Try This High-Yielding Telecom Stock And Their 6 Competitors To Boost Your Dividend Income

If you are in the UK or one of 170 countries, the name BT Group is as familiar its predecessor, British Telecom. 

The former government-owned telecom utility is now into offering a full compliment of fixed-line, broadband, mobile and Television products and services. 

It delivers these services through six business groups: Global Services, Business and Public Sector, Consumer, EE, Wholesale and Ventures and Openreach. 


The company was incorporated in 2001 and is headquartered in London. Fewer than a dozen players indirectly control the global communications market. In many countries the market is increasingly reaching maturity resulting in slower growth. 


However, this still leaves half of the worlds population either un-served or under served. This is especially accurate when consideration is given to mobile and Internet services. 


The amount of capital required to enter, compete and operate in this arena is great and is almost always influenced by government regulation. So the big are likely to get even bigger. BT Group has a long history paying a semi-annual dividend. The current payout of $0.96 offers investors a 3.6% yield. 


For a utility, BT's payout has been more volatile than average. The current payout is nearly 50% greater than 2009 but 45% below peak 2014 levels. The current payout ratio is a moderate 42% of EPS and 40% of Free Cash Flow, which is supportive of the current dividend payment.


Here are more details from the company and it's dividend history....

5 High-Yield Dividend Champs For Yield Hungry Income Investors

For sure, all investors want good returns in order to compensate inflation risks and to cover money for the retirement age. 

Dividend income is a first step to get cash money into your trading accounts but it doesn't help if you get only a one percent yield or so.

Buying High-Yields is also no solution if the stock doesn’t grow and hike future dividends.

Today I would like to introduce some High-Yield stocks that have risen dividends over more than 25 consecutive years.

Canadian Telecom BCE Joins The Dividend Yield Passive Income Portfolio

On the last trading day of the week, I opened a new position within the telecom sector. I purchased 25 shares of the Canadian telecom and communication company BCE. BCE yields at 5.11 percent and as a low forward P/E of 14.37. The current P/E is also below 15 at 14.80.

Earnings growth of 3.1 percent is predicted for the next five years. I also bought the smaller rival Rogers Communications but the position is still 3.41 percent in the negative area. Behind Rogers and AT&T, it's my third stake withint the telecom sector.

The corporate provides communications solutions to residential, business, and wholesale customers primarily in Canada. The company offers local and long distance telephone services under the Bell Home Phone brand; direct-to-home satellite television (TV) services under the Bell TV name; Internet protocol TV services under the Bell Fibe TV brand; and personal video recorders and online access services. It also provides data services, including Internet access services under the Bell Internet name; Internet protocol based services; and information and communications technology solutions. In addition, the company engages in the rental, sale, and maintenance of business terminal equipment; sale of TV set-top boxes; and provision of network installation and maintenance services for third parties.

--------------------------------------
For readers who are new to the matter and my dividend growth philosophy: I funded a virtual portfolio with 100k on October 04, 2012 with the aim to build a passive income stream that doubles each five to ten years. I plan to purchase each week one stock holding until the money is fully invested. The total number of constituents is expected at 50 – 70 companies and the dividend income should be at least at $3,000 per year.
--------------------------------------

The position cost $1,111.50 and should bring over $50 bucks in dividends over the year. The full-year estimated dividend income is now at $2,703.40. Only $300 dollars are necessary to hit the goal of $3,000 by the end of this year. With cash of $21,707.22 it is still possible to reach this goal.

Earnings and Dividends of BCE, Inc.

The portfolio holdings are up 10.91 percent since the date of funding and buying in average. Due to the low buying process and high cash value over the past year, the complete portfolio performance is only 10.09 percent.
