X-FUNDS dividend payers ranked by current yield
As always, please read our disclaimer.
The following stocks are sorted in descending order of greatest “current yield.”
As we’ve said before elsewhere, we’re not big fans of current yield, but here you go anyways.
Please note some of these may have had “special” dividends or spinoff payments which will not repeat.
All dividends are calculated based on the “Ex-EFF Date.”
Here’s a “table of averages” for the issues below; not definitive, but kind of interesting.
