These companies pay high-yielding and steadily rising dividends. I love investing in income-generating assets. The passive income they produce provides me with a sense of financial independence. My long-term financial goal is to grow my sources of passive income to the point where they cover my basic living expenses, enabling me to reach financial freedom. While I like most of my passive income investments, I have a few favorites. Brookfield Renewable (BEPC 0.93%)(BEP 1.12%), Main Street Capital (MAIN 1.14%), and Realty Income (O +1.63%) are my current favorite high-yielding dividend stocks to buy. Here's why I like them the most this month. Ample power to continue growing its payout Brookfield Renewable recently increased its dividend by another 5%. The leading renewable energy dividend stock has grown its payout by at least that annual rate since 2011. It currently offers a 3.7% dividend yield, more than triple the S&P 500's level of 1.1%. The company expects to deliver annual dividend growth of 5% to 9% going forward. It's in a strong position to achieve that target, given its outlook. Brookfield expects to grow its cash flow per share by more than 10% annually through at least 2030. Expand NYSE : BEPC Brookfield Renewable Today's Change ( -0.93 %) $ -0.39 Current Price $ 41.62 Key Data Points Market Cap $7.5B Day's Range $ 41.04 - $ 42.64 52wk Range $ 23.73 - $ 45.10 Volume 34K Avg Vol 1.1M Gross Margin 26.41 % Dividend Yield 3.55 % Several growth catalysts power that plan. Brookfield's vast renewable power platform generates steadily growing cash flow, underpinned by long-term contracts, most of which link revenues to inflation. Meanwhile, power prices are rising faster than inflation, enabling the company to lock in even more lucrative rates as legacy agreements expire. Additionally, Brookfield has a burgeoning backlog of renewable energy capacity under development and the financial flexibility to continue making value-enhancing acquisitions. Dual sources of p...

Supreme Court Allows New California Congressional Map That Favors Democrats Authored by Matthew Vadum via The Epoch Times, The U.S. Supreme Court on Feb. 4 allowed California to use its newly redrawn congressional map in the upcoming midterm elections over the objections of Republicans who filed to block it. The decision in Tangipa v. Newsom came in an unsigned order. No justices dissented. The court did not explain its ruling. California Republicans had filed an emergency application with the court on Jan. 20, asking the justices to block the map that gives Democrats an electoral advantage. The new ruling comes after the court on Dec. 4, 2025, upheld a redrawn election map that aimed to increase Republican representation in Texas’s U.S. House delegation. Republicans had argued that the new California map, which voters authorized in November 2025 by approving Proposition 50, constituted unlawful racial gerrymandering that the federal Voting Rights Act prohibits. Gerrymandering is the manipulation of electoral district boundaries to favor a particular party or constituency. The Supreme Court has previously ruled that race-based gerrymandering violates the U.S. Constitution but that redrawing district boundaries to boost partisan fortunes passes constitutional muster. In a 2–1 ruling delivered on Jan. 14, a three-judge federal panel in California rejected GOP arguments, describing the referendum as a proportional and legal reaction to Republicans undertaking redistricting efforts in Texas. “We find that Challengers have failed to show that racial gerrymandering occurred, and we conclude that there is no basis for issuing a preliminary injunction,” the court said in its written opinion. The judges said California’s move was a reaction to similar moves undertaken in Texas that President Donald Trump encouraged. “The stated goal of [the legislation authorizing the referendum] was to counter the actions of Texas and pick up an additional five Democratic seats,” the court ...

