Honorable Mentions

BankUnited, Inc. (BKU) - Price Target: $42.00

Hold

BankUnited narrowly missed the top 5 despite solid fundamentals and consistent dividend growth. The Florida-based regional bank has demonstrated strong asset quality management and maintains a growing dividend program with 7.14% recent growth. While facing interest rate headwinds common to regional banks, BKU's conservative lending practices and strong capital position support continued dividend sustainability in a challenging rate environment.

Ex-Date: July 11, 2025 Yield: 3.26% Div Growth: 7.14%

Darden Restaurants, Inc. (DRI) - Price Target: $175.00

Buy

Darden, operator of Olive Garden and LongHorn Steakhouse, represents a unique dividend opportunity in the restaurant sector.

Buy
