I'd Put My Entire TFSA Into This 7 Percent Monthly-Paying Dividend Stock
Written by Aditya Raghunath at The Motley Fool Canada Canadian investors should consider holding quality dividend stocks in their TFSA (Tax-Free Savings Account) to benefit from a steady stream of passive income and long-term capital gains. Moreover, these returns, if generated in a TFSA, are exempt from Canada Revenue Agency taxes. The TFSA contribution room in 2025 has increased to $7,000, bringing the cumulative contribution limit to $102,000. Here's why I would allocate my entire TFSA contribution room for 2025 to this monthly-paying dividend stock. Is this dividend stock a good buy? Valued at a market cap of $160 million, Decisive Dividend (TSXV:DE) is a diversified Canadian manufacturing company operating through Finished Product and Component Manufacturing segments. It produces wood-burning stoves, fireplace inserts, and fireplaces across North America and internationally. The company also manufactures industrial equipment, including air blast sprayers, wastewater evaporator systems, wear parts, valves, and CNC machined components. Additional offerings include road maintenance equipment, automotive components, fuel tanks, conveyor systems, and retail merchandising solutions for consumer goods customers. Decisive Dividend went public in September 2013 and has since returned over 1,000% to shareholders in dividend-adjusted gains. Despite its outsized gains, the dividend stock offers you a forward yield of 7.2%. Decisive Dividend delivered its strongest quarter in the first quarter (Q1) in company history. It reported $39.2 million in consolidated sales for the first quarter, representing a 34% year-over-year increase. The Canadian manufacturing company generated $7 million in adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization), nearly matching the combined total of Q1 and Q2 of 2024. Decisive Dividend reported revenue growth across business segments. The hearth businesses (Blaze King and ACR) achieved a 17% sales growth despite entering a traditionally low sales period. Agriculture businesses, including Slimline's sprayer products and IHT, reported 31% higher sales, driven by a strong recovery in pork pricing that restored farmer confidence after challenging profitability years. Industrial products businesses saw a 32% increase in sales, while the merchandising division grew by 38%. The addition of Techbelt to the wear parts portfolio contributed to a 70% increase in that segment. Its free cash flow, less maintenance capital expenditures, more than doubled year over year. A widening free cash flow base allowed it to narrow the dividend payout ratio from 96% to 82% in the last 12 months. The company also improved its leverage ratio from 3.1 times to 2.7 times, strengthening balance sheet capacity for future acquisitions. Is the dividend stock undervalued? Analysts tracking Decisive Dividend forecast revenue to increase from $128 million in 2024 to $221 million in 2028. Comparatively, free cash flow is estimated to improve from $6 million to $28 million in this period. If the dividend stock is priced at 15 times forward free cash flow, which is reasonable, it should surge over 160% over the next three years. After accounting for the 7.2% dividend yield, cumulative returns could be closer to 200%. Management maintains an optimistic outlook based on 60% higher order backlogs compared to the year-ago period and continued strong April order activity. It plans to launch six new hearth products in 2025, including the E16 stove for North America and the Tempest overnight burn stove for the U.K. market. However, uncertainty remains regarding the potential impacts of U.S. trade policies, as 50% of sales flow into the American market. The company is focusing its acquisition efforts on domestic resource-focused businesses, U.S.-based operations within existing verticals, and UK opportunities to mitigate trade risks while maintaining growth momentum.

