While mostof Wall Street focuses on large-cap blue-chip companies because they offer safety and liquidity, many investors are limited in how many shares they can buy. Many of the most significant public companies, especially the technology giants, trade at prices of up to and over $1,000 per share, while others trade in the low to mid-hundreds. It is hard to get meaningful share-count leverage at those steep prices. Many growth and income investors, especially more aggressive investors, look to lower-priced stocks to generate good returns and increase their share count. That can help the decision-making process, especially when you are on to a winner, as you can always sell half and keep the rest.
Low-price stockskeptics should note that many of the world's largest companies, including Apple( NASDAQ: AAPL ), Amazon.com( NASDAQ: AMZN ), Netflix( NASDAQ: NFLX), and Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), have traded in the single digits at one time. We identified five stocks trading below $10 that offer investors substantial monthly, and in some cases ultra-high-yield, dividends. The added value is that if the stocks trade sideways, you still get a massive dividend for being patient. Four of the five have a Buy rating at top Wall Street firms.
In a worldwhere prices seem to rise consistently, a monthly check makes sense for many people with bills and expenses due every 30 days. Items such as mortgage payments, rent, utility bills, trash collection, and even grocery bills are due each month, and a steady stream of monthly passive income can significantly help meet those obligations.
