    Seasoned investors will know that the stocks with the highest dividend yields are not always the best dividend stocks. Yes, higher yields are a feature of most dividend stocks. But a rising dividend yield can simply be a function of a declining share price. And, of course, this can be a sign of problems in the underlying business. It’s important to factor all this in, particularly given the range of attractive dividend stocks in the Canadian market. While there are other stable Canadian companies not featured in our list of the 15 best dividend stocks in Canada, those listed below best match our criteria.

    How we picked the best Canadian dividend stocks

    With all of that in mind, it is worth highlighting what factors investors should consider when picking dividend stocks. High on the list is a company’s track record for raising dividends. The same way that a dividend cut is a sign of bigger problems, companies that are able to raise their dividends on a regular basis are demonstrating the strength and the growth in their business. Analysts keep a close eye on a company’s dividend policy. That refers to both the dividend payout ratio and whether or not dividends have been growing over time. 

    Dividends are usually a function of earnings. So it stands to reason that companies generating earnings growth will be in a better position to raise dividends as well. Companies will experience more variation in their earnings depending on which industry they belong to. The energy sector and the basic materials sector combined, make up a large portion of the Canadian equity market. In spite of the cyclicality of those industries, several have a good track record of paying out and raising their dividends.   

    Valuation

    Aside from earnings growth, analysts usually want to have a sense of a stock’s valuation. So even if a company has a history of raising dividends, investors would like to know that there is still room for the share price to increase. There are several ways to gauge valuation. The list below takes into account the stock’s trailing twelve months Price/Earnings Ratio (P/E ttm), which compares the company’s share price to its earnings per share over the last 12 months.  

    A Word About Financial Services Stocks

    By far the most prominent sector in the Canadian stock market is financial services, which makes up about 30% of the S&P/TSX Index. These include Canada’s largest banks and insurance companies. They are among Canada’s most solid companies and, not surprisingly, they also come with very attractive dividend yields. Indeed, it would be possible to make a list of Canadian dividend stocks almost entirely with companies from this sector. Banks and insurers are well represented, but the list below aims to offer investors a little more variety.

    The Best Dividend Stocks in Canada

    Having outlined our methodology for selection, it’s time to delve into our top picks. So, without further ado, here are our top Canadian dividend stocks:

    Agnico Eagle Mines (AEM:TO)

    Market Cap$32.2B
    Dividend Yield3.18%
    5-Year Dividend Growth31.30%
    5-Year Earnings Growth8.03%
    P/E Ratio (TTM)9.61

    Agnico Eagle is the lone mining company on the list. It is one of Canada’s largest gold miners and as can seen above, the company’s track record of raising dividends over the last five years is excellent. One of the features of AEM that makes it more attractive than several other mining companies is that the company’s production and exploration come from countries with less political risk. Aside from Canada, AEM has operations in the United States, Mexico and Finland. 

    On the domestic front, AEM is in the midst of consolidating a number of key acquisitions in the coming months that will lead to a big jump in gold production. This includes assets from its merger with Kirkland Lake Gold and the acquisition of the Canadian assets of Yamana Gold. Nevertheless, AEM’s share price is down since the start of the year. This is due to lower production guidance from management for 2023 and 2024. 

    Alimentation Couche-Tard (ATD:TO)

    Market Cap$63.8B
    Dividend Yield0.86%
    5-Year Dividend Growth19.91%  
    5-Year Earnings Growth18.91% 
    P/E Ratio (TTM)17.28

    Alimentation Couche-Tard (ATD) is well known as an operator of convenience stores under the Circle K and Couche-Tard brands. What is probably less well known is that about 66% of ATD’s revenue comes from the United States. Another 21% comes from Europe and the rest of the world and only 13% from Canada. While ATD’s dividend growth has been solid in recent years, earnings growth has led to an appreciation in the share price that has been nothing short of phenomenal. 

    From a product mix point of view, fuel makes up 47% of ATD’s gross profit. Some investors see this as a threat as the world turns more to electric vehicles. Although this shift will take years, ATD’s management has started to address the need for more charging stations across North America and Europe. In fact, ATD views this as an opportunity as charging electric vehicles leads to longer wait times for customers and increased merchandise sales in their stores. 