watch now VIDEO 13:00 13:00 Terrell Owens on Hall of Fame snub and biggest financial mistakes CNBC Sport NFL Hall of Famer Terrell Owens said Wednesday that the recent snubs of New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft and former coach Bill Belichick from the institution show the system is flawed, and someone needs to be held accountable. "It's just plain dumb" Owens told CNBC Sport in an interview in San Francisco ahead of Super Bowl LX. "Something has to change." The decisions not to vote Kraft and Belichick into the Pro Football Hall of Fame raised eyebrows because of the Patriots' success. With a win over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, the franchise would hold the most Super Bowl wins of any NFL team with seven. Belichick was the team's head coach for all six of its championship victories, including one over Owens' Philadelphia Eagles. 2018 Hall of Fame inductee Terrell Owens speaks during a ceremony at halftime of the game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Oakland Raiders at Levi's Stadium on Nov. 1, 2018 in Santa Clara, California. Daniel Shirey | Getty Images Owens suggested it may be Jim Porter, the Hall of Fame's president, who has the power to change the system. "He has to change or make some some adjustments or amendments into either the criteria or the mission statement of the Hall of Fame. Something has to be done," Owens said. He also placed the blame on the writers responsible for voting. "Whoever put the guidelines and the bylaws in place to ultimately land coaches and athletes in the most prestigious place that you could ever be, and that's Canton. If the people that you're appointed aren't adhering to that, then something's wrong. They should be held accountable. They should be stripped of their position," he said. The Pro Football Hall of Fame did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The former six-time Pro Bowler Owens would know something about Hall of Fame voting. Owens played 15 seasons in the NFL and was inducted into the Pr...

In this article AMZN Follow your favorite stocks CREATE FREE ACCOUNT Andy Jassy, CEO of Amazon, speaks during an unveiling event in New York, Feb. 26, 2025. Michael Nagle | Bloomberg | Getty Images Amazon CEO Andy Jassy has tapped one of the company's top marketplace executives to be his new "shadow" advisor, the company announced Wednesday. In a blog post , Amazon said Dharmesh Mehta, vice president of worldwide selling partner services, will become Jassy's technical advisor in March. Amazon said Amit Agarwal, its senior vice president of international stores, will take on Mehta's responsibilities as part of an expanded role that will also include its customer trust teams. The role of technical advisor, often referred to internally as a "shadow," is one of the most sought after positions in the company. The role involves accompanying Jassy to most of his meetings to learn more about Amazon's various businesses. Shadow advisors typically go on to assume greater roles inside the company. Jassy served as Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' shadow in the early 2000s , before he went on to be CEO of Amazon Web Services. Jay Marine, a top executive in Amazon's Prime Video streaming unit, was Bezos' shadow in 2013. Mehta replaces Alex Dunlap, a former AWS VP who was appointed Jassy's technical advisor in late 2024, Business Insider reported.

Meta has quietly purchased roughly 1,400 acres—an area almost twice the size of Manhattan’s Central Park—adjacent to its already-mammoth 2,250-acre Hyperion AI data center site in Richland Parish, La., Fortune has learned. The combined land parcels for the campus will bring the project to more than twice the size of the nearest international airport, Louis Armstrong in New Orleans. According to half a dozen people affiliated with companies working on or around the Meta site, the land purchase paves the way for a phase 2 expansion of the Hyperion project, which has been widely discussed, including by President Donald Trump, as one of the nation’s largest AI data centers in the works. Fortune observed active work underway on the newly acquired land, which several sources say was purchased from local landowner George B. Franklin & Sons roughly three to four months ago. Fortune visited the Richland Parish Assessor’s office, where staffers shared paperwork that said the parcel is still listed in Franklin’s name—though they emphasized it can take some time for the filed deed to be updated. Activity on the land, which lies west of the original site, included utility markings, heavy equipment, on-site workers, and portable facilities—signs consistent with early-stage site preparation. Permits were posted, but could not be read from the publicly accessible road. Meta declined to comment, though it had previously told Fortune that the company had “not shared anything about additional phases in terms of land.” George B. Franklin & Sons did not respond to Fortune’s request for comment. An expansion of AI ambitions The apparent expansion of Meta’s already enormous project offers a window into how the AI infrastructure boom is unfolding across the U.S. Hyperscalers—the Big Tech companies building out their AI infrastructure—are racing to lock up land, power, and financing for massive AI data-center campuses, often through debt-financed, politically sensitive expansions.

