5 Dividend Stocks that BEAT the SCHD Dividend ETF

If you liked this video, these are perfect for you!

I love the Schwab Dividend ETF, the SCHD, one of my favorite dividend funds but there are ways to beat it. Like last week when we created a Frankenstein’s monster of a dividend fund, taking parts from the SCHD to create a 15-stock portfolio with a higher dividend and fundamentals to grow that dividend. But afterward, I started thinking…why are we limiting ourselves to only stocks from the SCHD ETF?

Pulling out those best 15 stocks in the SCHD gave us a 5.3% dividend, a 50% bump in the payout from the broader fund, but also earnings and revenue growth that blows the SCHD away. But by going further, screening for stocks outside the 99 dividend stocks in the SCHD, I’ve put together a five-stock list that will do even better. These five stocks boost that dividend yield to 5.8%, a 65% bump from the SCHD, along with the fundamentals and proven dividend growth to put more money in your pocket!

Buying a stock is easy, but buying the right stock without a time-tested strategy is incredibly hard. Hence what are the best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist? I’ve been trying to grow my portfolio of $560K for sometime now, my major challenge is not knowing the best entry and exit strategie;s ... I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.

I am at the beginning of my "investment journey", planning to put 85K into dividend stocks so that I will be making up to 30% per year in dividend returns. Any advice?

[Johnny-sehk]

I'm at crossroads deciding if to liquidate my $250k portfolio and get back in after Nov 5. So much uncertainty looming due to the election.

The S&P 500 finished down 20% in 2022. This means long term investors have a great starting point in 2023. Here are 4 very popular ETF’s: $VOO- S&P 500 fund $VTI- Total US stock market $QQQ- High growth, tech $SCHD- Growth + Dividends| I just tallied my dividends for the year;$167k Blessed and grateful, disciplined and focused.

Why do so many dividend stocks get killed for share price? You would think dividend stocks would do a little better. Case in point: $3M.

From my observation and historical market pattern, there might be a bit of turbulence in the market coming up, but here's the deal: Trying to guess what's going to happen next is less important than spreading your bets when trading and thinking long term. It's not about guessing the market's next move; it's about playing it smart and steady...managed to grow a nest egg of around 100k to a decent 732k in the space of a few months... I'm especially grateful to Evelyn Infurna, whose deep expertise and traditional trading acumen have been invaluable in this challenging, ever-evolving financial landscape...

Started in PRU in 2020, up 44%; WPC and GLPI are on my watch list.

I have owned PFG, Principle Financial and it pays a good dividend and increases ten percent a year. I have owned it for 12 years.

[oleksacrowley]

May I ask, why is CCI didn't make it to either of your lists?

[JannyLuits]

My portfolio doesn’t just cater to dividend stocks. I hold $VFIAX (S&P 500 index fund) in my Roth IRA and $VTI (Total Stock Market ETF) in my taxable brokerage account. Two of my largest holdings. The individual dividend stock positions all complement the index holdings.

I need you to manage my money...Love your style. Subscribing now.

[chicarbiomed]

I’m glad you covered more stocks outside of SCHD. I’m still thinking about dividend stocks but not confident of my strategy yet.

[LizaPhilips]

For those moving cash from money market to other assets given the Fed pivot, what are some income-producing assets (not physical real estate) that you are prioritizing over the next year to offset your loss in income?

[joshjuday]

I know you don't get into options much but could you do a video on quality dividend stocks with weekly options and decent premiums please? I'm having a hard time finding them...
