Meta buys HCP 37.55: It's also worth noting that bad PR in the auto industry rarely lasts more than a few quarters, so GM's brand image with consumers was likely due to stabilize in the near-term anyway.

With this in mind, let's have a look at some of the top dividend stocks that you can consider buying in October. In turn, this dividend can help modestly buffer your potential downside during a stock market correction, and it can be used to compound your wealth via dividend reinvestment. The reason for this is dividend-paying companies act like a beacon for investors, notifying them that a company's business model is sound enough to share a percentage of its profits with investors. The market's top dividend stocks aren't immune to stock market downturns, but history shows that over time dividend-paying stocks tend to vastly outperform companies that don't pay dividends.

Temeka buys IJR 107.36: While small-cap company stocks provide specific benefits to investors, holdings in small-cap companies come with a high degree of risk.

Investors have an opportunity to participate in the small-cap domestic equity market through IJS at a discount when combined with a value tilt. Investors in small-cap companies such as those found within the investment mix of IJS may also benefit from acquisitions, most of which include an appreciation in stock price for shareholders. Companies that fall into the large- or mid-cap categories are less likely to grow at a rapid rate, while successful small-cap companies have the ability to experience exponential growth in a short period of time. Fees, commissions and expenses vary depending on the trading platform used and the extent to which an adviser or broker is needed to assist with the transaction. Investors experience a low cost of ownership in terms of internal management costs, expressed by IJS' expense ratio, but trading fees, broker or adviser commissions and other transaction costs may be imposed at the time IJS is bought or sold.


Roselia:
Under the iShares family of funds, IJS represents one of 11 small-cap domestic equity funds and is one of three small-cap ETFs with a value tilt.

Caitlin:
With the support of BlackRock, iShares manages more than $1 trillion in investor assets, and together the companies offer over 700 individual ETFs.

Annika:
While IJS has a focus on small-cap domestic company stocks that are considered undervalued based on specific financial metrics, the fund diversifies in terms of business sectors.

Raquel:
As of August 2015, IJS has a 12-month median tracking difference, or tracking error, that lags the underlying benchmark index by 0.24%, making the fund efficient in terms of management.

Ashlyn:
Each of the 462 small-cap domestic company stocks included within the investment mix of IJS follow the same weighting and value screening as holdings found in the benchmark.

Sun:
Additionally, each small-cap company is a constituent of the S&P SmallCap 600 Index.

Hui:
The S&P SmallCap 600 Value Index utilizes float-adjusted market capitalization weighting guidelines to track the performance of 460 small-cap company stocks from the U.S. equity market.

Alexandria buys CLX 116.93: Expanding EBIT margin 25-50 basis points annually.

This press release includes some non-GAAP financial measures. The company is led by a team of seasoned researchers, engineers and technology experts, backed by an advisory board of world-renowned vision scientists. EnChroma has developed a robust line of innovative eyewear products with cutting-edge optical technology for men, women and children. EnChroma emerged from a National Institutes of Health (NIH) SBIR study on the feasibility of correcting color vision deficiency, and over ten years of R&D. Once the correct ratios entering the eye are re-established, the correct color can be perceived.


Kellie:
One in 12 men, and approximately one in 200 females, have some form of CVD.

Maryann:
Color blindness is often considered a mild disability, but studies estimate that two-thirds of the 300 million people with CVD feel it's a handicap.

Ginny:
EnChroma will distribute glasses to color blind schoolchildren in need while supplies last.

Elia:
This is significant because in the first 10 years of a child's life the brain experiences its fastest growth.

Many color blind students struggle to learn color-coded information in school.

Salley:
Studies have found that as much as 80 percent of information is taken in visually.

Clorox Company (NYSE:CLX)
//stockhand.net/us/?q=nyse%3Aclx&id=682593

Oneida buys MAC 77.21: This leads me to believe the dip in GOOD's market price is almost entirely related to the REIT being lumped in with external managers, and therefore, has substantial upside as the alignment becomes apparent to the market.

As an NNN REIT, cash flows are naturally steady, and are made even steadier by strong diversification by property type and tenant. Fundamentally, it is among the safest stocks you can buy. Farmland should trade closer to 20-25X due to the zero maintenance cost nature of ownership and the tendency to appreciate over time. As it stands today, LAND is trading at just 16 times 2016 FFO, which is quite low for the asset class. If we look at the actual fundamentals, LAND has grown its asset base substantially, but more importantly, it has grown FFO on a per share basis, which, again, is the number one sign of aligned management.


