Micron Issues Impressive Outlook Dec 22, 2025: Image Source: TradingView.

Micron’s guidance for the second fiscal quarter of 2026 was impressive. Revenue is expected at $18.7 billion +/- $400 million on a non-GAAP gross margin of 68% +/- 1.0%. Diluted earnings per share is targeted at $8.42 +/- $0.20. Consensus estimates were calling for $14.3 billion in revenue and adjusted earnings per share of $4.78. We liked Micron’s outlook, but we’re already pretty tech heavy in the newsletter portfolios to add the company.

Verizon Targets $19.5-$20.5 Billion in Free Cash Flow for 2025 Dec 18, 2025: Image Source: TradingView.

Verizon’s total unsecured debt as of the end of the third quarter was $119.7 billion, resulting in a ratio of unsecured debt to consolidated net income (LTM) of 5.9 times. Its net unsecured debt to consolidated adjusted EBITDA ratio was 2.2 times. Though Verizon is a strong free cash flow generator, competition remains fierce with AT&T and T-Mobile, and its debt load is not something that we can get comfortable with. Shares yield 6.8% at the time of this writing.

UPS’ Dividend Remains on Shaky Ground Dec 18, 2025: Image Source: UPS.

Looking to the fourth quarter of 2025, on a consolidated basis, UPS expects revenue to be approximately $24.0 billion on a non-GAAP adjusted operating margin between 11.0%-11.5%. The company reaffirmed a variety of other items, expecting capital expenditures of approximately $2.5 billion, dividend payments of around $5.5 billion, an effective tax rate of approximately 23.75%, $1.4 billion in pension contributions (of which $1.3 billion have been made), and share repurchases of ~$1.0 billion, which have been completed. For the nine months ended September 30, free cash flow was $2.74 billion. With a Dividend Cushion ratio well below parity, we remain cautious on UPS’ dividend payout. Shares yield 6.5% at the time of this writing.

Realty Income Raises Investment Volume Guidance for 2025 Dec 18, 2025: Image Source: TradingView.

Realty Income's dividend payments represented 74.7% of its diluted AFFO per share of $1.08 during the three months ended September 30. The REIT revised its AFFO per share guidance for 2025 to the range of $4.25-$4.27 from $4.24-$4.28 previously, while investment volume is now targeted at approximately $5.5 billion, up from approximately $5 billion previously. We like Realty Income’s dividend coverage, but don’t include shares in the High Yield Dividend Newsletter portfolio, as we think existing positions offer better risk/reward potential. Shares yield 5.6% at the time of this writing.