    Bank of Montreal (BMO.TO)

    Market Cap$84.0B
    Dividend Yield4.95% 
    5-Year Dividend Growth8.85%
    5-Year Earnings Growth20.40%
    P/E Ratio (TTM)11.73

    Bank of Montreal (BMO) is the first major bank on this list. Of those, BMO boasts the most impressive earnings growth over the past five years. Dividend growth has also been solid over the same period. BMO has a well diversified revenue mix of Canada Personal and Commercial (P&C) banking, U.S P&C, Capital Markets and Wealth Management.  

    As is the case with the other banks, BMO is also active in the mortgage market. And with interest rates still rising, this will begin to take a toll by way of an increase in non-performing loans. However, BMO has less exposure to the Canadian housing market than its peers. Furthermore, BMO’s U.S. business is likely to be a driver of future growth. Given the current dividend yield of just under 5.0%, it’s hard to overlook the long term investment case for BMO. 

    Canadian Natural Resources (CNQ:TO)

    Market Cap$76.9B
    Dividend Yield4.96%
    5-Year Dividend Growth23.03%
    5-Year Earnings Growth36.22%
    P/E Ratio (TTM)8.27

    Canadian Natural Resources Limited (CNQ) is the only energy company on our list. And given that it operates in such a highly cyclical sector, both its earnings growth and its dividend growth in recent years are truly remarkable. It also has a long track of raising its dividend. In fact, CNQ was even able to do this in years when the oil price was well below $50/barrel. With the current environment of crude oil hovering around $70.00/barrel, CNQ is likely to see continued earnings growth. This, in turn, will allow the company to return those earnings back to shareholders by the way of dividends. 

    Of course, a steep decline in the oil price will lead to weakness in CNQ’s share price. Investors who would rather not time their exit from an energy stock may prefer to increase their exposure to dividend stocks through other sectors. 

    Canadian Tire (CTC-A:TO)

    Market Cap$10.2B
    Dividend Yield4.01%
    5-Year Dividend Growth17.61%
    5-Year Earnings Growth10.53%
    P/E Ratio (TTM)11.72

    As indicated above, the investment case for Canadian Tire’s Class A (non voting) shares begins with the undemanding P/E ratio of 11.7 and a dividend yield of just over 4.0%. The dividend growth rate of 17.6% also places the company among the better dividend growers. Nevertheless, investors tend to overlook Canadian Tire. Perhaps this is because it is known primarily for its flagship stores. But in 2022 these stores accounted for less than 60% of the group’s total revenue. 

    Canadian Tire has been able to diversify from its primary retail business. The company’s other main lines include Canadian Tire Financial Services, SportCheck, Mark’s, Helly Hansen and finally the company’s Petroleum business. The company has been investing heavily in its online business to improve ecommerce sales. These investments appear to be paying off as Canadian Tire is now the second most visited online retailer in Canada.  

    Cogeco Communications (CCA:TO)

    Market Cap$2.9B
    Dividend Yield4.69%
    5-Year Dividend Growth10.39%
    5-Year Earnings Growth8.55%
    P/E Ratio (TTM)7.39

    Cogeco Communications (CCA) is the only telecom services provider on this list. The Quebec-based company operates in two major segments, Canadian Broadband and American Broadband services. The shares currently offer an attractive dividend yield. And dividend growth, at 10.4% over the last five years, has been more than respectable. But what stands out above is CCA’s remarkably low P/E ratio. 

    CCA’s low valuation is likely, in part, attributable to the company’s high level of debt and rising interest expense. A company’s debt position can be measured and analyzed to see how it has been changing over time. It’s clear that many investors are not comfortable with CCA’s balance sheet and this is reflected in the drop in CCA’s share price over the last two years. While some investors may see the decline as a buying opportunity, others will stick to dividend stocks that come with a much more manageable level of debt. 

