RRSP Investing: Two cheap Canadian dividend stock to buy at the dip


value for money

The latest market correction gives Canadian savers another opportunity to buy great TSX dividend stocks at discounted prices for their self-directed Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) portfolios. Buying stocks during a downturn takes courage, but a contrarian strategy can boost RRSP returns in the long run.

Bank of Montreal

Bank of Montreal (TSX:BMO) has paid investors a dividend every year for nearly two centuries. That’s an amazing track record that is expected to continue. The long history of reliability also shows that Bank of Montreal can ride out challenging economic times.

The stock currently trades for close to $121 per share compared to the 12-month high around $140 we saw last spring.

Bank stocks are down due to rising recession fears and the recent failures of some regional banks in the United States. Bank of Montreal actually completed its US$16.3 billion acquisition of California-based Bank of the West earlier this year right before the meltdown of another bank based in the state. Investors might be concerned that BMO Harris Bank, the U.S. subsidiary, paid too much. That could be the case, but investors should see long-term benefits from the acquisition that gives BMO a foothold in the massive California market and adds more than 500 branches to the American business.

Investors who buy the stock at the current price can get a 4.7% dividend yield.

Telus

Telus (TSX:T) should be a good stock to own during a recession. The communications firm provides Canadian residential and commercial customers with mobile and internet services that are required regardless of the state of the economy. On the residential side, people are also likely to cut other discretionary spending before they axe their spending on their TV and streaming services. In fact, trips to the movies and restaurants will typically be replaced by movie nights at home when budgets get tight.

Telus doesn’t have a media division. This hasn’t held back growth in recent years and will likely insulate the business from some of the challenges that its peers might face as companies cut marketing budgets and reduce advertising on radio and TV networks.

Telus trades near $28.50 at the time of writing. That’s down from more than $34 at the 12-month peak.

The pullback appears overdone when you look at the 2022 results and the 2023 guidance. Telus generated solid earnings and free cash flow last year and expects operating revenue to jump 11% in 2023. Free cash flow is expected to surge from $1.3 billion in 2022 to $2 billion in 2023.

This should ensure another round of generous dividend increases. Telus typically raises the dividend by 7-10% per year. At the time of writing, investors can get a 4.9% dividend yield.

The bottom line on top stocks for retirement plans

Bank of Montreal and Telus pay attractive dividends that should continue to grow. If you have some cash to put to work in a self-directed RRSP, these stocks deserve to be on your radar.

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. Besides offering a lucrative yield of 6.7% (based on its closing price of $53.14 on May 10), the company has a resilient business that consistently delivers steady growth.  Enbridge owns extensive midstream assets and transports oil and gas. In addition, Enbridge has interests in renewable energy faci...

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...
