69 August Aristocrats: Hormel Now 1 Of 2 Hot Dogs — Positive

HRL   Seeking Alpha — August 27, 2025

Four of the ten lowest priced Dividend Aristocrats - AMCR, BEN, HRL, and KVUE - currently offer attractive yields where $1K invested pays more than a single share price. Analyst forecasts project 14.67% to 32.06% net gains for the top ten Aristocrat Dogs by August 2026, with Amcor leading at 32.06%. Thirteen of sixty-nine Aristocrats have negative free cash flow margins, making their dividends less safe; only Hormel and Kenvue meet the 'safer' fair-price standard now.

EQT: Olympus Acquisition And Data Center Boom Key For Secular Growth — Positive

EQT   Seeking Alpha — August 27, 2025

Olympus Energy acquisition will boost EQT's FCF yield to 15% and deliver about $530 million in EBITDA up to 2027, mitigating volatility in natural gas prices. Two MVP projects will be pivotal for EQT to capitalize on the rising demand for LNG and expand its footprint in data center markets in the Carolinas and northern Virginia.

Ares Commercial: Dividend Cut Priced In — Negative

ACRE   Seeking Alpha — August 27, 2025

Ares Commercial failed to cover its dividend with distributable EPS in Q2'25 due to significant loan losses, mainly from its troubled office loan portfolio. Despite reducing office loan exposure, high non-accruals and realized loan losses continue to pressure earnings and dividend coverage ratios. ACRE shares trade at a steep 51% discount to NAV, reflecting persistent dividend underperformance and continual portfolio shrinkage risks.

IHY: This Bond ETF Qualifies As A Buy, Barely — Positive

IHY   Seeking Alpha — August 27, 2025

I rate IHY as a Buy, due to its strong historical outperformance of the core bond index by 285 basis points annually over 26 years. IHY offers solid diversification benefits, equity independence, and a higher yield compared to AGG, making it attractive for international fixed-income exposure. Despite its higher expense ratio and notable index lag, IHY's yield and inflation resilience outweigh these drawbacks for yield-seeking investors.