Alina:
The higher dividend paid out during 2013 was a special dividend related to becoming a public REIT, and was simply to comply with tax laws.

Fallon:
We see this discount as unjustified, and believe there is an opportunity in buying at current prices.

Gwyn:
The rest of the discount, in my opinion, is related to CORR being externally managed, and it is being unfairly lumped in with RMR.

Suzan:
Some of the discount is likely attributable to the present uncertainty of energy prices, so there is concern that reduced profitability of their tenants will spill over to affect rent payments.

Tinisha:
CORR is now trading at less than 6X normalized FFO and a dividend yield well over 10%. This represents an enormous discount to the REIT and its triple-net lease (NNN) peers.

Jude:
So far, all decisions seem to be well aligned with shareholders.

Opal:
It is only buying assets that have a return sufficient to be accretive to shareholders.

Elicia:
With an enormous pipeline and only 1 or 2 transactions a year, we believe CORR is passing on a large portion of acquisitions.

Sherill:
Since that time, 100% of transactions have been demonstrably accretive to FFO on a per share basis.

Marcela:
Shareholders voted for REIT, so CORR issued the equity necessary to make a transaction substantial enough to qualify legally for REIT tax exemption.

Nereida buys VALE 4.48: BSG Resources, a company associated with Israeli diamond billionaire Beny Steinmetz acquired the concession later that year after spending $160 million exploring the property.

At the end of the first quarter only 16 funds had a total investment of $153.74 million in Banco Santander, S.A. (ADR) (NYSE:SAN).   John W. The stock price rose by a little over 11% during this period as compared to the 25% increase in investment. We have organized the list by their popularity among the professional money managers we track. In order to minimize this risk we decided to look at the high-yield companies, which have earned the trust of more hedge funds that we track than other similar stocks.

Luisa:
About the SYNERGY Bioabsorbable Polymer Stent The SYNERGY Stent is the only bioabsorbable polymer stent available to patients in the U.S.

Vita:
The SYNERGY Stent is designed for faster and sustained healing by eliminating long term polymer exposure.

Antonette:
Long-term exposure to the polymer may cause inflammation, which delays healing and has been associated with complications, including neoatherosclerosis and stent thrombosis.

Tifany:
Existing DES devices reduce coronary restenosis, but the polymer remains on the stent after the drug is delivered.

Shela:
It is designed to enable more rapid and complete arterial healing, and to thereby reduce the risk of complications associated with long-term polymer exposure compared to currently-used drug-eluting stents (DES) with permanent polymers.

Alia buys AA 9.52: Trends there will give you an indication of how the company is doing with its products, and what future earnings might look like.

Second is backlog, which is the number of orders the plane maker has yet to fill. The first is technology; it's a broad space, but Boeing needs to be at the cutting edge, or it will quickly become less relevant. If you're looking at Boeing, though, there are a few things you'll want to keep in mind. However, the company's commercial aviation business made up roughly two-thirds of its revenues in 2014. So, as the future of aviation goes, so must go Boeing, since it's effectively building that future as we speak. It also works closely with the U.S. government in the military space and even NASA.


Jade:
And for that, you can't find a better option than Boeing, essentially one of a very small handful consumer aircraft manufacturers in the world.

Bobbye:
The same is true for most public airports in the developed world, but it's not nearly as true in the developing world, where air travel is still, pardon the pun, taking off.

Solange buys DLTR 66.95: Dollar Tree expects third-quarter sales to more than double, to a range of $4.78 billion-$4.87 billion.

Dollar Tree is spending much more on renovating stores and improving merchandise than it originally expected to, and the effects are likely to be felt for some time. Things are simply not going as smoothly as the company anticipated when it made the deal. It seems that Dollar Tree assumed it could simply rebanner existing Family Dollar stores under the new name and bring customers back to the stores. Last quarter, Dollar Tree's gross margin fell to 28.4% year over year, a nearly 6-percentage-point year-over-year contraction. One reason for such a deterioration in profitability is that Dollar Tree's margins are declining substantially with Family Dollar in tow.


Lura:
Dollar Tree's stock fell 9% after the company reported its second-quarter earnings results on Sept. 1. Sales grew 48% year over year, to $3.01 billion in total sales, which looks outstanding.

Jona:
Here's why Dollar Tree might be regretting its massive takeover of Family Dollar.

Lindsy:
Looking back, it appears there wasn't much of a good reason for Dollar Tree to acquire Family Dollar.

Arlene:
What was once hailed as a great growth strategy has turned into a nightmare of rising costs and sagging sales.

