This October's Dividend Kings list features 56 stocks, with Kenvue and United Bankshares meeting the ideal "fair price" yield criteria. Analysts project the top-ten Dividend Kings could deliver 19.2% to 41.5% net gains by October 2026, with KVUE offering the highest upside. Only two of the top-ten Kings, KVUE and UBSI, are considered "safer" with sufficient free cash flow to cover their dividends at current prices.

The article highlights the top ten S&P Hi-Yield Aristocrats for September, with nine stocks offering attractive yields and fair pricing for dividend investors. Analyst forecasts project potential net gains of 21.59% to 66.98% by September 2026 for these high-yield 'dog' stocks, with average risk 31% below the market. Five lowest-priced Hi-Yield Aristocrats—AMCR, FLO, PRGO, BEN, RHI—are expected to outperform the higher-priced group, reflecting the classic 'Dogs of the Dow' strategy.

United Bankshares (UBSI) might move higher on growing optimism about its earnings prospects, which is reflected by its upgrade to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

If you were a big fan of “That '70s Show,” get ready because we may soon get a revival, and it will likely not be as entertaining.

The Dividend Kings list now includes 56 stocks, but only a select few offer fair value and strong yields relative to share price. Five top-yielding Dividend Kings—UVV, CDUAF, NWN, UBSI, and KVUE—currently meet my ideal of annual dividends exceeding share price. Analyst targets suggest these top-yield Kings could deliver net gains of 16% to 75% by September 2026, with lower volatility than the market.

United Bankshares, Inc. (UBSI) reached a significant support level, and could be a good pick for investors from a technical perspective. Recently, UBSI's 50-day simple moving average broke out above its 200-day moving average; this is known as a "golden cross.

WASHINGTON & CHARLESTON, W.Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--United Bankshares Declares Third Quarter Dividend.

United Bankshares (UBSI) shares have started gaining and might continue moving higher in the near term, as indicated by solid earnings estimate revisions.

Quality high-yield Dividend Kings stocks are perfect for generating passive income. The Federal Reserve will likely lower interest rates in September, and dividend stocks could get a boost.

United Bankshares has been a solid performer these past few months, returning over 10% since my first piece back in March. United's recent earnings saw a nice bump from its latest piece of M&A. Credit quality also remains robust, with the bank still only experiencing modest losses and delinquencies. While the stock hasn't been the best performer over the past decade or so, multiple compression has been a big driver of that. The valuation is much more reasonable today.
