But its current operating margins are above historic levels and close to its all-time highs -- which is crucial, because Coke&#39;s revenues are still down from their early 2010s peaks.</p><p>Coke is truly a global brand. In Q2, only 46% of regional revenue and 31.8% of non-corporate regional operating income came from North America. The U.S. soda segment is still the single most important part of Coke&#39;s business -- but it no longer makes or breaks the company.</p><p>In sum, Coke is a well-run, high-margin, diversified company that you can count on for dividend growth.

When investors think of cyclical stocks, they usually associate them with volatile revenue and earnings, which means their dividend payments can be erratic. </p><p>However, the reality is that Caterpillar has increased its dividend for the last 29 years in a row.

The management team of its key rival, <strong>Komatsu</strong>, has already spoken of improving momentum in mining machinery sales this year.</p><p>Moreover, Caterpillar&#39;s current dividend payout of around $2.5 billion is easily covered by the $4 billion to $8 billion that management expects to generate in free cash flow through the economic cycle. It all adds up to a company with plenty of potential to grow its dividends for many years to come.</p><h2 id=\"id_3602643936\">Leggett &amp; Platt is an ultra-high-yield dividend stock available on sale</h2><p><strong>Scott Levine (Leggett &amp; Platt): </strong>It&#39;s not easy to find a way to get paid for doing nothing. But Leggett &amp; Platt right now offers investors an opportunity to procure prodigious amounts of passive income.</p><p>For more than 50 consecutive years, the company has increased the amount of capital it returns to shareholders via the dividend. Currently, the stock is in ultra-high-yield territory with a forward dividend yield of 6.3%. Pair that with the stock&#39;s inexpensive valuation and a conservative payout ratio and it&#39;s obvious why Leggett &amp; Platt is a great choice for income investors.</p><p>Founded in 1883, Leggett &amp; Platt has grown considerably from its origins as a bedspring manufacturer. Today, it&#39;s a diversified manufacturer. While beds and bedding components remain the company&#39;s bread and butter, representing about 42% of sales, it also generates significant revenues from the manufacture of products and components for the automotive, flooring, furniture, and textile industries.</p><p>Trading at 14.4 times earnings, Leggett &amp; Platt might not immediately seem like a screaming buy, but take into consideration the fact that its 5-year average price-to-earnings ratio is 17.6, and its current valuation seems a lot more appealing. For those less concerned with the stock&#39;s price tag and more focused on whether its ultra-high-yield dividend is sustainable, it&#39;s important to note management&#39;s reserved approach. Over the past 10 years, Leggett &amp; Platt has averaged a payout ratio of 68%. </p></body></html>","source":"fool_stock","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>3 Passive Income Powerhouses With 20-Plus Years of Dividend Raises</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\n3 Passive Income Powerhouses With 20-Plus Years of Dividend Raises\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n2023-10-13 08:02 GMT+8&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=https://www.fool.com/investing/2023/10/12/3-passive-income-powerhouses-dividend-raise-stock/><strong>Motley Fool</strong></a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<div>\n<p>In today's uncertain market, investors may find comfort in holding dividend stocks -- especially when they are reliable payers that have raised their payouts annually for at least the last 20 years....</p>\n\n<a href=\"https://www.fool.com/investing/2023/10/12/3-passive-income-powerhouses-dividend-raise-stock/\">Web Link</a>\n\n</div>\n\n\n</article>\n</div>\n</body>\n</html>\n","type":0,"thumbnail":"","relate_stocks":{"KO":"可口可乐","CAT":"卡特彼勒","LEG":"礼恩派"},"source_url":"https://www.fool.com/investing/2023/10/12/3-passive-income-powerhouses-dividend-raise-stock/","is_english":true,"share_image_url":"https://static.laohu8.com/e9f99090a1c2ed51c021029395664489","article_id":"2374895429","content_text":"In today's uncertain market, investors may find comfort in holding dividend stocks -- especially when they are reliable payers that have raised their payouts annually for at least the last 20 years.The last two decades have featured a slew of events that triggered major market sell-offs, including the financial crisis, a U.S.-China trade war, the pandemic, and last year's steep surge in inflation (and the Fed's response to it).Yet through it all, Coca-Cola, Caterpillar, and Leggett & Platt raised their payouts every single year.
