Three Dividend Stocks Deliver Monthly Income Through Staggered Payouts
Three dividend stocks, JPMorgan Chase (JPM), Verizon (VZ), and Southern Company (SO), have been selected for their ability to provide a monthly income stream through staggered quarterly payouts. The trio covers all twelve months of the year, with each stock paying out in specific quarters: January, April, July, and October for JPM; February, May, August, and November for VZ; and March, June, September, and December for SO.
JPMorgan Chase is the financials leg of this calendar. The quarterly dividend currently sits at $1.50 per share, with an indicated yield of 1.68%. Despite its modest yield, JPM's safety profile is exceptional, thanks to its recent net income of $16.9 billion in Q2 2026 and a return on tangible common equity of 23%.
Verizon makes up the high-yield telecom leg. The current quarterly payout is $0.7075 per share, with an annualized forward yield of 5.57%. Management has pledged to maintain its 'ironclad commitment' to the dividend, which has increased for 20 consecutive years.
Southern Company is the regulated utility leg of this trio. The quarterly dividend was raised to $0.76 per share, with a current annualized forward yield of 3.31%. The company's rare combination of rate stability and load growth makes it an attractive investment opportunity.
