For comparison, the same investment in an S&P 500 Index Fund would produce only about $60 of annual dividend income, given the broad market index’s current yield of around 1.2%.

Here’s a look at what makes these companies ideal for those seeking to collect passive income.

Enbridge is a leading North American pipeline and utility operator. The company’s businesses produce very stable cash flow backed by long-term, fixed-rate contracts and government-regulated rate structures. It pays 60% to 70% of its steady cash flow in dividends.

The energy company reinvests the rest into expanding its infrastructure network. It currently has tens of billions of dollars in capital projects under construction that will enter commercial service through the end of the decade. That gives it a lot of visibility into its ability to grow its cash flow in the future. Enbridge’s growing cash flow should give it more fuel to increase its dividend. The company has raised its payout for 29 straight years, one of the longest streaks in the energy sector.

Vici Properties is a leading real estate investment trust (REIT) focused on experiential properties in the gaming, leisure, and hospitality sectors. It signs long-term net leases for these properties with high-quality operating companies. Those leases supply Vici Properties with very stable rental income that steadily rises with inflation-linked rental rate increases.

The REIT pays about 75% of its stable cash flow in dividends, retaining the rest to help fund new investments. It will acquire experiential properties and provide funding to companies developing new properties, many of which it can acquire in the future. Those investments grow its income, enabling the REIT to increase its dividend. It has raised its payout in all seven years since its formation, growing it at a peer-leading 7% annual rate.

Over 900 mobile home owners in Sweetwater, Florida handed move-out notices amid plans to transform park

Over 900 mobile home owners in Sweetwater, Florida handed move-out notices amid plans to transform park Residents of Li'l Abner Mobile Home Park in Sweetwater, Florida, were recently notified that they'll need to find somewhere else to live and quickly. The community of more than 900 mobile homes, together housing roughly 2,000 to 3,000 people per the mayor's estimate, will close in May 2025 to make way for new affordable and workforce housing. Mobile home owners usually own the home but rent the land it stands on. The land owner in this case, CREI Holdings, says it will provide a financial incentive of $14,000 to residents who leave by January 31, 2025. Those who leave by March 31 or April 30, will receive $7,000 and $3,000, respectively, though many tenants say it's not enough time or money, according to a […]

Judge denies motion to ease house arrest of Jon Jacobo

A San Francisco judge on Thursday denied a motion to loosen the home detention conditions forJon Jacobo, a once-rising star in San Francisco’s politics who was arrested on Aug. 5 for alleged sexual assault. “The motion is denied to the extent that it asks for relief from home detention and [ankle] monitoring,” said San Francisco Superior Court judge Kenneth Wine this morning. “It’s the seriousness of the charges that’s really driving my decision. There are a number of victims with very serious charges.”Jacobo, a longtime Mission District community leader, was first publicly accused of rape in 2021. This April, he resigned from his executive position at affordable-housing developer TODCO, soon after three women accused him of rape and abuse in a San Francisco Standard story. He was arrested on Aug. 5, 2024. Jacobo today showed up in the courtroom in casual clothes […]

US airline flight crews confident and angry as unions seek richer contracts

By Rajesh Kumar Singh CHICAGO (Reuters) - Alaska Airlines flight attendant Rebecca Owens works 10 hours a day but only gets paid for half that time - a legacy of a common U.S. airline policy to pay cabin crew members only when planes are in motion. Owens, and thousands of cabin crew like her, wants that to change. In August, 68% of Alaska flight attendants in a ratification vote rejected a contract that would have increased average pay by 32% over three years. It was also the first labor agreement that would have legally required airlines to start the clock for paying flight attendants when passengers are boarding, not when the flight starts to taxi down the runway. Delta Air Lines, the only major U.S. airline whose flight attendants are not in a union, instituted boarding pay for its flight […]

Airbus CEO says Spirit Aero talks going well but industrial challenges lie ahead

By Tim Hepher BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The head of European planemaker Airbus said talks to finalise the takeover of part of troubled U.S. aerostructures supplier Spirit Aerosystems were going smoothly but that bringing it into Airbus would "not be a walk in the park". Airbus plans to take over the running of four Spirit plants associated with its A350 and A220 jetliner programmes as part of a loosely coordinated plan to carve up the company with Boeing, which is buying back almost all the rest of its former unit. The rare act of cooperation between business foes reflects concerns that the rapid decline of one of the industry's key suppliers, spun off from Boeing almost 20 years ago, could have spread havoc through the world's largest planemakers. Because the plants lose money, Spirit has agreed to pay $559 million to […]
