Higher-yielding stocks are inexpensive, too. A basket of such names tracked by Wolfe Research trades at about a 40% discount to the broader market. Senyek, however, prefers companies in the second-highest quintile, or top 20%, as a way to avoid dividend traps with very big yields. Companies in that second quintile include Northern Trust, which yields 2.4%, and FedEx, at 2.1%.
Senyek’s favorite long-term dividend-investing strategy over a full economic cycle is to buy companies with high dividend growth and high cash-flow yields. “That’s a small list of companies because they have the ability to keep increasing the dividend at a faster pace than many other companies,” he says. They include Qualcomm, which yields 2%, and Pitney Bowes, 3.7%.
