Dividend Kings: 2 Ideal Buys In 25 "Safer" Of 56 September Dogs
The Dividend Kings list now includes 56 stocks, but only a select few offer fair value and strong yields relative to share price. Five top-yielding Dividend Kings—UVV, CDUAF, NWN, UBSI, and KVUE—currently meet my ideal of annual dividends exceeding share price. Analyst targets suggest these top-yield Kings could deliver net gains of 16% to 75% by September 2026, with lower volatility than the market.

The Year So Far: Nothing Is Like It Seems
2025 is a perfect reminder of how investing often feels contradictory: everything and nothing is happening at the same time. The S&P 500 is up about 6% (including dividends), and the TSX 60 has returned more than 9% as of July 1st. In the U.S., GDP growth is steady, unemployment remains low, but housing starts have slowed. Hardly the picture of an imminent recession.
