Geopolitical tensions continue to impact global markets, driving volatility that could present buying opportunities, especially for new investors.
For passive income or dividend-focused investors, this environment may unlock more chances to invest in shares offering attractive annual yields.
This week’s update highlights several companies known for paying steady dividends while also showing strong double-digit growth in share prices, making them potential options for diversification. These include:
- Deere & Company, a global leader in agricultural and construction equipment, is up nearly 40% over the past year with a 1% dividend yield.
- Philip Morris International, a multinational tobacco and nicotine product company, surged 80% in the past year, offering a 2% yield.
- EPR Properties, a REIT focused on experiential properties like cinemas, resorts, and entertainment venues, gained nearly 50% in one year with a 6% dividend yield.
Keep in mind, past performance doesn’t guarantee future returns, and dividend yields fluctuate as share prices change.
On the Australian market this week, REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) stand out, with many offering dividend yields around 5%.
When it comes to high yields, the latest update includes US companies like:
- Innovative Industrial Properties Inc (REIT focused on industrial properties leased to cannabis operators) – 13% dividend yield
- Annaly Capital Management Inc (mortgage REIT investing in real estate-backed securities) – 14% annual dividend yield
- AGNC Investment Corp (mortgage REIT specialising in residential mortgage-backed securities) – 15% dividend yield
Also worth noting: this week marks the final opportunity to participate in EasyProperties’ latest round of property auctions. Some of these properties are already paying dividends to shareholders.
Other companies with upcoming last dates to trade include British American Tobacco p.l.c., PPC Ltd, and International Consolidated Airlines Group S.A. (the owner of British Airways).
