Whether it's through stocks, bonds, ETFs, or other types of securities, all investors love seeing their portfolios score big returns. However, when you're an income investor, your primary focus is generating consistent cash flow from each of your liquid investments.
While cash flow can come from bond interest or interest from other types of investments, income investors hone in on dividends. A dividend is that coveted distribution of a company's earnings paid out to shareholders, and investors often view it by its dividend yield, a metric that measures the dividend as a percent of the current stock price. Many academic studies show that dividends account for significant portions of long-term returns, with dividend contributions exceeding one-third of total returns in many cases.
Tanger (SKT - Free Report) is headquartered in Greensboro, and is in the Finance sector. The stock has seen a price change of 25.68% since the start of the year. The factory outlet mall operator is paying out a dividend of $0.31 per share at the moment, with a dividend yield of 2.98% compared to the REIT and Equity Trust - Retail industry's yield of 3.71% and the S&P 500's yield of 1.35%.
Looking at dividend growth, the company's current annualized dividend of $1.25 is up 8.4% from last year. Over the last 5 years, Tanger has increased its dividend 4 times on a year-over-year basis for an average annual increase of 14.37%. Looking ahead, future dividend growth will be dependent on earnings growth and payout ratio, which is the proportion of a company's annual earnings per share that it pays out as a dividend. Tanger's current payout ratio is 49%, meaning it paid out 49% of its trailing 12-month EPS as dividend.
SKT is expecting earnings to expand this fiscal year as well. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2026 is $2.48 per share, with earnings expected to increase 6.44% from the year ago period.
Investors like dividends for many reasons; they greatly improve stock investing profits, decrease overall portfolio risk, and carry tax advantages, among others. However, not all companies offer a quarterly payout.
Big, established firms that have more secure profits are often seen as the best dividend options, but it's fairly uncommon to see high-growth businesses or tech start-ups offer their stockholders a dividend. Income investors have to be mindful of the fact that high-yielding stocks tend to struggle during periods of rising interest rates. That said, they can take comfort from the fact that SKT is not only an attractive dividend play, but is also a compelling investment opportunity with a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy).