    Enghouse Systems (ENGH:TO)

    Market Cap$1.8B
    Dividend Yield2.71%
    5-Year Dividend Growth18.13%
    5-Year Earnings Growth12.70%
    P/E Ratio (TTM)21.24

    Enghouse Systems Limited (ENGH) is an outlier on our list for at least two reasons. For starters, it is the only company in the group in the technology sector. Technology stocks usually fall into the category of growth stocks, and are not known as big dividend payers. Second of all, ENGH is one of the smallest companies on our list in terms of market cap with a value of about $1.8 billion. This makes ENGH a small cap stock, which means it will likely be more volatile than your ‘run of the mill’ dividend stock. However, with 18.1% dividend growth over the last five years, and solid earnings growth over the same period, ENGH deserves some consideration. 

    The company operates in two main segments. The first is customer interaction software and the second offers a variety of software and technology solutions to a wide range of industries. ENGH’s share price is well off its pandemic high, as the stock rode the ‘work from home’ wave that many other technology stocks enjoyed. But given that the company continues to generate strong free cash flow and has very little debt, the stock has more room for recovery. 

    Finning International (FTT:TO)

    Market Cap6.0 billion
    Dividend Yield2.47%
    5-Year Dividend Growth4.60%  
    5-Year Earnings Growth20.49%
    P/E Ratio (TTM)11.30

    Finning (FTT) is the only industrial stock on our list. The company sells, services, and rents heavy equipment and related products in Canada and abroad. Canada accounts for about 50% of total revenue. Industrial stocks would not be an obvious choice in a recessionary environment, as they would typically be more vulnerable to an economic downturn than other sectors. However, FTT derives a substantial portion of its revenue from the energy and mining sectors. Those sectors have thrived in the current environment of high commodity prices. 

    To its credit, FTT has produced healthy dividend growth over the past five years. In fact, the company has increased its annual dividend for 22 consecutive years. Of course, a key risk for FTT is a sharp drop in commodity prices. But seeing as the company has been around since 1933, odds are that it can weather such a storm. 

    Fortis (FTS:TO)

    Market Cap$27.4B
    Dividend Yield4.00%
    5-Year Dividend Growth5.96%  
    5-Year Earnings Growth3.77%
    P/E Ratio (TTM)19.22

    Fortis is a utility company with assets in Canada, the United States and the Caribbean. Its operations include power generation, electricity transmission and the distribution of natural gas. Fortis stands out as being a highly defensive stock with a very dependable dividend. In fact, it has increased its dividend for 49 years in a row, which in itself is very impressive. 

    Fortis has been able to do this because its business is heavily regulated. So while earnings growth has not been spectacular, cash flows are very reliable. And this has allowed management to increase dividends at a steady rate. This makes Fortis particularly attractive to investors who want a stock with a very secure dividend. Furthermore, the stock has generated an annual average total shareholder return of 9.5% over the last 10 years, indicating that investors in Fortis have also benefited from capital appreciation.  

    Goeasy (GST:TO) 

    Market Cap$1.8B
    Dividend Yield3.52%
    5-Year Dividend Growth37.30%
    5-Year Earnings Growth26.89%
    P/E Ratio (TTM)11.14 

    Although goeasy (GSY) falls under the financial services sector, the stock should not be thought of in the same way as Canada’s large banks and insurers. GSY is another small cap stock that has seen a lot of volatility in its share price. This, perhaps, makes it less suitable to investors that are looking for stocks that would be more stable during a downturn. However, both GSY’s dividend and earnings growth over the last five years have been nothing short of outstanding. 

    GSY provides lending and leasing services to borrowers who are not able to obtain these loans through more conventional means. As such, the company’s customers are perceived as being less credit worthy. This concern is amplified in an environment of rising interest rates, as investors have some doubts as to how well GSY’s customers will be able to manage their debt during a recession. While this risk shouldn’t be dismissed, it may already be reflected in GSY’s share price, which is at about half of where it stood in the second half of 2021.  

