Daily Dividend Market Report July 21-24, 2026
Dividend increases/cuts: Regions Financial (RF) raised its quarterly dividend 13% to $0.30/share alongside a Q2 earnings beat reported this week, part of a strong showing from regional banks (Simply Wall St, Investing.com). Jefferies also turned bullish on four dividend-paying money-center banks after big Q2 results this week (24/7 Wall St.). No major dividend cuts or suspensions from prominent dividend payers surfaced in the last 24 hours; the notable suspension this month was a smaller name, BCB Bancorp, pausing its dividend reinvestment plan effective August 6 (SEC 8-K). Notable moves: Barclays is up 45% over the past year with analysts still projecting further upside and a roughly 3% dividend yield (ts2.tech). On the broad market, the Dow fell about 0.6% Tuesday on weakness in industrials and financials even as tech held up, while futures point to a stronger open today led by tech/semis (Investrade morning preview). Among dividend ETFs, SCHD continues to outperform VYM year-to-date (roughly 20.7% vs 13.4%), with a higher yield (about 3.2% vs 2.3%) (TipRanks). Verizon remains a standout high-yield telecom (yield above 6% after its dividend raise to $0.7075/share earlier this year), even after being dropped from the Dow in favor of Alphabet (24/7 Wall St.).

I hate Annuities.
There are so many reasons to avoid annuities. The fees, the lack of transparency, holding your money hopstage, and the crappy payout are just a few. When you compare off of this to a healthy dividend fund? There's no comparison. Would you rather own your assets or hand them to an insurance company?

The Dividend paycheck beats the annuity.
Nobody selling you an annuity is going to tell you this. Annuities get marketed as the “guaranteed” fix for retirement income — and the guarantee is real. But it’s bought with trade-offs that rarely get explained upfront: money locked up for 6–10 years, commissions built into the cost, and a fixed payment that quietly buys less every year as prices rise. I’m not saying annuities are the enemy. I’m saying you deserve to see the whole trade before you sign anything. There’s another way to build a retirement paycheck — one where your money stays in your name, keeps growing, and stays liquid. It’s called dividend income, and it’s the foundation of everything I teach.
