Looking to the fourth quarter of 2025, on a consolidated basis, UPS expects revenue to be approximately $24.0 billion on a non-GAAP adjusted operating margin between 11.0%-11.5%. The company reaffirmed a variety of other items, expecting capital expenditures of approximately $2.5 billion, dividend payments of around $5.5 billion, an effective tax rate of approximately 23.75%, $1.4 billion in pension contributions (of which $1.3 billion have been made), and share repurchases of ~$1.0 billion, which have been completed. For the nine months ended September 30, free cash flow was $2.74 billion. With a Dividend Cushion ratio well below parity, we remain cautious on UPS’ dividend payout. Shares yield 6.5% at the time of this writing.

Realty Income's dividend payments represented 74.7% of its diluted AFFO per share of $1.08 during the three months ended September 30. The REIT revised its AFFO per share guidance for 2025 to the range of $4.25-$4.27 from $4.24-$4.28 previously, while investment volume is now targeted at approximately $5.5 billion, up from approximately $5 billion previously. We like Realty Income’s dividend coverage, but don’t include shares in the High Yield Dividend Newsletter portfolio, as we think existing positions offer better risk/reward potential. Shares yield 5.6% at the time of this writing.
