## Resource

Lucas and Luna examine how dividend-paying stocks are navigating the early days of the Warsh Fed, with the 10-year Treasury yield climbing back to 4.49 percent and the Fed holding rates steady but signaling a potential hike later this year. They focus on two dividend aristocrats—Coca-Cola and Johnson & Johnson—to illustrate how companies with pricing power and defensive earnings can weather a hawkish central bank. The hosts discuss why payout ratios and dividend growth rates matter more than headline yields when long-term rates are rising, and why Realty Income's high payout ratio demands attention in this environment. They also explore a subtle rotation in dividend ETFs toward mid-cap stocks, which offer better yield and growth than large caps without the volatility of small caps. No hot takes—just specific numbers, a clear framework, and a grounded look at what works when the easy-money era is over. #DividendInvesting #HawkishFed #WarshFed #CocaCola #JohnsonAndJohnson #RealtyIncome #PayoutRatio #DividendGrowth #MidCap #DividendAristocrats #TreasuryYield #June2026 #Finance #Investing #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #IncomeInvesting #StockMarket Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
