Just noticed something interesting about dividend payouts for a few stocks. So Corning, Eldorado Gold, and Magna International all had their ex-dividend dates recently, and the yields are pretty different depending on which one you're looking at. Eldorado Gold had a quarterly dividend of $0.075 with like 0.69% annualized yield, which is pretty modest honestly. Meanwhile Magna was paying out $0.495 quarterly (3.05% yield) and Corning was somewhere in between at 0.74%. The thing that caught my eye is how much these payouts vary - Eldorado Gold's yield is nowhere near Magna's, even though they're both solid companies. I checked the dividend history for all three and it's pretty stable over time, which is reassuring if you're thinking about holding for income. Eldorado in particular has been consistent with its quarterly distributions. Anyway, if you're into dividend stocks, worth checking out the historical patterns on these three. Magna's yield looks most attractive right now but Eldorado Gold and Corning are solid if you want something more conservative. You guys holding any of these for the dividends?
