3 Small-Cap Stocks With Sizable Dividends

Investors who love dividend stocks rarely buy small-cap stocks because they’re interested in consistent dividend growth, something smaller companies often can’t provide. In the ninth year of a bull market, the price-to-earnings ratio of the S&P 600 SmallCap Index, like most indexes, has risen dramatically since 2011. That said, it doesn’t mean there aren’t small caps worth owning that pay a sizable dividend and are still growing. Here are my three best ideas of small-cap stocks worth owning...

The five-year chart of New York-based investment bank Greenhill & Co., Inc. (NYSE:GHL) looks identical to an Olympic ski jump. A lot of people steer clear of business development companies like Solar Capital Ltd. (NASDAQ:SLRC) because they feel the high dividend yield isn’t worth the extra risk. You can call me crazy for picking American Eagle Outfitters (NYSE:AEO) given the retail apocalypse we’re in, but I believe that the upside for AEO stock is far greater than the downside at this point.