    Manulife (MFC:TO)

    Market Cap$45.5B
    Dividend Yield5.82%
    5-Year Dividend Growth9.16%
    5-Year Earnings Growth30.29%
    P/E Ratio (TTM)5.07

    Manulife Financial Corporation (MFC) is Canada’s largest insurance company by market capitalization. MFC stands out for its high dividend yield and its low valuation. The stock trades at a substantial discount to its peers in the insurance industry, as indicated by its P/E multiple. Moreover, earnings growth has been impressive in recent years. 

    MFC’s shares have been flat since the start of the year. This may be due to the performance of the company’s Asian division, which is seen as a key source of future growth. However, as the region was closed down during the pandemic for some time, this growth hasn’t materialized as expected. Also, there has been some concern over MFC’s exposure to U.S. regional banks in the light of the problems facing that industry. Still, MFC is likely to overcome these near term headwinds and the low valuation may be an attractive entry point for investors. 

    Metro (MRU:TO)

    Market Cap$16.7B
    Dividend Yield1.70%
    5-Year Dividend Growth11.37%
    5-Year Earnings Growth6.43%
    P/E Ratio (TTM)19.18

    Metro, as a consumer staples stock, is one of the more defensive stocks on this list. Its operations include food production and distribution under several banner names, including Metro, Food Basics and Super C. It also operates as a retailer of pharmaceuticals after acquiring the Jean Coutu network in 2018. Both businesses are focused on Quebec and Ontario. 

    In spite of its defensive qualities, Metro’s shares have performed very well over the long term and have outperformed the broader Canadian market. Furthermore, Metro’s track record for dividends is excellent. The company has managed to increase its dividend for 28 years in a row. The dividend growth rate in recent years, at 11.4%, has been particularly impressive. Recent weakness in the share price represents a good entry point for investors looking for a solid dividend stock that they are willing to hold for the long term.

    National Bank of Canada (NA:TO)

    Market Cap$33.3B
    Dividend Yield4.14%
    5-Year Dividend Growth9.44%
    5-Year Earnings Growth12.30%
    P/E Ratio (TTM)10.59

    National Bank is the smallest of Canada’s big six banks in terms of market capitalization. But most investors would be surprised to learn that it has generated the highest return of the group since the end of the financial crises. This is a reflection of the bank’s earnings growth, which at 12.3% over the last five years, puts it ahead of the  peer group. 

    As National Bank is based in Quebec, it still derives about half its revenue from that province. The bank has less of a presence internationally and in the U.S. compared to the other large Canadian banks. Nevertheless, the bank is well diversified in terms of its major business segments, which include personal and commercial banking, wealth management, and financial markets. National Bank’s dependence on the Quebec market is a risk. However, until now, the bank has done a good job of growing its various lines of business within its boundaries.  

    Royal Bank of Canada (RY:TO)

    Market Cap$173.3B
    Dividend Yield4.31%
    5-Year Dividend Growth7.34%
    5-Year Earnings Growth7.91%
    P/E Ratio (TTM)12.33

    Last but certainly not least of Canada’s large banks, Royal Bank of Canada is Canada’s largest company in terms of market capitalization. Over the past five years, both dividends and earnings have grown at a moderate, yet steady pace. Similar to BMO, Royal Bank generates revenue from several segments. Aside from retail and commercial banking, the company has a strong presence in both investment banking and wealth management. 

    The Canadian banking sector, in general, has underperformed the broader market since the start of the year. This is largely due to the problems faced by the regional banks in the United States, which have spilled over into the Canadian market. However, this ‘crisis’ as some have referred to it, is unlikely to have a big impact on the Royal Bank in the long run. On the contrary, this relative underperformance arguably makes Royal Bank a more attractive investment at the current share price. 

    Sun Life Financial (SLF:TO)

    Market Cap$39.0B
    Dividend Yield4.49%
    5-Year Dividend Growth9.60%
    5-Year Earnings Growth8.34%
    P/E Ratio (TTM)12.20

    Sun Life is another of Canada’s large insurance companies with a market capitalization of just under $40.0 billion. The company has managed to diversify its business along four major segments. They are Sun Life Canada, Sun Life U.S., Asset Management and Sun Life Asia. The company has operations in several of Asia’s largest markets where the insurance industry benefits from lower penetration rates. As with Manulife, Sun Life sees the region as a major driver of future growth. 

