so there鈥檚 a big opportunity here for a management firm
[357]
to consolidate.
[359]
Realty Income signed a $557 million deal recently to buy 12 properties from Sainsbury in the
[365]
U.K. and lease the property back on 15-year terms.
[369]
Rent growth jumped 1.5% in the first quarter versus an average of about 1% a year so I
[374]
think there鈥檚 a good chance cash flow surprises on the upside this year.
[378]
The company put this graph out in its first quarter presentation to show how the shares
[382]
have done on a total return and volatility basis and I think it鈥檚 a great chart with
[386]
a lot to say.
[387]
First is that you see Realty Income has produced a very strong annual return, over 15% a year
[392]
for those 23 years, but that it鈥檚 also done it with less violent ups and downs in the
[397]
price.
[398]
The graph is also an interesting look at how sectors and other stocks have performed over
[402]
the period.
[404]
So we see that some other solid dividend names like Johnson & Johnson, Verizon and Proctor
[408]
& Gamble have produced decent annual returns with that low volatility.
[412]
These are your traditional safety stocks in consumer staples and telecom.
[417]
On the other side here, you see some of the popular tech names have been riskier, so more
[421]
volatility, but have produced higher returns.
[423]
It would be hard to make a dividend portfolio that didn鈥檛 include Coca-Cola, ticker KO,
[428]
with its 3.2% dividend yield and 55 years of dividend increases.
[433]
Coca-Cola pays it鈥檚 dividend in March, June, September and December and has made that payment
[437]
every quarter since 1920.
[439]
Besides the dividend payment, Coke also has a share buyback program that returns a net
[443]
$1.5 billion to investors for another 0.7% cash yield.
[447]
Coca-Cola is #1 in 32 of the top 40 markets in over 75 beverage categories.
[452]
It鈥檚 diversified across juice, dairy, water, tea and coffee besides soft drinks.
[457]
The company sells over 1.9 billion drinks a day in 200-plus countries.
[463]
So scale and distribution is really the story and the advantage here.
[467]
The company has the brand and reach to create efficiencies that other company鈥檚 just can鈥檛
[471]
touch.
[472]
Coca-Cola has been transitioning to an asset-light model over the last three years, selling off
[476]
its bottling factories through franchise agreements.
[479]
This has really driven flexibility with new products accounting for 17% of volume last
[483]
year versus just 9% in 2015, so that product pipeline is extremely healthy.
[489]
As a result of the cost cutting, operating profitability jumped to 30.8% last year from
[495]
26.9% in 2017 and management鈥檚 expecting a further $600 million in savings this year.
[501]
Earnings are only expected 1.4% higher over the next year to $2.13 a share but management
[506]
has a history of beating expectations so odds are this number will be higher.
[510]
This next dividend stock in our portfolio is actually a fund, the Vanguard Dividend
[514]
Appreciation ETF, ticker VIG, with a 1.9% yield.
[519]
Now that yield isn鈥檛 much but I love adding this one for its total return.
[523]
You can see it follows the market pretty closely but it鈥檚 outperformed by 5% over the last
[527]
year and has produced a 14.4% annual return over the last decade.
[532]
That price return is going to help grow your portfolio even as you鈥檙e taking the dividends
[536]
out.
[537]
The fund pays in March, June, September and December and is a great addition to the portfolio
[541]
for diversification.
[542]
If you just had 7 stocks, that鈥檚 14% of your money in each.
[546]
Trouble at one company could destroy your portfolio.
[549]
The Vanguard fund holds shares of 183 companies, diversified across all nine sectors of the
[553]
economy.
[554]
That goes a long way to spread your risk around and you鈥檝e still got that growth upside.
[559]
We鈥檝e got three more to put in our dividend stock portfolio but I want to get your opinion
[562]
on this.
[563]
What鈥檚 your favorite dividend stock and why do you think it should be part of the
[566]
portfolio?
[567]
Scroll down and let us know in the comments below.
[570]
Verizon, ticker VZ, is the country鈥檚 largest wireless carrier with 40% of the U.S. market
[574]
and pays a 4.4% dividend yield.
[577]
The telecom giant pays dividends in January, April, July and October with 12 consecutive
[582]
years of increasing payments.
[583]
The payout ratio is 61% of earnings but that鈥檚 typical for the industry.
[588]
Earnings are expected just 0.6% higher over the next year to $4.74 per share, which sets
[593]
it around 12-times on a price-to-earnings ratio.
[596]
There are a lot of reasons to like this company though and I don鈥檛 think the market has
[599]
priced in some upside.
[601]
Verizon is leading in 5G tech developments with the world鈥檚 first 5G ultra-wide network
[605]
and two smartphones capable on the network.
[608]
5G is going to revolutionize mobile over the next few years and Verizon will be there to
[612]
take advantage of it.
