Exxon Mobil Dives into “SAFE” Waters with Its Fat Dividend! ππ°
TL;DR: Exxon Mobil just clinched a spot on the “S.A.F.E. 25” list, boasting a juicy 6.0% yield and a swanky record of increasing dividends for over two decades! The big question is: Are you diving in or just dipping your toes? π€πΈ
When we think of safe spaces, perhaps a cuddly blanket fort comes to mind. But for investors, there’s a new kid on the block β the “S.A.F.E. 25” list. And guess whoβs flexing their muscles in the financial playpen? Exxon Mobil! π
Receiving accolades for their above-average “DividendRank” statistics and flaunting a robust 6.0% yield, Exxon Mobil isn’t just playing it safe; they’re playing to win. With a history of increasing those dividend payments for over 20 years, theyβve become the epitome of consistency in the dividend world. π
Hold up! Here’s where it gets interesting. π§ According to the ETF Finder, our dividend champ is a proud member of the iShares S&P 1500 Index ETF. And, for those keeping track at home, they represent a neat 2.55% of the SPDR S&P Dividend ETF, which is clutching a cool $503,351,692 worth of XOM shares. That’s not just chump change, that’s serious moolah! π΅
But letβs paint a picture to help put things into perspective. Imagine you were a teenager two decades ago. As you were trying to figure out which CD to buy (yes, CD, not streaming!), Exxon Mobil was just getting started on its impressive streak of raising dividends. Fast-forward to today, and while you might be grooving to tunes on your digital devices, Exxon Mobil is still making it rain with its increasing dividends! π§οΈπΏ
Now, we know the stock market isnβt a dance party, and picking stocks isn’t as easy as picking your next playlist song. But one has to wonder: With Exxon Mobil’s track record, is it the headliner we’ve been waiting for, or is it just the opening act? π€πΆ
