This Utility Has Raised Its Dividend for 31 Straight Years. Here's the 1 Number I'd Check Before Buying.

NextEra Energy (NEE) has raised its dividend for 31 consecutive years and expects roughly 10% annual growth through 2026, then about 6% in 2027 and 2028. The article highlights the payout ratio as the key number to check: the annualized dividend of about $2.49 per share equals roughly 62% to 64% of 2026 adjusted EPS guidance of $3.92 to $4.02. That level is considered manageable for a regulated utility, but heavy capital spending could limit dividend growth if earnings fail to keep pace. Management targets adjusted EPS growth of at least 8% annually through 2035, and the author believes that, if achieved while the payout ratio stays near current levels, the dividend could keep rising into 2036.

  • 2 High-Yield Dividend Stocks Worth Buying Before 2026 Ends

    Verizon (VZ) and Pfizer (PFE) are presented as two high-yield dividend stocks worth considering before 2026 ends. Verizon added more than 1 million mobility and broadband connections in the first half, and management raised full-year guidance for the second straight quarter; its quarterly dividend of about $0.71 per share, declared in September 2026, implies a forward yield near 6.5%. Pfizer declared a fourth-quarter dividend of $0.43 per share in October 2026, a forward yield of about 6.1%, marking its 352nd consecutive quarterly payout. The company is building growth through oncology and specialty medicines, with 96 programs in clinical development, including 31 in phase 3.

  • If I Could Hold Only 1 Dividend ETF for the Next 30 Years, Here's What I'd Buy

    The author says they would pick the Vanguard International High Dividend Yield ETF (VYMI) if they could hold only one dividend ETF for the next 30 years. The fund has a 3.68% trailing 12-month dividend yield and a P/E of 13.3, about 43% cheaper than the S&P 500, and it has significantly outperformed the index over the past year. Vanguard projects international stocks will beat U.S. stocks over the next 30 years, with developed markets forecast at 6.2% to 8.2% annualized returns versus 4.9% to 6.9% for U.S. equities. VYMI holds 1,567 stocks from 45 countries, mostly in developed markets such as Japan (12.2%) and the UK (11%). The author argues AI's gains could spread to steady sectors like banks, pharma and consumer staples, though there is no guarantee VYMI will beat U.S. stocks.

  • Tesla Stock vs. the S&P 500: Which Investment Wins Through 2030?

    The article argues Tesla trades at roughly 203 times this year's expected earnings and 13 times expected sales, a valuation that looks very expensive given gross margin pressure and a slower-than-expected robotaxi rollout. The flying Roadster, slated for production in 2028, is unlikely to make a meaningful sales or earnings contribution before 2030. The author thinks a Tesla-SpaceX merger by the end of the decade, likely an all-stock deal, is more likely than not and would be a key factor in how Tesla stock performs against the S&P 500 through 2030.

  • SpaceX surprises Wall Street with Oct. 20 earnings date — here's why

    SpaceX (SPCX) will release earnings on Oct. 20 after the market close, a surprise since earnings dates are usually shared weeks in advance. Evercore ISI analyst Kutgun Maral says possible reasons include putting updated financials on record before new financing or getting ahead of major lock-up releases, though scheduling is also possible. Reuters reported SpaceX is seeking $40 billion in financing to buy advanced Nvidia AI chips, including about $10 billion in bank loans and $30 billion in investment-grade debt, with Apollo expected to lead. The lock-up schedule includes 1.30 billion shares two days after earnings, 329 million on 10/24, and a remaining 857 million tranche of the 180-day group.

  • AEP Partners with Amazon and X-energy to Explore Advanced Nuclear Energy in Indiana

    American Electric Power (AEP) has announced a joint development agreement with X-energy to evaluate the feasibility of a 960-megawatt advanced nuclear project at a former coal plant site in Sullivan County, Indiana. Amazon is supporting development through a funding agreement. If the project reaches a final investment decision and is built, Amazon intends to buy the power under a long-term contract covering the facility's costs and operations. The initial project would include 12 Xe-100 units of 80 MW each, and the companies say it could create jobs, expand the local tax base and strengthen the grid for more than 60 years. AEP says the agreements include the financial safeguards it considers essential for any nuclear project to move forward.
