Season 1
Episode 36

Description
Episode 36 of Dividend Investing with Fexingo: Lucas and Luna unpack why the dividend growth rate is a better predictor of long-term wealth than starting yield. Using Procter and Gamble's 4.5% weekly gain and Johnson and Johnson's 4.1% move as anchors, they explain how a 6% compound annual growth rate can turn a 2.5% yield into a 5.6% yield on cost in a decade. They also contrast high-yield traps like Verizon — down 4.9% over the past five days — with steady growers that protect principal. A practical guide to screening for growth, not just yield, with real numbers from the June 7, 2026 market.