Mercedes:
Ken Griffin , on the other hand, chose to dump roughly a quarter of his stake in the company, leaving his fund, Citadel Investment Group, with 2.16 million shares.

Dionne:
However, most of the top ten shareholders of the stock have increased their investments, with Phill Gross and Robert Atchinson among them.

Madalyn:
He has cited lower volatility compared to its peers and higher expected revenue growth among the factors that triggered the upgrade of BlackRock.

Isa:
The stock shares a consensus 12-month target price of $81.66, which has an upside of 22.8% against current trading price.

Carisa:
Among 26 analysts covering the stock, 12 prefer a Buy rating while three mark the stock a Sell. 11 analysts are still cautious on the stock as they have recommended a Hold rating.

Eileen:
For the last quarter, the retailer reported comparative sales growth of 2.4%, but Credit Suisse believes the growth will be restricted to 1-2% for next couple of quarters after acquiring Family Dollar.

Bong buys COST 145.86: So just what does the retailer expect to get out of all this new spending?

That's a huge chunk of change for Costco, given that annual net income is running at less than $4 billion. Source: Costco financial filings. The warehouse retailer's capital expenditures, or capex, surged 20% higher, year-over-year. The target price indicates an upside. The mean 12-month forward target price for the stock stands at $156 after the revisions that followed the earnings release.


Kelli:
After 2016, the firm forecasts that new store openings will be split in a 50/50 ratio between the US and international segment.

Kemberly:
The firm expects the retailer to open 32 new stores in FY16, with 18-20 of the new stores being in the US with the rest being in the international market, including the first store in France.

Sharron:
The store traffic benefit from the roll-out of new gas stations in the US at existing stores could slowdown in FY16 while international gas station rollouts might partially offset the impact.

Araceli:
The EPS was pushed up by better-than-expected gross margins and a lower tax rate.

Tonita:
The EPS figure reported by Costco for its fourth quarter fiscal year 2015 (4QFY15) was higher than the consensus estimate, as well as the estimate provided by the firm.

Catarina:
At 12 PM EDT, the stock traded at a price of $143.43; this is 0.79% lower than what the stock closed for yesterday.

Reba:
The analyst states that the retailer is one of the few that have had positive traffic and market share gains in recent times.

Roni:
The analyst believes that the multiple is justified given the strength in the long-term thesis of the retailer.

Martha:
The target price of $160 given by the analyst is based on a multiple of 13.2x for the EV/EBITDA using the EBITDA estimate for FY16. The multiple falls on the high end of the five-year range for the multiple.

Antionette:
The operating margin expanded 16 bps on a year-over-year basis, driven by increased gross margin leverage.

Evon buys CHTR 183.14: The market continues to remain in support of the merger.

The Bright House Networks part of the deal is valued by Charter at $10.4 billion and the transaction will take place in conjunction with the Charter and Time Warner Cable acquisition. Charter has agreed to pay $78.7 billion for Time Warner Cable, offering two share conversion options for Time Warner Cable shareholders upon completion of the transaction. Sprint's decision to stay on the sidelines in the upcoming government auction of radio spectrum now owned by TV broadcasters might be a good development for T-Mobile US (NYSE:TMUS), though cable TV firms could emerge as bidders, analysts say. Because he dared imagine the impossible, we enjoy movies and records and electric light as well as a host of other conveniences. Halliburton (NYSE:HAL) and Baker Hughes (NYSE:BHI) said Monday they will have to sell more businesses to get approval for their merger.

Katelin buys IVV 196.07: A stronger dollar has already been blamed for weaker revenues at multinational companies over the past few quarters.

The iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology ETF dropped as much as 7%, but pared losses to finish 3.6% lower. The Nasdaq Composite ended the day down 32.90 points, or 0.7%, at 4,748.36, weighed down by sinking biotech stocks.

Pamala sells PMT 15.36: Discounts to net asset value/book value are nothing out of the ordinary in the mortgage REIT sector, but PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust is not your average mortgage REIT that simply invests in a portfolio of residential mortgage-backed securities.

But there is yet another reason why I like PMT now that the shares has sold off in response to softer-than-expected first and second quarter earnings: A low valuation relative to book value. I have covered PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust quite a few times this year and actually considered adding the specialty finance company to my $100,000 high-yield income portfolio in April. PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust's book value in the second quarter was down 1.4% q/q to $20.39 per share. In the first quarter of 2015, PennyMac Mortgage Investment Trust's book value decreased 2.4% q/q to $20.68 per share. The first two fiscal quarters of 2015 were weak, and the company's share price reflects that.

