Investors can create a portfolio yielding monthly income by strategically selecting stocks that pay dividends in different months. Coca-Cola (KO), AbbVie (ABBV), and Exxon Mobil (XOM) together facilitate monthly payouts. Coca-Cola pays in January, April, July, and October, AbbVie in February, May, August, and November, while Exxon Mobil pays in March, June, September, and December.
Coca-Cola has a current dividend yield of 3.0% and a 4.8% five-year annualized growth rate, AbbVie offers a yield of 3.9% with a 6.5% growth rate, and Exxon Mobil provides a 3.6% yield with a 3.1% growth rate. Year-to-date in 2025, Coca-Cola is up 10%, AbbVie has increased by 21%, and Exxon Mobil has risen 5%.
This approach not only ensures steady income but also helps mitigate the impact of market drawdowns, making dividend-paying stocks a viable option for income-focused investors.