Stephen Yalof, CEO of Tanger (NYSE:SKT | SKT Price Prediction), a retail REIT that owns and operates outlet shopping centers across the U.S., delivered an on-the-ground read of the U.S. shopper on a recent CNBC appearance, telling viewers that consumers have kept coming back to Tanger’s shopping centers since the beginning of the year. CEO Yalof says that despite anticipated headwinds from rising, sticky inflation, the company is seeing traffic up and sales up across its outlet portfolio. His commentary offers a window into a roughly 38-center outlet REIT concentrated in secondary and Southeastern markets rather than major coastal cities.
What Yalof Is Seeing in the Outlet Channel According to Yalof, today’s shopper wants entertainment and food experiences in addition to shopping, which is why Tanger has been reframing its centers as lifestyle destinations rather than pure discount stops. He flagged Gen Z as a standout segment that wants to shop in physical environments, touch products, and shop in groups, summarizing the behavior as “shopping is entertainment again.”
Yalof also said Tanger is borrowing a lesson from the full-price retail world: consumers “might come for food but stay for shopping,” driving cross-shopping across tenants. On brand traction, he pointed to a value-and-trade-down dynamic, with names like Coach and Ralph Lauren resonating with younger shoppers in the outlet channel.
The Numbers Behind the Commentary Tanger’s own first-quarter results offer a quantitative backdrop for the CEO’s optimism. The company reported Core FFO of $0.59 per share, up 11% from the prior year, with occupancy ending the quarter at 97%, up 120 basis points year-over-year, and sales productivity of $482 per square foot on a trailing 12-month basis. Revenue came in at $150.42M, ahead of a $143.65M estimate, while net income rose 53.21% year over year to $29.4M. Leasing activity hit record levels with 651 leases totaling 3.4 million square feet over the last 12 months and blended rent spreads of 10.5%.
Yalof paired that with a capital-return signal, noting a 7% increase in the dividend supported by earnings growth and conservative payout ratios. Tanger now carries a dividend yield near 2.97% and trades at roughly 38x trailing earnings, with a $4.66B market cap.
Retail Sales Data Confirms These Trends Independent data partially confirms these trends. U.S. retail sales have climbed five months in a row, from $734,503M in January 2026 to $763,705M in May 2026, the highest reading in the 12-month series. BEA personal consumption expenditures also stepped up each month of 2026, reaching $22,059.8B in May 2026, with recreation and food services spending both higher year over year.
Sentiment tells a different story. The University of Michigan index sat at 49.8 in April 2026, down 6.6% from a month earlier, deep in what the survey treats as recessionary territory. That gap between how consumers feel and what they spend is the key tension Yalof’s commentary speaks to.
What to Watch Yalof’s comments reinforce a theme that has puzzled investors throughout 2026: consumers continue to spend even as surveys suggest they’re becoming more pessimistic. Tanger’s rising traffic at outlet locations, higher sales, record leasing activity, and increased guidance all point to continued resilience in discretionary retail, particularly among value-oriented shoppers.
Whether that strength persists will become clearer over the second half of the year. Investors might get more insights over time from holiday-season traffic, tenant sales productivity, occupancy trends, and whether inflation or tariffs begin to meaningfully pressure consumer spending.
Whether it's through stocks, bonds, ETFs, or other types of securities, all investors love seeing their portfolios score big returns. However, when you're an income investor, your primary focus is generating consistent cash flow from each of your liquid investments.
While cash flow can come from bond interest or interest from other types of investments, income investors hone in on dividends. A dividend is the distribution of a company's earnings paid out to shareholders; it's often viewed by its dividend yield, a metric that measures a dividend as a percent of the current stock price. Many academic studies show that dividends make up large portions of long-term returns, and in many cases, dividend contributions surpass one-third of total returns.
Headquartered in Greensboro, Tanger (SKT - Free Report) is a Finance stock that has seen a price change of 17.26% so far this year. The factory outlet mall operator is currently shelling out a dividend of $0.31 per share, with a dividend yield of 3.19%. This compares to the REIT and Equity Trust - Retail industry's yield of 3.77% and the S&P 500's yield of 1.43%.
Looking at dividend growth, the company's current annualized dividend of $1.25 is up 8.4% from last year. Over the last 5 years, Tanger has increased its dividend 4 times on a year-over-year basis for an average annual increase of 14.37%. Looking ahead, future dividend growth will be dependent on earnings growth and payout ratio, which is the proportion of a company's annual earnings per share that it pays out as a dividend. Tanger's current payout ratio is 49%, meaning it paid out 49% of its trailing 12-month EPS as dividend.
SKT is expecting earnings to expand this fiscal year as well. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2026 is $2.48 per share, representing a year-over-year earnings growth rate of 6.44%.
Investors like dividends for many reasons; they greatly improve stock investing profits, decrease overall portfolio risk, and carry tax advantages, among others. But, not every company offers a quarterly payout.
High-growth firms or tech start-ups, for example, rarely provide their shareholders a dividend, while larger, more established companies that have more secure profits are often seen as the best dividend options. Income investors must be conscious of the fact that high-yielding stocks tend to struggle during periods of rising interest rates. With that in mind, SKT is a compelling investment opportunity.

