TROW

Asset manager dividends look safe until a bear market hits and fee revenue collapses with asset prices.

I initiated a starter position in T. Rowe Price (TROW), attracted by its S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrat status and 40 years of dividend growth. TROW is expanding beyond actively managed mutual funds by acquiring F/m Investments, significantly increasing its ETF offerings, especially in fixed income. Despite persistent net outflows from mutual funds, TROW's AUM has rebounded, and the current 4.96% yield is historically attractive.

T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. TROW reported preliminary assets under management (AUM) of $1.90 trillion as of Aug. 31, 2026, reflecting a 1.6% increase from the prior month despite $7.9 billion in net outflows.

Four dividend stocks are hitting their ex-date deadlines this week, and for one of them, the window to collect the next payment slams shut at today's closing bell.

T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. TROW is expanding its active exchange-traded fund (ETF) offerings with the launch of the T. Rowe Price Securitized Income ETF (TSCZ).

Financial stocks are the first to crack when markets panic, yet a handful of them kept handing investors bigger checks through both the 2008 meltdown and the 2020 shock.

Does TROW offer better value than KKR, with a lower P/E, higher dividend yield and growing exposure to alternatives? Let us find out.

I present my August top 5 dividend picks: PRGO, MZTI, NEE, TROW, and VICI, all rated Buy or Strong Buy for rising income and appreciation. Each pick trades at a significant discount to fair value (average 21.5%), offering an expected 5-year compound annual total return of ~12.5% and a 5.22% yield. PRGO, MZTI, and VICI stand out for deep undervaluation and robust dividend growth, with VICI offering a projected 15.8% CAGR and strong inflation-linked lease structures.

T. Rowe Price's F/m Investments deal could accelerate fixed-income growth by expanding its ETF and SMA offerings.

Every month, we screen for high-yield dividend growth stocks with safety, growth and consistency as part of the screening process. This process often results in several REITs making the top of the list thanks to the structure requiring paying out most of their earnings. With that, we have a new REIT name making the list this month, one that has now been growing its dividend for the last few years, again.