    Sun Life offers an attractive dividend yield at 4.5%. Over the last five years its shares  have performed slightly better than its peers in the financial sector. But with a P/E ratio of 12.2 and continued steady earnings growth, there is room for further capital appreciation.

    How to evaluate dividend stocks?

    Now that you know what our top Canadian dividend stocks are, let’s take a look at the key metrics required to evaluate these companies. You need to understand which dividend-paying company to buy and hold over the long-term. The below financial metrics will help you understand if a company is worth investing in or not, as well as identify potential red flags.

    Dividend Yield

    The dividend yield is calculated as a percentage of a company’s stock price. So, in case a stock trades at $100 and pays an annual dividend of $5, the dividend yield would amount to 5%.

    While a higher dividend yield is always attractive you need to understand that it is inversely related to the stock price. For example, if the stock price of the company falls by 25% to $75 its dividend yield will increase to 6.7%.

    Payout ratio

    This is another important metric investors should use while evaluating dividend stocks. The payout ratio is calculated as a percentage of a firm’s net earnings. So, if the firm earns $5 per share as its net income and pays dividends of $3 per share, it has a payout ratio of 60%.

    If the payout ratio is low, it means the company has more room to reinvest its earnings in capital expenditures which in turn will bring in additional cash flows. Alternatively, the company can also look to increase dividends.

    Earnings per share

    The EPS (earnings per share) ratio is derived by dividing a company’s net income by the total number of shares outstanding. It basically tells you the amount of money a company makes for each outstanding share. Now, you need to shortlist companies that have grown earnings over time. This indicates the company is able to improve its bottom-line which in turn will help it sustain dividend payments.

    Price to earnings

    The price to earnings multiple is a popular valuation ratio that shows us how expensive a stock is. It is calculated by dividing the price of a stock by its EPS. As a rule of thumb, in case a company’s P/E ratio is lower than the sum of its earnings growth and dividend yield, it is undervalued and vice versa.

    Avoiding the dividend yield trap

    Investors without any experience in the equity markets might equate a high yield as an attractive investment opportunity. However, as we have seen above, while a high yield is a good filter to identify dividend stocks, you need to look at the reasons behind these figures.

    In case a stock continues to spiral downwards, it means it is fundamentally weak or is impacted by macro-economic factors. It may also lead to a dividend cut which may further impact the stock price. So, how do you avoid falling into a dividend yield trap?

    Just buying stocks due to their high yield is a recipe for disaster. If a company has a forward yield that is significantly higher than its industry peers, it may be a red flag. You need to look at the company’s payout ratio as well as analyze its balance sheet, income statements, and cash flows.

    A company with a stellar dividend history and one that has increased dividends each year indicates that it has a solid business model that allows it to generate cash flows to support an increase in payouts.

    It’s always better to buy a stock with a lower dividend yield that is sustainable compared to a stock with a high yield that may be rolled back if markets turn ugly.

    Dividends are not a guarantee

    Investors need to understand that dividend payments are not a guarantee and can be suspended at any time. When oil prices crashed in 2020, several companies such as Suncor Energy cut their dividends. Many others suspended their payouts indefinitely.

    Dividends are part of a company’s profits. Generally, a company can look to reinvest its net income to expand its capital expenditure program, lower its debt or acquire other companies to benefit from inorganic growth.

    Dividend payments are not compulsory and if a company is looking to reduce costs or is grappling with negative profit margins, there is a good chance for dividends to be at risk.

    It is thus imperative to build a portfolio of quality dividend-paying companies across sectors to mitigate risks. Like every other asset class, it is not possible for dividend investors to eliminate their risk completely.

    FAQs About Dividend Stocks in Canada

    Why do companies pay dividends?

    Companies pay dividends in order to attract investors by sharing profits with them. In most cases, only established companies with a recurring profit do this, in comparison with emerging companies that have to use their profit in order to expand at a faster pace. It also reduces the risk of big variations in the stock price as investors have to keep their shares a certain amount of time to be eligible for the dividends

    Why should I buy dividend stocks?

