Why Lindt Dividends Compound Better Than High Yields
Description
In this episode of Dividend Investing with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna explore why a moderate yield with consistent growth often beats a high headline yield over time. Using Lindt & Sprüngli as the central case — a Swiss chocolatier with a dividend yield around 1.5% but a 10-year compound annual growth rate of over 8% — they unpack the math of compounding versus cash today. They contrast Lindt with a high-yield stock like Verizon, currently yielding 5.8% but growing its dividend at only 2% annually. With the 10-year Treasury at 4.62% as of July 14, 2026, the conversation shows how to evaluate dividend stocks beyond yield alone, touching on payout ratios, free cash flow coverage, and the power of dividend growth. Listeners learn one concrete framework: the 'yield on cost' concept and why a low-yield grower can outperform a high-yield laggard in a decade.
