juvaida khatun/iStock via Getty Images Fund strategy Invests in companies that have historically paid consistent and increasing dividends Diversifies broadly with stocks representing dividend-paying sectors, including non-traditional ones such as technology, basic materials and consumer discretionary Incorporates our extensive research capabilities to find companies with healthy balance sheets and potential for high income and total return Fund performance Columbia Dividend Opportunity Fund Institutional Class shares ( CDOZX ) returned 2.82% for the three months ended December 31, 2025. The fund underperformed the 3.81% return of its benchmark, the Russell 1000 Value Index – Net. For monthly performance information, please check online at columbiathreadneedleus.com. Market overview U.S. equities’ positive fourth-quarter return was primarily a function of the same factors that propelled the market over the full year: namely, better-than-expected economic growth, robust corporate earnings results and inflation that largely held below an annualized rate of 3%. In addition, the U.S. Federal Reserve provided a significant boost to investor sentiment through continued policy easing. The Fed cut rates by a quarter point at its meetings in October and December, and it announced an end of the multi-year effort to reduce the size of its balance sheet. The market also remained supported by ongoing enthusiasm about the artificial intelligence (AI) theme, albeit with a brief stretch of concern in November about a possible bubble in AI-related stocks. The quarter was characterized by a broadening of market leadership away from the mega-cap technology companies that had driven market performance for most of the year, and that broadening contributed to relative strength in the value style. However, dividend stocks generally underperformed, as investors continued to favor speculative companies over those with more defensive characteristics. Average annual total returns (%) as of Dec...

Key Points Sherwin-Williams' 13,470% run over 35 years shows that big profits can be made in the paint industry. However, shares have been flat for a year amid what CEO Heidi Petz called "a very challenging environment." Falling interest rates could bring on the "magic number" that jump-starts demand. 10 stocks we like better than Sherwin-Williams › In 1991, the paint-making company Sherwin-Williams (NYSE: SHW) was celebrating more than its 125th birthday. That year, profits climbed to $63 million on sales of $1.37 billion, securing Sherwin-Williams' place as one of the very few companies to dominate its industry for a century. Since then, profits have risen to $3.34 billion across all segments, a 5,200% rise. Capital appreciation naturally followed; since 1991, shares have returned 13,470%. Over the last few decades, Sherwin-Williams has been one of the very best stocks on Wall Street to own. Yet its recent returns have been disappointing, with shares almost exactly flat over the last 12 months even as the S&P 500 returned 14%. The lag comes amid what CEO Heidi Petz acknowledged as a "very challenging environment" that she expected would persist at least throughout the first half of 2026. Will AI create the world's first trillionaire? Our team just released a report on the one little-known company, called an "Indispensable Monopoly" providing the critical technology Nvidia and Intel both need. Continue » This was six months ago, however. In the same earnings call, Petz also pointed to a "magic number" approaching that could bring back the company's momentum. Sure enough, shares have rallied 12% in 2026 so far, possibly in anticipation of this. While many companies cheer falling interest rates, there's one related number that Sherwin-Williams and every construction-involved company is more interested in: the 30-year fixed mortgage rate. A 30-year fixed mortgage rate below 6% is a game-changer for Sherwin-Williams Since the Federal Reserve began ramping up interest r...

Drazen Zigic/iStock via Getty Images Introduction The last time I covered Omega Healthcare Investors, Inc. ( OHI ), I reiterated their Buy rating, backed by strong results and continued resilience despite facing macro pressure, while also improving their fundamentals and continuing their expansion. Following another solid report, good guidance, and potential to see their dividend increases resume after pausing them about 6 years ago, I continue to consider OHI a good Buy, being a strong REIT that should benefit from the tailwinds in the skilled nursing and assisted living facilities space. Internal Developments Omega Healthcare Investors IR OHI’s Q4 was solid overall, beating the market’s revenue and AFFO expectations , with their AFFO and FAD growth exceeding 8%, thanks to ~$1.1 billion in capital deployment while giving an AFFO guidance above estimates for 2026. We can see the AFFO reaching $249.77 million in Q4 and $946.16 million in 2025, in line with my previous expectations. For a $13.88 billion market cap, this places them at a P/AFFO ratio of ~14.67, which is not bad for a company like this. This also supports their ~5.92% dividend yield, which costs about $821.7 million, for a payout ratio of about 87%. However, during their Q4 Earnings Call , they also talked about their dividend, with the CEO mentioning the following: We're getting closer to needing to increase the dividend, but obviously, it's a Board call. And typically, we'll get to the point where we're required to increase our dividend from a tax perspective. And that's going to be in the low 80s in terms of FAD payout. That's how I would think about it. As for the guidance, OHI sees an AFFO between $3.15 to $3.25 per diluted share, for a midpoint of $3.20, meaning a bit over $1 billion in 2026, for a decent ~3.2% increase on a per-share basis. Omega Healthcare Investors IR Financially, based on OHI’s latest report , we continue to see a solid position, with a manageable amount of debt that’s well-co...

European wealth management was the latest sector to be rattled by artificial intelligence developments, as a new tool spurred concern that parts of the industry will be automated. St James’s Place Plc led a selloff on Wednesday, tumbling as much as 13%, with its UK peer Quilter Plc also falling. Swiss firms Julius Baer Group Ltd and UBS Group AG both declined about 4%. The moves tracked a drop in the shares of their US peers after the launch of a new service from tech startup Altruist that promised to create tax strategies for clients “within minutes.” Other companies, including those in insurance and software , have seen their shares plummet in recent days due to speculation around the perceived threat AI poses. RBC Capital Markets analyst Ben Bathurst said the drop in wealth management shares was due to “short-term” positioning. Investors are rushing to “replay a narrative that has played out in other industries,” he said, cautioning that the market reaction ignores the fact that certain financial advice tasks can’t be replaced by an AI agent. Read more: Wealth Manager Stocks Sink as Traders Flee Next AI Casualty (2) Those factors include wealth managers’ knowledge of a client’s personal circumstances and their ability to provide a broad range of services that will be difficult for a machine to replicate, according to Bathurst . The broker cited “moats” including regulatory barriers protecting the UK industry that he predicted will last at least a generation. What’s more, Bathurst pointed to the fact that the Altruist tool has been conceived to help financial advisors, “which we see as an implicit acknowledgment of the importance of the advisor in the delivery of service.”

Sergii Zyskо/iStock via Getty Images Philip Morris International ( PM ) is on watch after India confirmed that it will not relax its nationwide ban on e-cigarettes and heated tobacco products. The decision is a clear setback to Philip Morris International's ( PM ) efforts to launch IQOS and similar devices in the nation. The health ministry stated it is not considering amending or easing the 2019 law, which explicitly includes heat-not-burn products, and reiterated its commitment to evidence-based tobacco control and cessation policies. Notably, Philip Morris ( PM ) spent roughly four years privately lobbying Indian authorities, including senior officials and a parliamentary health panel, to carve out an exception for heated tobacco products and to commission local scientific studies on devices like IQOS. Company executives also raised the issue with Indian state officials at international forums such as Davos, presenting heated tobacco as a reduced-risk alternative and urging India to align with other markets that have allowed such products. India’s decision keeps in place one of the world’s strictest stances on newer nicotine products in a market that sells over 100 billion conventional cigarettes annually. For Philip Morris ( PM ), the decision closes off a large potential IQOS market for now and underscores regulatory risk around its overarching “smoke-free future” strategy. Shares of Philip Morris ( PM ) were down 0.3% in premarket trading.