    At first glance, buying dividend stocks might be only interesting for the dividend return they provide to you. Besides, these stocks gather way more benefits than it seems. These companies have a long track of proven revenues and a sustainable management/industry. Moreover, dividend stocks offer the opportunity to receive a passive income and to see the stock taking more value in the long term.

    How are dividends paid?

    Once the company pays cash dividends, you will receive the money directly in your brokerage account. The same applies to stock dividends; they will appear directly as additional shares in your investor’s account. To see if the company is paying through cash or stock dividends, you will have to do a little bit of work and go on the company’s website to check how the dividends are paid.

    Is there a specific timeframe for dividends?

    The timeframe is defined by the company. The most common timeframe is quarterly dividends. You will also see companies paying monthly, semi-annually, or yearly dividends. Whether your receive monthly or quarterly, it won’t change what you will earn. A $3 monthly dividend won’t be different from a $9 quarterly dividend.

    Do I pay taxes on dividends?

    If you are Canadian, your TFSA account will be your best friend. Dividends from Canadian companies generated in this account won’t affect your taxable income. You won’t be subject to taxes if you decide to retire them from your account either. If you are looking for international diversification which is usually recommended, it is however considered as not desirable in a TFSA. You have to keep Canadian assets as much as possible in your TSFA to get the most benefits. U.S. stocks held in a TFSA are subject to 15% withholding tax on U.S. dividend income. The same would apply to other foreign stocks held in a TFSA, with rates starting at 15%, depending on the country. If you own U.S. stocks directly in your RRSP, there will be no withholding tax.

    When should I buy dividend stocks?

    When you plan to buy dividend stocks, make sure to get them before the ex-dividend date. Typically, the ex-dividend date is two business days before the record date. The ex-dividend date represents the cut-off point for receiving the dividend. You have to own a stock prior to the ex-dividend date to receive the next dividend payment. You are not entitled to the next paid dividend if you buy a stock on or after the ex-dividend date.

    Should I look for a high dividend yield?

    A high dividend yield seems more than attractive, but you have to be cautious about it. As the dividend yield is indexed to the stock price, a drop from the share value will augment the ratio. For example, during the first trimester of the pandemic, all the oil companies’ stock prices plummeted, increasing the dividend yield ratio. Most of these companies cut their dividends to save the most cash possible to pursue their operations and keep the companies afloat. In general, dividend yields of 2% to 4% are considered strong, and anything above 4% can be a great buy but will be riskier.

    Do only stocks pay dividends?

    No, stocks aren’t the only ones paying dividends. ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) also pay dividends. ETFs represent another low-risk investment to diversify your portfolio. Mutual funds, which are similar to ETFs, pay dividend as well and are as safe as dividends.

    Are all stocks dividend stocks?  

    No, not all stocks are dividend stocks. Many stocks do noy pay any dividends at all. Younger companies in the early stage of their development often do not pay any dividends. Those companies need more cash to finance their growth and are usually not in a position to pay dividends.

    Are dividend stocks good during inflation? 

    If a company is able to continue paying dividends during periods of high inflation, that is certainly positive. This will often depend on the industry in which a company operates. High inflation impacts different industries in different ways. 

    Do dividend stocks outperform other stocks?

    Although stocks that pay a generous dividend are usually seen as more defensive, any dividend stock can underperform over a certain period of time. There will likely be considerable variation in the performance of dividend stocks. Again, this often depends on the industry in which the company operates. For example, commodity stocks tend to perform well in periods of high inflation. That’s because the price of the underlying commodity is often rising with inflation. On the other hand, industrial stocks tend to do poorly during periods of high inflation. This is because their input costs are rising and demand for their products or services is decreasing. 

    How to buy dividend stocks in Canada?

    Dividend stocks can be purchased the same way as other stocks are purchased. They can be purchased with an investment account, which investors can open with most brokers. Though many firms will require clients to start with a fairly large amount of money to open an account. Alternatively, investors can also open an online brokerage account, which will allow them to purchase stocks, mutual funds and ETFs on their own.
