| 5 Ideal 'Safer' Dividend Buys From Bloomberg's May Watchlist |
I analyze 50 Bloomberg 'Companies to Watch' for 2025, focusing on the 35 that pay dividends and applying the yield-based dogcatcher strategy. 15 of these dividend payers are 'safer' stocks, with free cash flow yields exceeding dividend yields—five are IDEAL candidates for watch-to-buy. Top ten dividend dogs offer estimated average net gains of 21.33% for the coming year, but investors should beware of cash-poor stocks with negative free cash flow margins. |

Bank OZK is a U.S. regional bank with 73% of the loan portfolio allocated to real estate financing. Preferred dividends were well-covered by net income in 2024 and Q1 2025.
