The S&P 600 Small/MidCap index offers high-yield dividend opportunities, with 33 out of 53 top-yielding stocks meeting both the 'safer' and IDEAL dividend Dogcatcher criteria. Top ten S&P600 dividend 'dogs' are projected to deliver 24% to 93% net gains by November 2026, based on analyst targets and current yields. Stocks like KNTK, SM, CRGY, and DEI stand out for strong total return potential, but investors should beware of negative free cash flow in some high-yield picks.

Hope Bancorp reported mixed Q3 results, with top-line beats but bottom-line misses, and improving asset quality and net interest margins (NIMs). Loan and deposit growth for HOPE remains sluggish, mainly due to California's economic slowdown, but management is expanding into new markets and hiring talent to drive growth. NIMs expanded significantly from 2.54% to 2.89% due to merger synergies and asset redeployment but are expected to stabilize as these benefits normalize.
