BREAKING: MARKET DOWN OVER 500 POINTS

(Safety Could Be The Move...Dividends? Gold?)

DIVIDEND ACCELERATORS WEEKLY: May 5th

Cross-Sector Dividend Leaders: Energy, Healthcare, and Banking

Editor's Note: In today's uncertain market environment, dividend-paying stocks with defensive business models offer both income and stability. This report highlights three compelling opportunities: AT&T's streamlined telecom focus with strong cash flow, Verizon's premium 5.94% yield backed by operational improvements, and Dollar General's potential turnaround story with recent momentum. All three stocks provide attractive dividends and relative insulation from broader market volatility, making them worthy considerations for income-focused portfolios.

A trusted partner has just released time-sensitive research that I believe warrants your immediate attention.

AT&T Inc. (T)

Analyst Coverage: 17 analysts
Consensus: Buy
AT&T has transformed into a focused telecommunications provider after divesting its media assets including DirecTV and Time Warner. This strategic pivot has strengthened its core 5G wireless and fiber broadband businesses, resulting in impressive subscriber growth with 1.7 million postpaid phone and 1.1 million fiber net additions in 2024. The company's streamlined operations have significantly improved cash flow generation, with FCF rising to $17.6 billion in 2024 (up 5% year-over-year), more than double its annual dividend commitment of $8.2 billion. AT&T's defensive business model provides stability during market volatility and tariff uncertainty, making it an attractive safe haven stock. Recent network investments support its competitive position, with management expecting mobility service revenue to grow at the higher end of 2-3% and fiber broadband revenue to increase in the mid-teens for 2025.

Verizon Communications Inc. (VZ)

Analyst Coverage: 13 analysts
Consensus: Buy
Verizon represents a compelling high-yield dividend opportunity with its 5.94% yield and consistent dividend growth track record. The company has demonstrated significant financial improvement with net income growing 50.73% year-over-year, providing strong coverage for its dividend with a 65.46% payout ratio. As a defensive telecommunications provider, Verizon offers portfolio protection amid tariff-related market volatility due to its domestic focus and essential service nature. The company generates exceptional cash flow with $36.9 billion in operating cash flow, supporting both dividend sustainability and its ongoing deleveraging efforts. Verizon's strategic investments in 5G infrastructure position it favorably in the competitive wireless landscape, while its value-focused approach and network reliability continue to attract a stable subscriber base. Management's disciplined capital allocation balances shareholder returns with network investments and debt reduction targets.

Dollar General Corporation (DG)

Analyst Coverage: 22 analysts
Consensus: Buy
Dollar General presents a potential turnaround opportunity with its discount retail business poised to benefit from potential tariff-driven consumer trade-down behavior. The company offers a solid 2.50% dividend yield with an impressive 12.32% 5-year dividend CAGR, supported by a moderate 46.18% payout ratio. Despite facing significant headwinds over the past year with a 39.05% stock price decline, DG has shown remarkable recovery momentum recently with shares up 27.27% in the last month. The company's extensive rural store footprint provides a unique competitive advantage with limited direct competition in many markets. Dollar General maintains solid financial flexibility with $932.6 million in cash against manageable debt levels. While recent operational challenges have pressured earnings, with net income declining 32.27% year-over-year, management's focus on inventory management and operational improvements appears to be gaining traction based on recent stock performance.

Warning: "DOGE Collapse" imminent

Nine Stocks To Buy Before The DOGE COLLPSE

After two months of cost-cutting, controversy and almost constant media attention...

We're now just days away from a shocking new twist in the DOGE story.

I call it the "DOGE Collapse."

And it's going to have dramatic implications for the stock market.

Just days after Elon came to Washington in January, I shared a "Ted Talk"-style presentation revealing DOGE's real agenda.

So far, more than 1.5 million people have viewed that video... and almost everything I predicted has come true.

Elon has moved to run the government like a technology start up - moving fast, breaking things, and using AI to automate whatever he can.

But that's all merely been the opening move in a much grander master plan...

What comes next is the COLLAPSE.

Right now, almost no one is ready for it.

But when it hits, the panic we've seen in the stock market in recent weeks could morph into something much more disturbing.

Today I'd like to help you prepare... while there's still time.

Here's everything you need to know.

DOGE Collapse
