7 Monthly Dividend Stocks to Pay Your Bills

So, all else equal, monthly dividend stocks are a dream come true for investors. Now, some obvious, common-sense caveats apply here. You should never buy a stock because its dividend is paid monthly. The health of the underlying business, growth prospects, the quality of management and the stock’s valuation are all vastly more important than its dividend calendar. But if I were hypothetically looking at two otherwise identical stocks, I’d clearly choose the stock with a monthly payout over the one with a quarterly payout. Some might argue that a monthly payout is nothing more than a cynical attention grabber designed to appeal to yield-starved retail investors. I disagree. When I see a monthly payout, that tells me that management is making a real effort to give its investors what they want. So with that, let’s jump into our list of seven quality monthly dividend stocks...

I can’t make a list of monthly dividend stocks without including “The Monthly Dividend Company” itself, Realty Income Corp (NYSE:O). Along the same lines, we have Global Net Lease Inc (NYSE:GNL). One of my very favorite monthly dividend stocks is EPR Properties (NYSE:EPR). So, let’s look at one more monthly-paying REIT Gladstone Commercial Corporation (NASDAQ:GOOD). I’ll give you one last REIT before moving on, mortgage REIT AGNC Investment Corp (NASDAQ:AGNC). Moving away from REITs, let’s now take a look at school bus operator Student Transportation Inc (NYSE:STB). And finally, I’d recommend you give business development company (BDC) Main Street Capital Corporation (NYSE:MAIN) a good look.
