EasyResearch Weekly Dividends Update

Written by Cay-Low Mbedzi | Aug 20, 2024 6:53:56 AM

EasyProperties auctions are underway, presenting an opportunity for new investors to enter the real estate market and for existing investors to buy more or sell their shares. These auctions will be closing later this week.

Regarding companies with upcoming last dates to trade (LDT) and earnings:

  • Target Corp, a major American retailer, will report earnings following strong U.S. retail sales data, which led to a rally in its shares and positive results from Walmart.

Growth in earnings, along with exceeding market expectations regarding earnings and revenue, could result in the stock surging.

Companies with growing dividends in this week’s update include:

  • Equinix Inc. also has a history of increasing its cash dividend to shareholders. The company is expected to raise its dividend after the upcoming payout, which is included in this week's update.
  • In the Australian market, Commonwealth Bank of Australia and Challenger Ltd are among the companies that have been boosting their dividends to shareholders.
  • Microchip Technology Inc., on the other hand, has been increasing its dividends every quarter. According to Simply Wall St., its profits are expected to grow by 38% over the next few years.

Pitney Bowes and Paycom Software (a cloud-based HR provider) have maintained paying the same dividend. Notably, Paycom Software:

  • Is expected to see double-digit sales growth through 2025,
  • Has a strong earnings record,
  • Holds a strong buy ranking from Zacks Investment Research,
  • And had $371.3 million in cash with no debt as of March 31, 2024.

It’s also worth noting that since EasyEquities 3.0 is live, investors can search for using the word dividends under "Invest Now" and see a list of instruments that pay regular cash dividends and more!

Regarding upcoming earnings: Baidu, Weibo, Vipshop, and XPeng—leading Chinese companies in tech, social media, retail, and electric vehicles—will announce earnings this week. Other companies announcing quarterly earnings include Zoom, Snowflake, Peloton, Estée Lauder, and SQM.
