The screens highlight payouts above 5% as investors hunt durable cash flow this quarter. Per the Motley Fool, dividend ETFs yielding over 4% are also drawing retiree attention this month.
Key Takeaways
- Hormel Foods yields 5.51% despite recent analyst target cuts to $22 and $23.
- T. Rowe Price yields 5.03% with $1.83 trillion in AUM as of April 2026.

Hormel and T. Rowe Anchor the Income Screens
As reported by Insider Monkey, Hormel Foods (HRL) carries a 5.51% dividend yield on its current share price. The branded food company operates three segments covering Retail, Foodservice, and International channels worldwide.
Analyst sentiment has softened slightly into the print. According to Insider Monkey, Stephens cut its HRL target to $22 from $27 on May 21, with an Equal Weight rating.
Bank of America moved in the same direction earlier in the month. Per Insider Monkey, BofA lowered its Hormel target to $23 from $27 on May 15 and kept Neutral.
Investors weighing income alongside Hormel can also consider managed-care peer Cigna (CI) for healthcare exposure. Cigna often appears on broader high-yield screens for retirees seeking sector diversification.
The asset manager peer also screened well on yield. According to Insider Monkey, T. Rowe Price (TROW) offers a 5.03% annual dividend yield backed by retirement-heavy flows.
Assets under management remain a structural support. Per Insider Monkey, TROW reported $1.83 trillion in AUM for April 2026, up from $1.71 trillion in March.
Equity and multi-asset franchises continue to gather assets. As reported by Insider Monkey, equity AUM climbed to $882 billion while multi-asset AUM reached $665 billion in April.
About two-thirds of TROW assets remain tied to retirement clients. According to Insider Monkey, target-date retirement portfolios alone accounted for roughly $599 billion of total AUM.
One soft spot is net flow. According to Insider Monkey, TROW posted $10.6 billion in net outflows during April despite the rising AUM base.
ETFs Round Out the Retirement Income Toolkit
Income-focused exchange-traded funds offered another route. According to the Motley Fool, the SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 High Dividend ETF yields 4.5% and trades around $47.71 per share.
Low-volatility screens are also yielding above the broader market. Per the Motley Fool, the SPDR fund equal-weights 80 of the highest-yielding S&P 500 names.
Another option screens for low volatility on top of yield. As reported by the Motley Fool, the Invesco S&P 500 High Dividend Low Volatility ETF yields 4.6% at $50.45.
A stricter dividend growth screen captures Achievers names. Per the Motley Fool, the Invesco High Yield Equity Dividend Achievers ETF requires 10 years of dividend growth.
The common thread across these names is yield resilience over price upside. Income hunters can pair single stocks like HRL and TROW with ETFs for retirement diversification.
