Why Dividends Matter, Even The Little Ones
Dividends provide a reliable income stream, especially during tough economic times, alleviating financial pressure without the need to sell shares. Persistent inflation makes dividend income increasingly valuable, as it offers stability when market returns are volatile or negative. Investing in well-established, high-yield dividend companies with strong cash flows can ensure a steady income and reduce financial stress.

Leggett & Platt: Financial Improvements, New Cash Coming, And Quite Cheap
Leggett & Platt appears undervalued, trading at 9.8x GAAP FWD earnings and 6.7x 2029 EPS, making it a potential buy. Significant reorganization efforts, including Hydraulic Cylinders and G&A initiatives, are expected to enhance EBIT margins and free cash flow in 2025.
