Large-Cap Stocks Going Ex-Dividend Next Week-2020-01-21

Income investors seeking equities to buy right now should consider one of more than two-dozen large-cap stocks going ex-dividend next week.

Several characteristics make large-cap stocks desirable as core portfolio building blocks. Generally stocks of older and established companies, these equities typically offer a high degree of operational and financial transparency. This transparency allows investors easy access to information for stock analysis and evaluation.

As established companies with businesses that generate relatively reliable results, these companies can establish set dividend policies that have specific payout and growth commitments over the long term. Furthermore, as large and established companies, many of the large-cap companies generally have a portfolio of diversified businesses. This strategy allows these companies to take advantage of market growth across several sectors and weather downturns in one of the several markets in which the companies operate.

Sorted in ascending order by dividend yield and for investor’s immediate consideration, below are 23 stocks with market capitalizations of more than $10 billion that go ex-dividend next week. Therefore, interested investors who are looking to take advantage of the upcoming dividend distributions should not delay their own analysis and due diligence.

While the equities below might deliver lower growth during bull markets, these stocks will also generally offer better protection in bear markets. The market capitalizations range between $10.5 billion for Pinnacle West Capital Corporation (NYSE:PNW) to the high of more than $224 billion for Pfizer, Inc. (NYSE:PFE). The average capitalization of the entire group is more than $48 billion. The dividend yields range from a marginal 0.81% (Jacobs Engineering Group, Inc., NYSE:J) to 7.6% (Plains All American Pipeline L.P., NYSE:PAA), with a 3.14% simple average yield.

Only two equities on the list below – Conagra Brands, Inc. (NYSE:CAG) and the Ford Motor Company (NYSE:F) – have not increased their dividend distribution in the trailing 12 months. The remaining 21 equities have boosted their annual dividend payouts between one and 43 consecutive years for an average current streak of nearly nine years of consecutive annual dividend hikes.
