Volatility is currently expanding
During times of turbulence and uncertainty in the markets, many investors turn to dividend-yielding stocks. These are often companies that have high free cash flows and reward shareholders with a high dividend payout.
Here at Zacks, our focus is on the proven Zacks Rank system, which emphasizes earnings estimates and estimate revisions to find great stocks. Nevertheless, we are always paying attention to the latest value, growth, and momentum trends to underscore strong picks.
Five dividend stocks go ex-dividend next week, and missing the cutoff by even one day forfeits the payment entirely. Two of them carry yields above 16%, but their coverage numbers tell a very different story than the headline rates suggest.
I track dividend announcements across 1,200+ stocks. This week, I'm highlighting 12 dividend increases and 2 specials. LECO stands out with a 10.13% dividend increase, the highest Quality Score (8.54), and a 30-year streak, though it trades at fair value. IBKR posted a 71.43% dividend hike and leads in Dividend Safety (9.2), but offers a low 0.73% forward yield and weak financial strength.
NEW YORK, Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- WhiteHorse Finance, Inc. ("WhiteHorse Finance" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: WHF) today announced that its board of directors has declared a special distribution of $0.17 per share, which will be payable on December 10, 2026 to stockholders of record as of October 30, 2026. Distributions are paid from taxable earnings and may include a return of capital and/or capital gains.
WhiteHorse Finance is rated Hold due to ongoing underfunded dividends and lack of near-term catalysts for a valuation re-rating. WHF trades at a 40% discount to NAV with a 15% yield, but persistent NII shortfall and risk of further dividend cuts weigh on upside. Future NII growth depends on asset sales (notably Starco), Outward Hound's return to accrual status, and increased loan origination volume.
WhiteHorse (WHF) witnessed a jump in share price last session on above-average trading volume. The latest trend in earnings estimate revisions for the stock suggests that there could be more strength down the road.
WhiteHorse Finance NASDAQ: WHF reported second-quarter core net investment income of $4.7 million, or $0.217 per share, down from $5.6 million, or $0.253 per share, in the first quarter. The company said the decline reflected a smaller average portfolio and the first-quarter move of its Outward Hound loan investment to non-accrual status.
WhiteHorse Finance (WHF) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.22 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.25 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.28 per share a year ago.
NEW YORK, Aug. 10, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- WhiteHorse Finance, Inc.