[613]
The company also has a lot of value in it鈥檚 new media group with the acquisition of AOL
[618]
and Yahoo.
[619]
Now it鈥檚 inked a partnership with Google to distribute YouTube TV which could be huge.
[624]
Verizon has bucked the race to the bottom price war among wireless carriers lately which
[629]
has hurt subscriber growth but I like management鈥檚 decision on this one.
[633]
They might lose a few subscribers on the lower end but I think they鈥檒l make up for it in
[637]
profitability and the share price will be rewarded by investors.
[640]
Johnson & Johnson only pays a 2.7% dividend yield but returned more than $5.8 billion
[645]
to investors through the share buyback last year for a total 4.3% cash yield.
[651]
That conservatism, committing to a little lower dividend but offering a buyback, has
[655]
helped the company increase the dividend for 57 consecutive years.
[659]
JNJ pays its dividend in February, May, August and November with about 62% of profits going
[663]
to cover the cash payment.
[667]
The company is a runaway leader in healthcare, booking $82 billion in annual sales across
[672]
pharmaceuticals, medical devices and consumer products.
[675]
Income from the pharmaceuticals segment has taken a hit lately but strength in consumer
[679]
sales has filled the gap.
[681]
JNJ has faced some uncertainty lately on the string of lawsuits around opiods and they鈥檒l
[686]
likely have to pay out a settlement.
[687]
This is mostly factored into the stock though at this point and large settlements typically
[691]
are paid out over years or decades so I don鈥檛 think the financial burden is quite as bad
[696]
as the market sees right now.
[698]
Earnings are expected 6.4% higher over the next year, which is extremely strong given
[703]
overall economic growth.
[705]
That puts the shares right around 15-times earnings so not particularly expensive and
[709]
some upside potential for higher return.
[711]
Apple is our closet dividend stock with only a 1.76% yield but a GINORMOUS cash yield through
[717]
the buyback program.
[718]
To give you an idea, Apple paid out $13.7 billion in dividends last year, a healthy
[723]
increase of 7.4% over it鈥檚 2017 dividend but still a fairly low yield.
[728]
The company paid out another $72 billion, almost 9% of the market cap, to buyback its
[733]
own shares and it still has over $66 billion in cash sitting on the balance sheet.
[738]
Generating $64 billion in free cash each year, this is a company that has plenty to keep
[743]
returning to shareholders.
[745]
Apple makes its dividend payment in February, May, August and November and has increased
[749]
the dividend every year since it started paying again in 2012.
[754]
The company is slowly moving to a services-centered business model where hardware sales are less
[758]
important and that recurring services revenue becomes a bigger share.
[762]
The entire ecosystem of Apple products from the phone, the tablet and mac to all the services
[768]
makes it a consumer giant with an advantage over any other competitor.
[771]
It basically means Apple only has to get you to buy one product or sign up anywhere in
[776]
its services and it鈥檚 a good bet you鈥檒l be picking up its other products and services.
[780]
That鈥檚 exactly the kind of thing you want to see in a company and it makes for extremely
[783]
stable cash flows.
[785]
Earnings are expected higher by only 1.1% over the next year but no company beats earnings
[790]
like Apple.
[791]
A beat of about 5% would put earnings at $12.62 a share and a price to earnings of 14-times.
[796]
So here you see the entire portfolio, all seven dividend stocks, their dividend yield
[800]
and the months you鈥檒l receive the payment.
[803]
Notice we鈥檝e got at least three payments coming every month and the portfolio yield
[807]
of 3.3% is about twice the average dividend yield on the stock market.
[811]
I know a lot of you are asking, why not just invest in the highest yielding stocks.
[815]
There are stocks that pay 12% and 15% yields.
[818]
Why not just invest in those?
[820]
I do like some of those high-yield stocks and I鈥檝e got a video on the channel ranking
[824]
my top five for double-digit dividend yields.
[826]
I鈥檒l leave a link in the video description to that one.
[829]
What I wanted to do here though is create a portfolio for maximum stability and total
[834]
returns.
[835]
These might not be the highest yields but each stock offers a double-digit upside beyond
[839]
the dividend yield.
[841]
These are stocks you can count on to provide the cash every month when you need it AS WELL
[846]
AS growing your portfolio.
[848]
To give you an example of how well this portfolio works at producing monthly income, I鈥檝e
[852]
made this table showing the monthly payment you鈥檇 receive on a $100,000 portfolio of
[857]
the seven stocks.
[858]
You鈥檙e collecting from $300 to almost $500 every month but what鈥檚 even better is you鈥檒l
[864]
see your portfolio value grow and your dividends grow over time.
[867]
So that almost $4,500 in dividends you collect will keep growing every year.
[872]
I鈥檝e got three more stocks you can add to this portfolio, three of my favorite stocks
[876]
that pay a monthly dividend.
