You’ll Learn
- Let’s start by reminding ourselves why a company pays a low or a high yield.
- Bear markets can impact yields. How does Mike analyze higher yields of solid companies in a bear market?
- As seen last week, the REIT sector is good for finding income stocks as they must distribute most of their income. In Canada, Granite REIT (GRT.UN.TO) certainly deserves its place on a Best Income Stocks list despite the sector’s more challenging times.
- That said, Granite still relies a lot on Magna International. Is that its main downside?
- The next stock pick is in the material sector, which has been hit hard in the last two years. Labrador Iron Ore (LIF.TO) has reported a bad Q4. Why does Mike think it remains solid?
- LIF currently pays a yield of over 7%. At what point does it become riskier? What should investors follow closely?
- Now, communication services, especially telecoms, are an excellent place to find income stocks in Canada. Mike’s favorite is Telus (T.TO) once more. But why does he like it so much?
- Telus’s price was on a downward trend in 2023. How can we explain this fact, and should investors be worried?
- Mike is not a big fan of the Energy sector but still picked one company: Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ.TO). Its incredibly stable business makes it an exciting play.
- The last picks are all in the Financial Services sector. Why do we find so many income stocks in this sector?
- Mike selected Great-West Lifeco (GWO.TO) and Sun Life Financial (SLF.TO) over Manulife in the insurance companies. Their growth vectors make them better candidates for the long haul.
- Let’s end with a few words on Canadian Banks. They currently offer high yields, which makes them more attractive to income-seeking investors. Are high yields there to stay for banks?
- We already know that Royal Bank and National Bank are Mike’s favorites. Are they the best opportunities for income stocks?
