Dividend income investors are always looking for new stocks to add to their portfolios. If you plan to earn passive income with dividend-paying stocks, then you can check out this list of amazing high dividend companies.

Each of these companies return a portion of their profits to investors through monthly, quarterly or bi-annual dividend payments.

Income from dividend stocks can be reinvested to purchase more shares or used as income to fund your lifestyle. If you are interested in FIRE and early retirement from your job, you can build a passive income portfolio of dividend stocks then quit your job once your dividend income exceeds your expenses.

FAQ

How often do companies pay dividends?

Most companies pay on a quarterly basis while some pay bi-annually or monthly.

Should I reinvest the dividends into purchasing ore shares or receive the dividend in cash?

It depends on your investment goals and financial situation. If you are young and have a long term investment strategy (10 years or more), then I suggest reinvesting the dividends since you don’t need the cash right away. If you are close to retirement or want to live the FIRZE lifestyle, then receive the dividends in cash to help cover your expenses.
