Gotrade News - February 2026 is shaping up to be a pivotal month for income investors eyeing the US market. Three major heavyweights are expected to announce cash dividend hikes in the very near future.
This move signals robust cash flow health despite the constantly shifting economic tides. You need to keep an eye on current valuation levels before diving in to build your position.
Key Takeaways:
-
Coca-Cola and Domino's Pizza are predicted to announce dividend hikes in February 2026.
-
Texas Instruments aims to return 100% of free cash flow to shareholders.
-
All three stocks are currently trading near or below their fair value estimates.
Coca-Cola keeps its crown as a dividend king with a track record of 63 consecutive years of hikes. Morningstar analysts suggest the official annual dividend boost is dropping this month.
The payout ratio has cooled down to under 70% after a brief spike in the previous period. Morningstar data puts the stock trading right around its fair value estimate of $74.
Domino’s Pizza brings an aggressive dividend growth narrative to the table, even if the current yield looks modest. Morningstar reports a solid 18.4% annualized dividend growth over the last five years.
Domino's financial muscle allows for double-digit hikes without messing up operational stability. The stock is currently trading at a 5% discount to its $436 fair value.
Texas Instruments is closing in on dividend aristocrat status, driven by management's laser focus on cash returns. The team plans to distribute all free cash flow—minus debt repayments—back to shareholders.
Morningstar analysts just bumped the fair value estimate to $210 following a solid Q4 performance. This valuation hike reflects the company's strong guidance and operational efficiency.
The mix of strong fundamentals makes these three a compelling watch for high dividend yield stocks. This February momentum could be the strategic entry point your long-term portfolio needs.
