Dividend and retirement-focused investors are often looking for monthly cash flow and seeking for a list of stocks that pay a dividend every month. This article provides a list of Monthly dividend stocks and the related excel spreadsheet for download (free).

Monthly Dividend Stocks

All the identified US-based monthly dividend stocks are members of the Russell 2000 Index, are mid- or small-sized businesses and not part of the S&P 500.  The companies of this list are dominant in three sectors: Real Estate, Financial Services, and Energy. Please note that the dividend yield and payout ratios are above average, which could be a risk identifier for a dividend stock.

Fundamental metrics:

  • Dividend & earnings per share
  • Dividend Yield

This Monthly Dividend Stocks spreadsheet allows you to easily sort by the price-to-earnings ratio (or dividend yield) so you can quickly find undervalued or overvalued dividend-paying stocks. Pay-out ratio’s above 80% should also be a warning signal for dividend investors.

Alternatives for the Monthly Dividend Stocks

If you are an investor focused on a monthly cash flow, the dividend aristocrats could be a good alternative. Companies that increase year by year regular dividends, tend to be in better financial health and produce sustained earnings and revenue growth.

By combining 3 different dividend aristocrats active in different sectors and having their quarterly dividend not in-sync, the result will also result in 12 dividend payments per year. But probably in more stable performing companies in the long-run and you will benefit even more from the “compounding effect”, given the yearly dividend increases.

Other Dividend Lists

  • The Nasdaq Dividend Achievers list is of US stocks with 10+ consecutive years of dividend increases that meet certain minimum size and liquidity requirements.
  • The Dividend Aristocrats Index is based on 53 companies part of the S&P 500 and with 25+ years of consecutive dividend increases.  It is more exclusive than the Dividend Achievers Index.
  • The Dividend Kings List is even more exclusive.  It is comprised of a small set of companies with 50+ years of consecutive dividend increases.
  • The Dividend Champions list is based on US companies with 25+ years of consecutive dividend increases, not necessarily part of the S&P 500 as the Aristocrats do.

With respect to performance, the Dividend Aristocrats list has substantially outperformed both the S&P 500 and the Dividend Achievers over the last decade(s).
