45 Barron's 2025 Mid-Year Pro-Picks: 3 Ideal July DiviDogs

Sentiment: Positive

I analyze Barron's Mid-Year 2025 Roundtable Pro Picks using the yield-based 'dogcatcher' method to identify high-yield, safer dividend stocks. AT&T, Tegna, and Pitney Bowes stand out as 'safer' dividend dogs, with prices below annual dividends from $1,000 invested, signaling attractive entry points. The top ten high-yield picks offer projected 24.3% average net gains by July 2026, with lower-than-market volatility, but some face negative free cash flow margins.

Golden Entertainment: Downgrade Misses The Forest For The Trees
GDEN
Published: July 17, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Neutral

Golden Entertainment's deleveraging and strong cash flow support robust buybacks and dividends, offering at least 7% annual shareholder returns even in conservative scenarios. Despite a downgrade from Truist Securities citing Strat weakness and muted M&A prospects, I maintain my $32 price target and 'Buy' rating, seeing the downgrade as an opportunity. Q2 headwinds are real but manageable; room occupancy and slot performance show resilience, and FCF coverage for dividends and buybacks remains solid under all scenarios.