All investors love getting big returns from their portfolio, whether it's through stocks, bonds, ETFs, or other types of securities. However, when you're an income investor, your primary focus is generating consistent cash flow from each of your liquid investments.
Cash flow can come from bond interest, interest from other types of investments, and, of course, dividends. A dividend is that coveted distribution of a company's earnings paid out to shareholders, and investors often view it by its dividend yield, a metric that measures the dividend as a percent of the current stock price. Many academic studies show that dividends account for significant portions of long-term returns, with dividend contributions exceeding one-third of total returns in many cases.
Headquartered in Greensboro, Tanger (SKT - Free Report) is a Finance stock that has seen a price change of 9.86% so far this year. The factory outlet mall operator is currently shelling out a dividend of $0.29 per share, with a dividend yield of 3.19%. This compares to the REIT and Equity Trust - Retail industry's yield of 4.02% and the S&P 500's yield of 1.39%.
Looking at dividend growth, the company's current annualized dividend of $1.17 is up 1.5% from last year. Over the last 5 years, Tanger has increased its dividend 4 times on a year-over-year basis for an average annual increase of 14.37%. Looking ahead, future dividend growth will be dependent on earnings growth and payout ratio, which is the proportion of a company's annual earnings per share that it pays out as a dividend. Tanger's current payout ratio is 50%, meaning it paid out 50% of its trailing 12-month EPS as dividend.
SKT is expecting earnings to expand this fiscal year as well. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2026 is $2.46 per share, with earnings expected to increase 5.58% from the year ago period.
From greatly improving stock investing profits and reducing overall portfolio risk to providing tax advantages, investors like dividends for a variety of different reasons. However, not all companies offer a quarterly payout.
For instance, it's a rare occurrence when a tech start-up or big growth business offers its shareholders a dividend. It's more common to see larger companies with more established profits give out dividends. Income investors must be conscious of the fact that high-yielding stocks tend to struggle during periods of rising interest rates. That said, they can take comfort from the fact that SKT is not only an attractive dividend play, but also represents a compelling investment opportunity with a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy).
Key Takeaways Five dividend stocks raise payouts as inflation, rates and geopolitical risks fuel market volatility.SKT declared a 31-cent dividend, marking eight hikes in five years with a 50% payout ratio.JNJ, STZ, FNB and KNOP also lifted payouts, signaling stable financials amid uncertainty. The U.S. economic landscape remains resilient. However, investors should remain cautious due to various domestic and geopolitical uncertainties. Inflation remains the primary concern as energy costs begin to bite. The Consumer Price Index jumped to 3.3% over the last 12 months in March, driven by a 21.2% spike in gasoline prices. While core inflation remains relatively stable at 2.6%, the wholesale side is seeing pressure, with the Producer Price Index hitting 4% year over year.
Looking ahead, the near-term outlook is heavily influenced by geopolitical developments, particularly the conflict in the Middle East, which has caused massive volatility in energy prices. However, hopes for a truce have brought some stability to oil prices. At the same time, ongoing conflicts involving Russia and Ukraine, as well as U.S.-China trade uncertainties, also pose downside risks. These factors can disrupt global supply chains, energy prices and global trade flows, which will eventually nudge inflation higher. The Federal Reserve has adopted a "wait-and-see" approach, holding interest rates between 3.5% and 3.75%. Elevated interest rates could negatively influence borrowing costs and corporate investment decisions.
As a result, cautious investors can diversify their portfolios and pick dividend-paying stocks. Some of the prominent names are: TANGER INC (SKT - Free Report) , F.N.B. (FNB - Free Report) , Johnson & Johnson (JNJ - Free Report) , Constellation Brands (STZ - Free Report) andKNOT Offshore Partners (KNOP - Free Report) . Companies that pay out dividends consistently indicate a healthy business model. Stocks that have raised dividends recently exhibit a sound financial structure and can counter market upheavals. Moreover, stocks that tend to reward investors with a high dividend payout outperform non-dividend-paying entities in a highly volatile market.

Whether it's through stocks, bonds, ETFs, or other types of securities, all investors love seeing their portfolios score big returns. But when you're an income investor, your primary focus is generating consistent cash flow from each of your liquid investments.
While cash flow can come from bond interest or interest from other types of investments, income investors hone in on dividends. A dividend is the distribution of a company's earnings paid out to shareholders; it's often viewed by its dividend yield, a metric that measures a dividend as a percent of the current stock price. Many academic studies show that dividends account for significant portions of long-term returns, with dividend contributions exceeding one-third of total returns in many cases.

In comparison, the REIT and Equity Trust - Retail industry's yield is 4%, while the S&P 500's yield is 1.39%.

Over the last 5 years, Tanger has increased its dividend 4 times on a year-over-year basis for an average annual increase of 14.37%.

SKT is expecting earnings to expand this fiscal year as well. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2026 is $2.46 per share, with earnings expected to increase 5.58% from the year ago period.
Investors like dividends for many reasons; they greatly improve stock investing profits, decrease overall portfolio risk, and carry tax advantages, among others. But, not every company offers a quarterly payout.
For instance, it's a rare occurrence when a tech start-up or big growth business offers its shareholders a dividend. It's more common to see larger companies with more established profits give out dividends. During periods of rising interest rates, income investors must be mindful that high-yielding stocks tend to struggle. With that in mind, SKT is a compelling investment opportunity. Not only is it a strong dividend play, but the stock currently sits at a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).

Investors like dividends for a variety of different reasons, from tax advantages and decreasing overall portfolio risk to considerably improving stock investing profits. But, not every company offers a quarterly payout.
High-growth firms or tech start-ups, for example, rarely provide their shareholders a dividend, while larger, more established companies that have more secure profits are often seen as the best dividend options. Income investors have to be mindful of the fact that high-yielding stocks tend to struggle during periods of rising interest rates. With that in mind, SKT is a compelling investment opportunity. Not only is it a strong dividend play, but the stock currently sits at a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold).
