Stewart Sutton/DigitalVision via Getty Images Introduction Are you satisfied with your job? If you're retired, this question does not apply. However, if you're an "average" American, it's a 50/50 chance you're happy. According to a survey among U.S. workers in 2023 from the PEW Research Center, just 51% of middle-income Americans are satisfied with their jobs. Among lower- income Americans, that number drops to 45%. Even among higher-income participants, more than 40% were not satisfied. Upper-income worker ...

NNN REIT is among the dividend-paying elite. NNN REIT (NNN -0.04%) recently hit another dividend milestone: The real estate investment trust (REIT) delivered its 35th consecutive annual payout hike. That put it in an elite group. Only two other REITs and fewer than 80 publicly traded companies currently have dividend-hiking streaks of 35 or more years. The retail REIT's 3% dividend increase pushed its yield closer to 5%, putting it even further above the S&P 500's sub-1.5% average yield. Here's a look at wh ...

Maxxa_Satori NNN REIT, Inc. (NYSE:NNN) is a real estate investment trust that primarily invests in reasonably high-quality commercial real estate. As a REIT, NNN pays out the majority of its income to shareholders in the form of dividend distributions.

NNN has a diversifi ...

Essential Properties Realty Trust (EPRT) has a market cap of $5.5bn and an NTM dividend yield of 3.75%, balancing out its higher expected growth, as this is a newer REIT that focuses on lower credit tenants. Lastly, and what will be the main focus of thi ...

angel_nt/iStock via Getty Images There's an expression in investing that goes, "the safest dividend is the one that has just been raised." To an extent, this phrase rings true since a dividend bump usually means a business believes there is sustainable cash flow to perpetually sustain an increased payment to shareholders. Aside from a short list of companies with unusual dividend policies, like Sturm, Ruger, & Company (RGR) who distributes 40% of net income as a quarterly dividend, most dividends are consis ...

These companies produce a lot of dividend income each year. Investing in dividend stocks can be a great way to generate recurring passive income. Many companies pay dividends to their investors each quarter. Those payments can really add up. For example, investing $5,000 across three high-quality, high-yielding dividend stocks could generate about $250 of annual dividend income: | --- | --- | --- | --- | |------------------------|------------|---------------|------------------------| | Dividend Stock | Inve ...

D. Lentz/E+ via Getty Images NNN REIT (NYSE:NNN) is a retail/service-oriented net lease REIT with 3548 properties recorded as of June 30, 2024, leased to over 375 tenants. For those unfamiliar with the 'triple net lease' term, it's a highly favourable agreement type (from the landlord's perspective), as it involves the tenant covering operating and maintenance costs (incl. property taxes, insurance, repairs, etc.). It's especially attractive when combined with contractual rent escalators embedded within the ...

NNN REIT is as consistent and durable as they come. NNN REIT (NNN -0.49%) has quietly put together a terrific record of paying dividends. The retail-focused real estate investment trust (REIT) delivered its first dividend increase to shareholders in 1990. It hasn't stopped raising its payout since then and recently notched its 35th straight year of dividend growth. That's an impressive record, considering that we've had four recessions during the period. Economic downturns tend to be times when companies gr ...
