Iowa First Bancshares Corp. Reports Third Quarter Financial Results and Dividend Payment
Iowa First Bancshares Corp.

During the quarter ending September 30, 2020, the company experienced an increase in noninterest income of $358,000 (41.4%) when compared to the same quarter in 2019.

Costco Wholesale Corporation Could Soon Pay Special Dividend: Analyst
Analyst Forecasts: Costco Wholesale Corporation Could Soon Pay Special Dividend
For the past year, I have been predicting that Costco Wholesale Corporation (Nasdaq: COST) would soon issue a special dividend. Now it seems some folks on Wall Street are starting to agree with me.
In October, the retail giant posted September sales results that crushed analysts’ expectations. Company-wide same-store sales, which measure the change in revenues at locations opened for at least one year, spiked 15%. This report closely followed blowout earnings results in September, when Costco posted record quarterly profits. (Source: “Costco Wholesale Corporation Reports September Sales Results,” The Wall Street Journal, October 7, 2020.)
Those earnings, one expert believes,... more

JPMorgan Chase & Co.: A Rare Opportunity for Dividend Investors?
Blue-Chip Stock Offering a Discount?
If you’ve been hunting for yield, you’ve probably noticed that the biggest payouts are often found among beaten-down stocks. The reason is simple: at a given cash dividend payout, a company’s dividend yield moves inversely to its share price.
The problem is, stocks often plunge for a reason. And if you are a risk-averse investor like me, you wouldn’t consider most of the down-and-out high yielders to be the safest bets.
However, in today’s extraordinary environment, even blue-chip companies could be trading at a discount. And if these companies can maintain their dividend in the economic downturn, the pullback in their share prices could represent an opportunity for income investors.

The company has performed well despite one of the more complex regulatory and price-specific situation in years.
Fortum deserves a place in an international dividend investor's portfolio, and is currently a "BUY" at undervaluation.
It's been a while since I updated my thesis on Fortum (OTCPK: FOJCF) (OTCPK: FOJCY). Since the pandemic, I've focused mostly on other companies while my Fortum stake mostly has been in a holding position. I thought it relevant to... more