Latrina buys PKX 35.91: In the case of Posco, we will be valuing the business based on its discounted future free cash flows to determine if there is a margin of safety.

The company's main global competitors include Nucor Corporation (NYSE: NUE ), Steel Dynamics (NASDAQ: STLD ), Tenaris (NYSE: TS ), U.S. The low level of institutional ownership should act as a future catalyst and provide demand as well. There are numerous catalysts over the coming years, such as spinoffs or outright sales of non-core assets, share repurchases, and the potential for special dividends from the sale of assets. So you are essentially getting a best-in-class, low-cost steel producer for free. The estimates for the sale of the non-core assets are worth the current market cap of the business.


Susannah:
CEO Kwon Oh-joon is focused on growing the core steel business and reducing leverage.

Jacqueline:
The new management team is much more shareholder friendly.

Veda:
Posco was previously known for ruining shareholder value, which still leaves a negative bias towards the company for many investors.

Shiloh:
This seems to be ignored at the moment, as the market is focused on all the intermittent negatives surrounding the company.

Zelma:
Pricing pressures and excess capacity have certainly put the pinch on the global steel industry.

Jenny:
This means the divestiture of non-core assets.

Jolene:
The new CEO, Kwon Oh-joon, is switching the business from a growth model to a company now focused on operational efficiency and profitability.

Coleen:
It's a conglomerate that produces revenues from commercial and residential property, a trading business, operation of power plants, and the distribution of energy.

Jodi buys RWO 45.86: Not only are the indexers powerful, but that power is concentrated in a few hands.

Not buying A-shares would have been too great a career risk. They know that big pension fund managers and their consultants will decide whether to allocate them money based on their performance compared with the MSCI benchmark. But active managers, who merely use the MSCI index as a benchmark, would also have been obliged to buy A-shares. ETFs were introduced only 25 years ago but now manage more than $3tn globally. Then imagine what happens if everyone is trying to be a little faster than everyone else.


Isabel:
It also offers a dramatic demonstration of the rising influence of the index.

Kasandra:
The FTSE EPRA/NAREIT indexes are seen as the standard industry benchmarks and act as a clear proxy for the direct real estate market.

Jesica:
In contrast to direct property investing, which can involve significant capital outlays, hefty acquisition costs and long tie-up periods, the ETF offers investors a liquid, diversified and low-cost means of accessing property.

Letitia:
I would prefer using more individual ETFs to gain my exposure because I'm willing to do the work of choosing more ETFs to save on the expense ratio every year.

Catherin:
However, using this option requires paying a more substantial expense ratio which should hurt returns over the long term.

Charlette:
Doing so would allow them to get a much lower expense ratio on the portfolio.

Carolyne:
I'm not big on the expense ratio, the volatility, or the correlation so clearly I wouldn't be a fan of paying a premium to NAV to enter a position.

Analisa:
Those don't offer the international exposure, but the difference is pretty massive.

Johnnie:
There are solid domestic options with expense ratios around .10% or lower.

Kim:
As you might guess, that leaves me feeling less than impressed.

Genevieve buys Y 474.75: On July 27th WTM announced its sale of Sirius Group for 127% of its book value in cash.

Not only does WTM have shorter term bonds than these other companies, but WTM has been selling its insurance companies off whereas other insurance holding companies have been buying them and trying to consolidate. There are other cautious holding companies, such as Fairfax Financial Holdings (OTCPK: FRFHF ) and Alleghany Corporation (NYSE: Y ), but WTM has them beat in its paranoia. In my opinion, WTM is one of the most conservative and cautious insurance holding companies operating in the insurance space. WTM has also favored insurance lines that are short tail, as long tail lines can take many years for the claims to settle and are exposed to inflation risks. Large cash holdings are always on the books.


Tracey:
The investment management of WTM coincides with Barrette's viewpoint.

Estella:
He has voiced concerns with government debt, inflation and rising interest rates, which of course could bankrupt an insurance company if these scenarios happened sharply and unexpectedly.

Jodie:
Other times his statements are blatant, claiming that low interest rates and highly competitive insurance pricing do not offer insurance companies an adequate return for their risk exposure.

Vertie:
Barrette's comments are often times indirect by referring to the insurance market as highly competitive.

Letisha:
The CEO of White Mountains Insurance Group (NYSE: WTM ), Ray Barrette, has voiced concerns about the insurance industry and the general economic environment in his management reports over the last several years.

Charlotte:
The WTM management team is one of the few who are awake to the risks.

