BLK Stock Recent News

When seeking companies for your retirement portfolio, I suggest focusing on companies with significant competitive advantages, a strong balance sheet and the capacity to pay sustainable dividends.

While one company offers a particularly attractive dividend yield [FWD] of 5.77%, another one offers strong dividend growth potential (reflected in its 10-Year dividend growth rate [CAGR] of 17.57%).

The Dividend Harvesting Portfolio faced a challenging week, declining by -2.43%, but still maintains a 24.99% return on invested capital and a 9.81% yield. I added to Enbridge, BlackRock Science and Technology Trust, and BlackRock Corporate High Yield Fund, capitalizing on market pullbacks and tariff talks. Despite market volatility, the portfolio continues to generate substantial dividend income, with a forward projected annualized dividend income of $2,070.78.

BlackRock is an excellent example that valuation matters and waiting patiently for the right valuation is important. The financial juggernaut's revenue and adjusted diluted EPS climbed higher in the fourth quarter. BlackRock enjoys an AA- credit rating from S&P on a stable outlook.
