Dogs Of The S&P 500: 14 Ideal 'Safer' July Dividend Buys
High-yield S&P 500 stocks can be risky, but 14 "safer" S&P 500 dividend dogs have strong free cash flow to support payouts and are attractive buys. Analyst forecasts suggest top ten S&P 500 dividend dogs could deliver 27% to 53% net gains by July 2026, with lower-than-market volatility. A market correction could make more high-yield stocks fairly priced; currently, only a select few meet the 'dogcatcher' ideal of yield from $1K invested exceeding share price.

AES Corporation: Takeover News Vs. Policy Headwinds - And The Value Case
Takeover rumors sent AES shares up ~20%, but no firm bid is confirmed yet. Meanwhile, new policy changes have tightened tax credit deadlines and are likely to raise costs for renewables. Three scenarios are possible: a full buyout, partial asset sales to reduce debt, or AES continuing as a standalone company focused on renewables and dividends. AES's core value still hinges on major data center power contracts and steady cash flows, though high debt levels and execution risks complicate a potential takeover.
