Each offers a different approach to dividend income.
1. Mondelez International (MDLZ)
Mondelez raised its quarterly dividend from $0.50 to $0.52 per share, an increase of 4%.
With its portfolio of major consumer brands, MDLZ remains one of the more traditional dividend growth stocks on this list. For long-term investors, consistent dividend increases can be an important part of building a growing passive-income portfolio.
2. MetLife Series A (MET-PA)
MetLife's Floating Rate Preferred Series A increased its quarterly payout to approximately $0.3147 per share.
With a yield of around 6.2%, MET-PA may attract investors looking for higher current income. However, preferred stocks have different characteristics from common stocks, and the floating-rate structure means the payout can change.
3. Permianville Royalty Trust (PVL)
PVL delivered the biggest percentage increase.
Its monthly distribution increased from $0.015 to $0.027 per unit, representing an impressive 80% increase.
That headline yield may look attractive, but investors should remember that royalty-trust distributions can fluctuate significantly depending on oil and natural-gas production and commodity prices.
What Dividend Investors Should Take Away
These three securities highlight why investors shouldn't look at dividend yield alone.
MDLZ is the clearest traditional dividend-growth story. MET-PA offers higher current income through a preferred-stock structure, while PVL provides variable monthly distributions with considerably more uncertainty.
For a long-term dividend portfolio, sustainable cash flow, balance-sheet strength and the ability to maintain or grow distributions are often more important than simply finding the stock with the highest yield.
