5 Ideal 'Safer' Dividend Buys From Bloomberg's June Watch List
I highlight 15 dividend-paying stocks from Bloomberg's 50 Companies to Watch that meet my 'safer' criteria: free cash flow yields exceed dividend yields. The top ten dividend focus stocks offer an estimated average net gain of 15.48% by June 2026, with diversified sector representation and generally lower volatility. Five stocks - China Hongqiao, ITV, Vodacom, Subsea 7, and Advanced Info - stand out as 'ideal' for income investors, combining safety and attractive yield-to-price ratios.

5 Ideal 'Safer' Dividend Buys From Bloomberg's May Watchlist
I analyze 50 Bloomberg 'Companies to Watch' for 2025, focusing on the 35 that pay dividends and applying the yield-based dogcatcher strategy. 15 of these dividend payers are 'safer' stocks, with free cash flow yields exceeding dividend yields—five are IDEAL candidates for watch-to-buy. Top ten dividend dogs offer estimated average net gains of 21.33% for the coming year, but investors should beware of cash-poor stocks with negative free cash flow margins.

Bank OZK: Preferred Shares Offer Decent Upside Before Fed Rate Cuts
Bank OZK is a U.S. regional bank with 73% of the loan portfolio allocated to real estate financing. Preferred dividends were well-covered by net income in 2024 and Q1 2025. Likewise, preferred equity enjoys a substantial common equity buffer. Fed rate cuts should result in incremental capital gains, supplementing the already attractive ~7% current yield.

Bank OZK: Still A Steal Post-Q1 Results
Like so many banks, shares of Bank OZK have struggled lately. OZK recently released Q1 2025 results. Profitability remains stellar, and credit quality is holding up well. OZK's lending skews more to construction, while loans also account for a relatively large share of its assets. In periods of economic uncertainty, that can lead to underperformance.
