TORTOLA, British Virgin Islands, June 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Orca Energy Group Inc. ("Orca" or the "Company") (TSXV: ORC.A, ORC.B) announces an update to its previously announced management cease trade order (the "MCTO") issued by the Alberta Securities Commission (the "ASC") on May 1, 2026, pursuant to National Policy 12-203 Management Cease Trade Orders ("NP 12-203"), as previously disclosed in news releases of the Company dated April 23, 2026, May 4, 2026, and May 19, 2026 (collectively, the "MCTO Announcements"). As previously disclosed in the MCTO Announcements, the Company applied for the MCTO due to an expected delay (the "Filing Delay") in filing its audited consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, the related management's discussion and analysis, and its Form 52-109FV1 CEO and CFO certifications of annual filings (collectively the "Required Filings").

I highlight the top ten ReFa/Ro dividend dogs for April 2026, all offering dividends from $1,000 invested that exceed their share price. Analyst 1-year targets project 23.15% to 71.69% net gains for these high-yield stocks by April 2027, with an average estimated gain of 46.15%. Five lowest-priced ReFa/Ro dogs are expected to outperform, delivering 21.96% higher gains versus the full top ten, per analyst targets.

More than 1,500 stocks have reported earnings since the current season began in mid-April, and the average stock that has reported has seen an average absolute one-day share price reaction of roughly 7%. The last time we saw earnings vol spike was during the Financial Crisis bear market, when stocks were tanking. This time around, we're seeing earnings vol increase during a strong AI-driven bull market. Tech stocks are seeing record earnings day volatility as investors and traders presumably make snap judgements about AI's future impact on the bottom line.

These shares offer big yields but far more stability than investors expect. Recent market downturns enabled attractive entry points for big yields with capital gains. It's best to prepare for these opportunities in advance. Because we were already evaluating these shares regularly, we were able to jump on opportunities during the big dip.

VERO BEACH, Fla., May 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Orchid Island Capital, Inc. (the “Company”) (NYSE: ORC) announced today that the Board of Directors of the Company declared a monthly cash dividend for the month of May 2026. The dividend of $0.10 per share will be paid June 29, 2026 to holders of record of the Company's common stock on May 29, 2026, with an ex-dividend date of May 29, 2026. The Company plans on announcing its next common stock dividend on June 9, 2026.

May's top monthly pay dividend equities, led by Grupo Financiero Galicia, offer forecasted net gains up to 76.4% by 2027. Yield-based MoPay stock selection proved 50% accurate against analyst gain forecasts, with average net gain projected at 32.16% and moderate risk. Investors should monitor dividend sustainability, as 43 of 81 MoPay equities exhibit negative free cash flow margins, signaling potential payout risks.

Orchid Island Capital recently reduced its monthly dividend from $0.12 to $0.10, with the stock hitting a new 52-week low. Despite a 16.6% dividend cut and 7.8% price drop, the yield remains an elevated 17%, reflecting inherent risk but nice income. I see two approaches: risk-averse investors can withdraw dividends to recover basis, while risk-tolerant investors may reinvest dividends to accumulate larger positions for high-yield compounding.