Goldie:
The insurance industry is not what it once was.

Rae:
On average, equities analysts expect that Alleghany will post $28.12 earnings per share for the current fiscal year.

Pattie:
The company had revenue of $1.30 billion for the quarter, compared to the consensus estimate of $1.13 billion.

Jennette:
Alleghany ( NYSE:Y ) traded up 0.11% during mid-day trading on Wednesday, reaching $485.05. The company had a trading volume of 551 shares.

Shelly buys HTWR 54.13: Valtech provides HeartWare with commercial-stage products for mitral repair, as well as a robust technology pipeline, an advanced R&D center and an impressive, experienced team with a proven track record.

It is from this vantage point that we have concluded that Valtech's platforms represent the most innovative and comprehensive portfolio of interventional and surgical products for mitral and tricuspid repair and replacement in development today. TR is estimated to affect 1.6 million patients in the U.S. and complements the mitral patient population, as a significant percentage of patients suffer from both MR and TR. Approximately 4.2 million patients are affected by mitral valve disease in the U.S., which represents a several-billion-dollar market opportunity. Left untreated, severe MR can eventually lead to a meaningful deterioration in cardiac function and, eventually, death. MR is a condition in which the mitral valve leaflets fail to close properly, allowing backflow of blood from the left ventricle into the left atrium during systole.

Leatrice:

Jenifer:
We believe this portfolio positions HeartWare to deliver accelerated revenue growth and attractive shareholder returns over time.

Elisabeth:
HeartWare plans to lead the commercialization of the Valtech product portfolio, while maintaining Valtech as a separate business unit.

Alycia:
Valtech's product platforms align with HeartWare's strategic objective of delivering transformative, less-invasive therapies for patients with chronic heart failure.

Kathrine:
The acquisition accelerates and expands HeartWare's ability to deliver transformative technologies to patients and customers with a range of innovative VAD and valve therapies, leveraging the clinical overlap of the heart teams performing these procedures.

Eloisa:
This acquisition provides HeartWare with multiple, innovative, new, commercial opportunities in the significantly underserved areas of mitral and tricuspid valve diseases, from which many VAD patients today also suffer.

Tabetha:
The CardioValve platform has an orientation-indifferent structure for reduced implant complexity, was designed from inception to enable transseptal delivery, and can also be delivered transapically.

Rubie:
To date, Cardinal has been used to treat more than 75 patients globally.

Gladys sells PEB 35.2: Looking ahead, the company remains very positive, as it sees favorable growth trends driving a solid second half of the year.

The company was able to make up for any revenue weakness by cutting its expenses, resulting in much stronger-than-expected AFFO. Of course, this guidance assumes that the company doesn't acquire any additional hotels this year. As a result, the company is reiterating its full-year AFFO guidance at $179.6 million-$185.1 million, or $2.47-$2.55 per share. The company doesn't expect that to have any impact on full-year AFFO, as it anticipates a slight improvement in Same-Property EBITDA Margin to make up the difference. Pebblebrook is actually ratcheting down its full-year guidance for Same-Property RevPAR by 2%; however, the company still expects growth of 4.5%-5.5% for the full year.


Marilou:
Both should provide incremental gains in the future while the company also plans to invest an additional $13 million-$15 million in the hotel starting late next year in a complete renovation to reposition the hotel, and drive revenue and margin growth.

Christopher:
The company acquired a waterfront, luxury resort and club in Florida for $185.5 million, and an upper-upscale hotel in California for $122 million.

Kathrine:
Overall, AFFO per share is up a robust 28.6% year over year.

Chelsey:
That equated to AFFO of $0.72 per share, which, unsurprisingly, was above its guidance range of $0.66-$0.69 per share.

Marilynn:
That growth rate was below the company's projected range of 4%-6% growth that it projected last quarter.

Vernita:
The company expects both trends to continue for the balance of the year, which is why it adjusted its full-year outlook accordingly.

Socorro:
The hotel REIT reported solid growth in adjusted funds from operations, or AFFO, as it cut expenses to offset weaker-than-expected growth in Same-Property Revenue Per Available Room, or RevPAR.

Kathie:
This represents a $1.24 dividend on an annualized basis and a yield of 2.85%. The ex-dividend date of this dividend was Friday, June 26th.

Sandy:
Investors of record on Tuesday, June 30th were given a dividend of $0.31 per share.

Adell:
Three equities research analysts have rated the stock with a hold rating, six have assigned a buy rating and one has assigned a strong buy rating to the stock.
