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

Published: July 17, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
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.

TEGNA: Cost Controls And Potential Dealmaking Make Shares Attractive
TGNA
Published: May 16, 2025 by: Seeking Alpha
Sentiment: Positive

TEGNA Inc. remains a buy despite recent underperformance, supported by solid cash flow, cost cuts, and potential M&A upside as regulatory changes loom. Political and advertising revenue headwinds are cyclical, so I value TEGNA on multi-year free cash flow, not single-year results.
