13 Super-Safe Dividend Stocks to Buy Now
The stock market's major indices are at or near all-time highs, and as stocks go up, dividend yields go down. As a result, many of the best dividend stocks to buy right now sport relatively modest yields.That's OK. Because your focus also should be on dividend safety and payout growth that will enhance your yield over time.Not every stock has been caught up in 2019's surge to new peaks. GameStop (GME), CenturyLink (CTL), Vodafone (VOD), Pitney Bowes (PBI), L Brands (LB), Deutsche Bank (DB) - all of these well-known companies have either cut or outright suspended their dividends this year. Those moves were a blow to all existing shareholders, but especially those who were relying on the income from these sometimes generous dividend payers to tackle regular expenses in retirement.How do you ensure the dividend stocks you're invested in won't do the same? One way is to monitor the DIVCON system from exchange-traded fund provider Reality Shares. DIVCON's methodology uses a five-tier rating to provide a snapshot of companies' dividend health, where DIVCON 5 indicates the highest probability for a dividend increase, and DIVCON 1 the highest probability for a dividend cut. And within each of these ratings is a composite score determined by cash flow, earnings, stock buybacks and other factors.These are 13 of the safest dividend stocks to buy right now. Each stock has not only achieved a DIVCON 5 score, but a composite score within the top 15 of all stocks that DIVCON has evaluated. This makes them the crème de la crème of dividend safety - and more likely to keep the dividend increases coming going forward. SEE ALSO: 25 Stocks Every Retiree Should Own

Vijay Sankaran, chief information officer at TD Ameritrade, says the slimmed down capabilities of Google Home were partly down to the firm's experience of how clients used Alexa, Apple Business Chat and Facebook Messenger.

TD’s Margins Squeezed as Earnings Miss Analysts’ Estimates
(Bloomberg) -- Toronto-Dominion Bank’s margins are starting to shrink.Toronto-Dominion -- the Canadian bank known for fat net interest margins, the difference between what a bank charges for loans and pays for deposits -- saw them narrow on both sides of the border in the fiscal third quarter, with a decline of 11 basis points from the previous three months at its U.S. retail division and a 3 basis point drop at its domestic personal and commercial bank.“Interest rates in the U.S. have been declining, and so we see a little bit of a decline due to the interest rate environment,” Chief Financial Officer Riaz Ahmed said Thursday in a phone interview. There are “also some effects of our balance sheet mix as we continue to originate deposits and the reinvestment opportunities are at lower returns.”While Canada’s second-largest lender typically benefits from the widest domestic net interest margins among its peers, the advantage may be dissipating. Margins in the Canadian personal-and-commercial division dropped to 2.84%, while its U.S. margin shrunk to 3.27%, the lowest since the second quarter of 2018.Still, Toronto-Dominion Bank posted record profit in the quarter ended July 31, with new benchmarks in both its Canadian and U.S. retail operations, though earnings missed analysts’ expectations. Overall net income rose 4.6% to C$3.25 billion, or C$1.74 a share, and adjusted earnings of C$1.79 a share were less than the C$1.80 average estimate of 13 analysts in a Bloomberg survey.“Overall, the results came in slightly below expectations despite a strong trading quarter that reminds us of the volatility of this line for this bank,” CIBC Capital Markets analyst Robert Sedran said in a note. “The strain from the lower interest rate environment was evident as it was for other banks this quarter.”Shares of Toronto-Dominion rose 0.4% to C$72.31 at 9:35 a.m. in Toronto. The stock has increased 6.5% this year, outperforming the 4.9% gain for the eight-company S&P/TSX Commercial Banks Index.‘Better Performance’If interest rates continue to decline, “it’s terrific for the economy and the consumers, so we could see much better performance on volumes as well as credit, but it would obviously have a downward bias on margins,” Ahmed said.The latest earnings report showed that Toronto-Dominion is getting spending under control after three quarters in which expense growth outstripped revenue gains. That trend ended in the third quarter, with non-interest expenses rising 4.7% from a year earlier, less than the 6.1% increase in revenue, which reached a record C$10.5 billion.Also in the report:Toronto-Dominion may have more bank branches in the U.S. than Canada, but the lender’s domestic business generates more profit. Canadian banking posted a 2.2% increase in earnings, to C$1.42 billion. Profit at the U.S. retail division, which includes contributions from online brokerage TD Ameritrade, rose 13% to C$1.29 billion.The bank’s TD Securities unit had been a disappointment this year, with a net loss in the first quarter and a 17% earnings decline in the second quarter, making it the worst-performing Toronto-Dominion division. The capital-markets unit rebounded in the third quarter, with earnings rising 9.4% as trading revenue surged. Trading-related income jumped to C$500 million, up 82% from a year earlier, led by interest rate and credit trading.(Updates with shares in seventh paragraph.)To contact the reporter on this story: Doug Alexander in Toronto at dalexander3@bloomberg.netTo contact the editors responsible for this story: Michael J.
