"That's not always the case, and recent macroeconomic changes are expected to swing the pendulum the other way. Some monthly dividend stocks have even managed to outperform growth stocks. Interest rate cuts could tip the scales in favor of dividend stocks as Treasury yields go down. Even a 3% dividend yield will look very generous if rate cuts continue as expected."
"Bird Construction is a Canadian construction company. It is not very well-known but has performed exceptionally well. Bird builds the unglamorous but essential projects that keep Canada moving, such as data centers, power lines, LNG terminals, long-term care facilities, and even film studios. It covers a wide menu, and this has helped boost revenue from just $1.04 billion in 2019 to almost $2.4 billion in 2024. Profits increased by tenfold during the same period, and the backlog has ballooned."
Dividends are often seen as low-growth payouts, but macroeconomic changes and expected interest-rate cuts could make dividend yields comparatively attractive. Monthly dividend stocks have sometimes outperformed growth stocks, and falling Treasury yields could amplify the appeal of even a 3% yield. Growth stocks face high valuations that could trigger investor flight toward safer dividend names during a market shock. Bird Construction is a Canadian builder of infrastructure projects with revenue growing from $1.04 billion in 2019 to nearly $2.4 billion in 2024, profits rising tenfold, and a CAD 4.6 billion backlog as of Q2 2025. Forecasts show mid-teens revenue growth and a market cap near $1.2 billion, with a 2.79% monthly-yielding dividend.
