This week features five stocks going ex-dividend, offering a mix of high yield and reliable growth across tobacco, healthcare, tech, and consumer goods.
-
$British American Tobacco PLC(BTI)$ : The high-yield leader at 5.9%. However, it carries high risk with a payout ratio exceeding 100% (103%), meaning it pays out more than it earns.
-
$Bristol-Myers Squibb(BMY)$ : The safest pick. It offers a solid 4.0% yield, a low P/E of 11, and a conservative payout ratio (45%), leaving room for future growth.
-
$Mondelez(MDLZ)$ : The growth play. It has the strongest dividend growth momentum (+30% vs. 4-year average) and a safe 3.5% yield.
-
$Philip Morris(PM)$ : A steady 3.4% yield with a manageable 71% payout ratio, though yield momentum is currently negative.
-
$Cisco(CSCO)$ : The lowest yield at 1.6%. While safe, it trades at a premium P/E of 32.
Verdict: BMY offers the best balance of safety and value, while MDLZ is best for dividend growth. BATS is strictly for high-risk income seekers.