This Renewable Energy Stock Is Down 35% and Ready to Soar
Written by Karen Thomas, MSc, CFA at The Motley Fool Canada Global energy demand is expected to remain strong for the foreseeable future, with renewable energy making up an increasingly larger portion of total demand. This is effectively elevating the business prospects for renewable energy companies like Northland Power (TSX:NPI). Yet, this renewable energy stock is down over 35% in the last five years, resulting in a strong, undervalued opportunity for investors. Here's why I think Northland Power stock is on the cusp of strong performance in the years ahead. New projects to drive cash flows for this renewable energy stock As you can see from Northland Power's stock price graph below, this renewable energy stock has had a rough time in the last five years. This price decline was a function of many things, such as rising interest rates, leverage, and inflation. Today, the macro environment is much improved, with lower interest rates and inflation. This is bringing positive changes to Northland's financial position. Also, Northland's battery storage project is now completed and in operation, and two of its other major projects, Baltic Power and Hai Long, are nearing the end stages of their development. This will mean lower capital expenditures as well as a significant ramp-up in cash flows in the coming two years. These projects will add $600 million to Northland's adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA). Also, they will add $200 million to Northland Power's free cash flow. Northland Power: A diversified renewable stock Northland Power has a global footprint of 3.4 gigawatts of energy in operation and 2.2 gigawatts under construction. This footprint is diversified both geographically and by energy source. From Canada to Northern Europe to Taiwan, this diversification gives Northland more stability in its operations and financial performance. Looking ahead, the two new projects that are expected to come onstream in the next couple of years will provide further diversification. Furthermore, Northland's renewable assets are also diversified across energy sources. With clean-burning natural gas, wind, solar, and battery energy storage assets, Northland is ready to meet the demand growth for renewable energy. A strengthening balance sheet Finally, I'd like to address Northland's balance sheet. As you know, the company's business is highly capital-intensive. Back in 2021, Northland's long-term debt peaked at over $7 billion. Today, the company has managed to bring this debt level down to $6.1 billion. Also, as you know, interest rates have come down significantly in recent years. They hit 5% in 2023, but have since declined to the current 2.75%. This, coupled with Northland's debt reduction, is resulting in lower interest payments and healthier financials. The company currently has $1.1 billion of liquidity on the balance sheet to fund new projects. Management's guidance for adjusted EBITDA in 2025 is $1.3 billion to $1.4 billion. This represents an increase of between 3% and 11% versus 2024. As we head into 2026 and 2027, cash flow will get an additional boost from the newly completed projects, Hai Long and Baltic Power. The bottom line In closing, this renewable energy stock is gearing up to really see the benefits from its recent capital-intensive years. As its two new projects come into service in the next couple of years, cash flows will get a boost, and Northland's risk profile will decrease. As a result, the stock's valuation will rise.

A 7.6% Dividend Stock Paying Cash Every Single Month
Written by Kay Ng at The Motley Fool Canada Are you looking for high monthly income from your investments? Whitecap Resources (TSX:WCP), a Canadian oil-weighted producer, might be flying under your radar. While energy stocks are often seen as volatile and more suitable for trading than income, Whitecap Resources breaks this notion with a hefty 7.6% dividend yield — paid in cash every single month. At a recent share price of $9.63, a $10,000 investment in Whitecap would generate approximately $757 annually, or about $63 per month. But is this eye-catching dividend too good to be true? Is the dividend safe? One of the first questions any prudent investor should ask is whether a high dividend is sustainable. In Whitecap Resources's case, the short answer is yes — for now. Whitecap's dividend is currently covered by both its free cash flow and earnings. Over the trailing 12 months, the company paid out only 68% of its free cash flow and 47% of its net income. With a breakeven West Texas Intermediate oil price of around US$55 per barrel — and current oil prices sitting above US$68 — there's a decent cushion. This year, the company is targeting production between 295,000 and 300,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day and expects to generate $2.8 billion in funds flow, or about $2.79 per share. Its planned capital expenditures total $2.0 billion, which still leaves room to support dividend payments — $431.4 million over the past 12 months — with some flexibility left over. To top it off, Whitecap is considering buying back shares, a move that can enhance shareholder value over time, especially since shares appear to be undervalued at the moment. Its balance sheet remains solid, with a long-term debt-to-capital ratio of just 13.7%. The risk you can't ignore However, it would be misleading to focus only on the present. Whitecap Resources's dividend history shows that it is highly sensitive to extreme market downturns. In 2020, during the pandemic-induced oil crash, Whitecap cut its dividend by 36%. Back in 2016, amid another energy price collapse, the dividend was slashed by nearly 54%. Each time, share prices also plummeted — falling below $1 during COVID and to around $6 in 2016. But there's a silver lining: both times, Whitecap raised its dividend again once markets recovered. That speaks to a management team willing to restore income when the business stabilizes, though it's clear the payout isn't immune to commodity price shocks. Investors should view Whitecap as a high-yield play with built-in volatility. It's best suited as a satellite position in a diversified portfolio — something to juice income or as a trading position that targets total returns with a focus on price gains, not something to anchor your retirement. Should you buy now? Whitecap Resources reports its second-quarter results on July 23, so waiting for that update could offer added clarity on the business performance and guidance. In the meantime, analysts believe the stock is undervalued by over 20% based on current oil prices and forecasted cash flows. That discount, paired with a secure (for now) 7.6% yield, makes this one of the more compelling income opportunities on the TSX. Bottom line: Whitecap pays a mouth-watering monthly dividend, backed by current cash flow, solid operations, and a strong balance sheet. Just don't forget — it's still an energy stock. If you've got the stomach for some bumps and a long-term outlook, this could be one dividend payer worth holding through the cycles.
