June's Dividend Kings: 3 Ideal Buys In 25 "Safer" Dogs
Most Dividend Kings are currently overpriced, but six offer fair value where annual dividends from $1,000 invested exceed their share price. Three top-yield Dividend Kings—Altria, Northwest Natural, and Canadian Utilities—meet the ideal 'dogcatcher' standard for fair pricing and dividend safety. Analyst projections suggest select Dividend Kings could deliver up to 58% total returns by June 2026, with lower volatility than the market overall.

Buy 3 "Safer" Dividend Kings Of 25 From May's 55
The May collection of Dividend Kings grew to 55, with Automatic Data Processing and RLI Corporation joining, despite two companies dropping off for not increasing dividends. Six top-yield Dividend Kings, including Altria and Canadian Utilities, are now fairly priced, with annual dividends from $1K investments exceeding their single-share prices. Analysts predict net gains of 14.7% to 56.86% for the top ten Dividend Kings by yield for the coming year, based on target prices. Among the 55 Dividend Kings, 16 show negative free cash flow margins, making them cash-poor and unsafe for investment.
