Preferred Share Dividends

Preferred stock is considered a hybrid security and features properties of both equity and debt. In exchange for a higher place in the bankruptcy ladder, preferred stock often comes with no voting rights. However, the security type features a par value as well as a higher dividend than common stock. That dividend must be paid before any dividends are declared on common stock. To access preferred stock, investors can purchase mutual funds and ETFs that track indices following the sector. They can also invest in individual preferred shares. The securities listed in this page are organized into two tables. The stock table includes relevant preferred shares and the funds table includes relevant exchange-traded funds (ETFs) and institutional share class mutual funds. All are exchange-listed or domiciled in the United States. Dividend.com Premium members have access to premium data within each table. Premium data includes stock ratings (scored out of 5) for overall dividend quality, yield attractiveness, dividend reliability, earnings growth, valuation and price momentum in addition to payout estimates for future dividends. Premium data is blocked for public users. The tables are sorted in a descending order by current dividend yield. About this page + View less
