Interpublic: Ad Agency Giant To Be Swallowed By Another One, Creating Further Upside
In my first rating of Interpublic Group, I am calling it a buy, sharing the bullish sentiment on this stock today from the consensus on Seeking Alpha. In addition to the potential merger benefits of the expected acquisition by rival Omnicom, IPG has shown it can deliver impressive profit margins on its own. A nearly 5% dividend yield, proven dividend growth, and expected operating cash flow growth add to the bullish case for dividend investors.

100 Sustainable Dividend Dogs: 47 "Safer", 3 Ideal August Buys, And 7 To Watch
I analyze Barron's top 100 sustainable companies, focusing on dividend payers and using the dogcatcher yield-based strategy to identify value opportunities. Seven out of 83 dividend-paying sustainable stocks currently meet the ideal of annual dividends from a $1K investment exceeding their share price, signaling potential buys. Analyst targets project 20.21% to 45.71% net gains for the top ten ESG dividend stocks by August 2026, with average risk below the market.

Dogs Of The S&P 500: Buy 19 Ideal "Safer" August Dividend Payers
Many high-yield S&P 500 stocks are risky, but 19 'safer' dividend dogs have strong free cash flow to support payouts and are worth considering. Analyst forecasts suggest the top ten S&P 500 dividend dogs could deliver 23% to 40% net gains by August 2026, with moderate risk. A market correction or dividend increases could make all top ten 'safer' dividend dogs attractively priced, maximizing yield versus share price.
