Changes in Divs and Notable Undervalued Opportunities
Remarkable changes in dividend assets 1. Yield spreads over Treasuries have nearly vanished for large-cap income names. Realty Income (O) and Verizon (VZ) both yield less than 60 basis points over the 10-year. 2. YQQQ's reset leaves it at roughly a 20% indicated yield. Distributions on option-income funds can erode NAV over time, so the yield and the payout can both move. 3. SCHD's roughly 3.2% yield and its pullback from about $35 show how rising rates are weighing on dividend ETF prices even after strong one-year returns. Possibly undervalued (factual screens, not recommendations) 1. GLPI trades below its 200-day average, and analysts' average target of $52.39 sits well above $42.79. 2. WES trades at about 11 times forward earnings, with distributions well covered by cash flow guidance. 3. AbbVie (ABBV) trades at 16 times forward earnings. Free cash flow of $17.8 billion covers $11.7 billion in dividends.

Start building YOUR Empire
Are you ready to build YOUR Empire? You're not trying to get rich. You're trying to build an empire. Here's the difference: rich is a number. An empire is a system. It's one that keeps running, keeps paying you, whether or not you're the one managing it that week. Wealth doesn't come from one river. It comes from many streams flowing together; a salary, a match, an investment account, a rental, a side skill you finally packaged and sold. You don't build that in a weekend. You build it one stream at a time, in order, without skipping the foundation to chase the exciting part. What's the next stream you're adding to yours?

Weekly Dividend Briefing: Tuesday, October 6, 2026.
Coverage is reported as of the morning session. A few items are from the past several days because there was little news in the strict last 24 hours. Dividend Increases/Cuts City Holding Company (CHCO) raised its quarterly dividend 15%, from $0.87 to $1.00 per share. That is the largest percentage increase in today's scan. Bank OZK lifted its dividend by a penny to $0.49 (+2.1%), its 65th consecutive quarterly increase. Phillips Edison & Company (PECO) raised its monthly distribution 6.2% to $0.115, starting with the October 1 payment. Two big payers had ex-dates around now. JPMorgan's raised $1.65 dividend (up from $1.50) went ex today. Philip Morris's increase to $1.60 (from $1.47) went ex October 2. On the cut side, there were no major new cuts in the last 24 hours. Slate Grocery REIT's dividend suspension is still drawing attention. Intel's dividend remains suspended because free cash flow has been negative in both quarters of 2026 so far. Notable Moves Dividend ETFs are lagging the rally in tech. Over the past week SCHD fell 1.33% and VYM fell 1.00%. Year to date, SCHD is up about 20.9% and VYM about 10.0%. SCHD's trailing yield is 3.22% and VYM's is 2.35%. Before the open, Constellation Energy jumped about 9% on a 20-year nuclear power deal with Google. Stryker fell about 3.5% after announcing its next CEO. Market Context The main story for income investors is rates. The 10-year Treasury yield moved above 5.3% this week, its highest since 2002, and the 30-year briefly passed 5.7%, a 24-year high. The 10-year eased to about 5.27% this morning as oil prices dropped after a G7 reserve release. Even so, the S&P 500 rose about 0.5% at the open and the Nasdaq hit a record. Rate-sensitive sectors are falling behind. Fewer than 25% of utilities, real estate and consumer staples stocks are above their 200-day moving averages, compared with about two-thirds of energy and tech names. Utilities are down about 7% since February while the broader market is up about 10%.
