Three passive income stocks to own for life: Retirees


retirees and finances

In retirement, it is crucial to balance a stable stream of passive income and downside risk protection. You want to own stock investments with have strong balance sheets, good management, inflation-hedged growth, and well-covered dividends. A portfolio with diverse exposure to a variety of sectors and stocks is ideal. Here are three TSX stocks that deliver great passive income streams, a low-risk profile, and are ideal for a long-term buy-and-hold strategy.

solid portfolio anchor

Canadian banks are well-capitalized and highly regulated, so they have been a reliable investment over the years. One bank that looks well-positioned is Toronto-Dominion Bank (TSX:TD)(NYSE:TD). It is one of Canada’s largest retail banks, but it also has a strong presence in the United States.

Coming out of the pandemic, TD has a very strong balance sheet and lots of excess capital. Once regulators allow, it should be able to raise its dividend significantly. Similarly, excess capital could be deployed into growth and acquisition opportunities in its U.S. franchise.

Since interest rates are expected to rise, that should also be favourable in expanding TD’s net interest margins and enhancing earnings returns. Every quarter, TD pays a $0.79 per share dividend. That is a nice passive income stream that equals a 3.5% dividend yield right now.

leading infrastructure stock for passive income growth

Another stock you can rely on for passive income is Fortis (TSX:FTS)(NYSE:FTS). Modern society relies on power transmission and natural gas pipelines to heat and power our homes and businesses. Fortis owns and operates transmission infrastructure across North America. These assets capture reliable, regulated streams of income, which it passes through to its shareholders.

Fortis is down 5% from highs set in August. It pays a 3.9% dividend right now. That is equal to $0.535 per share every quarter. The great news is that it has raised its dividend annually for 47 consecutive years.

Not only that, but it expects to keep growing that dividend by an annual rate of 6% all the way until 2025. For defence and dividend growth, this is a great passive income stock to own for retirement.

top real estate stock for passive income

Real estate is a great asset to buy and hold for passive income for the long term. Owning a rental property can be a real pain, so why not just own a high-quality real estate investment trust (REIT) like Granite REIT (TSX:GRT.UN)?

With Granite, you get institutional-grade industrial and logistics properties across Canada, the United States, and Europe. You also get a top-tiered management team and one of the best, low-levered balance sheets among Canadian peers.

Truly, this stock is the best way to earn passive income from real estate. Industrial real estate is seeing some very strong tailwinds from e-commerce and manufacturing on-shoring. Since the pandemic, industrial and logistics properties have enjoyed very strong demand. Granite has been seeing steady rental growth and very high occupancy.

Granite pays a 3% dividend today. That works out to a distribution of $0.25 per unit every month. It has raised that dividend every year for the past nine years. Given the strength in its operations, chances are good it will raise that dividend again this year and likely for years ahead. Forget a rental property and just buy this REIT. Chances are good it will be less hassle and the returns will be even better.

Get Rich With These High-Yield Canadian Dividend Stocks

Dividend stocks are one of the smartest ways to create wealth in the long term. By investing in dividend-paying stocks, one can generate returns in two ways: dividends and capital appreciation. As top dividend-paying companies generally have well-established businesses and a growing earnings base, they generate steady capital gains in the long term. Further, the reinvestment of dividends allows investors to accumulate more shares and create wealth in the long term.  With this background, let’s zoom in on three high-yield Canadian stocks that can help you get rich over time.  Enbridge  Enbridge (TSX:ENB) is a must-have dividend stock, and there are solid reasons behind that.

How much dividend income can you earn?

Passive income. It’s one of the most common financial goals for Canadian investors. Everybody likes making money on a stock trade, but what could be better than a stock that pays you income year in and year out? Such are the kinds of stocks that Warren Buffett and other long-term investors made their fortunes on. This raises a question: Is it possible to make a truly substantial amount of money – let’s say $1,000 per month – with just dividend stocks? Such a thing would be very helpful if it could be done. Consider that, $1,000 per month is more than what the average Canadian gets from the Canada Pension Plan (CPP). If you take the average CPP payment ($811) and add $1,000 per month in dividend income to it, you get to a sum of money that could potentially pay all of your bills. In this article, I will explore the topic of making money with dividend stocks. I will show how much money you’d need to invest to get $1,000 a month in dividend income. I will reveal a stock that...
