DIVIDEND ACCELERATORS WEEKLY: Feb 25

Consumer Power Plays: 7 Day Ex-Dividend Watch

Editor's Note: With five essential dividend stocks approaching critical ex-dividend dates starting Tuesday, investors face a narrow window for positioning. Recent institutional buying across IT solutions, industrial manufacturing, and healthcare diagnostics sectors has intensified, while combined cash reserves exceeding $4.8B suggest strong dividend sustainability. As these industry leaders prepare to trade ex-dividend over three consecutive days, their conservative 34% average payout ratio indicates potential for future increases.

Molson Coors Beverage Company (TAP.A)

Price Target: $62.36
Dividend Yield: 3.04%
Payment Date: Mar 14, 2025
Current Price: $61.76
Dividend Amount: $0.47
Payout Ratio: 35.14%
Ex-Dividend Date: February 27, 2025
Analyst Coverage: 14 analysts | Consensus: Buy
Performance: 1W: +14.37% | 1M: +12.29% | 3M: +2.93% | 6M: +6.48% | 1Y: -1.18%
Key Metrics: Forward P/E: 10.19 | Market Cap: $12.3B | 52W Range: $52.91 - $68.60 | 5Y Div CAGR: -3.33%
Analyst Insights: Molson Coors offers the highest dividend yield (3.04%) among the group with a manageable payout ratio of 35.14%. Recent strong momentum (+14.37% 1W, +12.29% 1M) and attractive valuation (Forward P/E: 10.19) suggest potential value opportunity. However, negative 5-year dividend CAGR (-3.33%) and modest cash flow ($130.2M) indicate potential challenges in dividend growth, despite solid operating income ($1.59B) and analyst optimism.
