New June Fortune 500 Industry Leaders Show 3 Ideal "Safer" Dividend Buys
Three Fortune 500 Industry Leaders—Energy Transfer, Verizon, and World Kinect—currently meet the 'dogcatcher' ideal of fair price and safer dividends. Analyst targets project 21% to 50% net gains for the top ten F500IL dividend dogs by June 2026, with average gains of 28.8%. Most top-yielding F500IL stocks remain overpriced, but a 60% market correction or dividend increases could make all ten fairly priced for income investors. Twelve F500IL stocks have negative free cash flow margins, making them unsafe for dividends; focus on the three 'safer' fair-priced options for now.