In the Q4 2025 Earnings Call, AMD's CEO, Dr. Lisa Su, stated that Valve is on track to start shipping the Steam Machine in early 2026. We know from earlier reports that Valve is reportedly launching the Steam Machine in 2026, and while AMD or Valve didn't disclose the exact date, we know for sure that the new AMD chip-based console will be arriving soon. ...From a product standpoint, Valve is on track to begin shipping its AMD-powered steam machine early this year.... - Dr. Lisa Su, CEO, AMD The Steam Machine will be powered by AMD's custom Zen 4 chip that will offer integrated graphics based on RDNA 3 architecture. According to reports, the Steam Machine is expected to as an alternative console to PS5 and Xbox Series S/X devices, but detailed specifications are unknown. The device is said to support 4K gaming, and according to Valve, the Steam Machine offers performance equal or better than at least 70% of the gaming PCs. This indicates the cubical device will be powerful enough to play most modern titles with ease, but pricing will be the key. Reports suggest that the Steam Machine will get 16 GB system RAM and an additional 8 GB as VRAM for running titles smoothly. Of course, 8 GB won't be enough for intensive titles, particularly at higher resolutions, but running most games smoothly with 8 GB VRAM is feasible. ...And development of Microsoft's next-gen Xbox featuring an AMD semi-custom SoC is progressing well to support a launch in 2027... - Dr. Lisa Su, CEO, AMD That said, AMD has also confirmed that the development of Microsoft's next-gen Xbox console is also on track, and the device is expected to launch in 2027.

By many counts, SpaceX is the most successful venture Elon Musk ever started. The rocket maker revolutionized the space industry, built a multibillion-dollar business fueled by lucrative government contracts and a growing satellite communications network, and still has few credible competitors. XAI Holdings is not that. The company, which owns Musk’s AI startup and the social network X, is saddled with billions of dollars in debt, besieged by well-funded rivals and faces mounting regulatory scrutiny after its chatbot spread sexualized images. It also brings in scant revenue, compared to SpaceX. Much of what it does generate comes from Musk’s other businesses. Over the past year, xAI has been buoyed by a web of contracts and investments between Musk’s ventures, with echoes of the circular deals underpinning the wider AI sector – except in this case, these arrangements are strictly within the business empire of the world’s richest man. Now, xAI is getting its largest lift to date, courtesy of Musk’s crown jewel, SpaceX. On Monday, Musk announced plans to merge the two companies in a deal that values the enlarged entity at $1.25 trillion ahead of an expected IPO. To some industry watchers, the combination appears poised to create a juggernaut that appeals to a broader swath of Wall Street investors, and possibly spurs a sci-fi-sounding race to put AI data centers in space . To others, including some insiders , the acquisition looks less like a merger than a rescue mission. It wouldn’t be the first time one Musk venture has come to the aid of another. X, formerly known as Twitter, was performing so badly after Musk’s $44 billion acquisition that the Wall Street banks that helped finance the deal couldn’t get the debt off their books. Last March, Musk merged X with xAI to value the social network at $45 billion, including debt, even though X’s revenue was down by nearly half from the buyout in 2022. X is still paying tens of millions or more every month to cover the inte...

cagkansayin/iStock via Getty Images When I last assessed AbbVie Inc. ( ABBV ), I was focused on VENCLEXTA, an oncology drug that the company was hoping to expand into myelodysplastic syndrome, or MDS. As it turned out, the Phase 3 registration-enabling VERONA trial flunked, leaving the blockbuster drug “stuck” in CLL, SLL, and AML. Such are the realities of drug development. For a company the size of AbbVie, the MDS disappointment was “merely a blip on [its] radar.” Still, the VERONA failure highlighted a weakness inherent in AbbVie’s business: its dependence on Immunology in a post-HUMIRA exclusivity world. That said, SKYRIZI and RINVOQ have been doing the heavy work in Immunology, and its Oncology and Neuroscience portfolios looked strong at that time. Combined with a generous dividend yield >3% and a reasonable valuation, made me rate ABBV a “ Buy .” Seeking Alpha Recent Developments A lot of big pharmas in the sector are dealing with near-term loss of exclusivity on legacy blockbusters. For AbbVie, its legacy shadow has been HUMIRA. However, despite HUMIRA's loss of exclusivity, AbbVie’s Immunology portfolio has been held up by biologics like SKYRIZI and RINVOQ. Of course, Immunology is a massive market. Being a leader here deserves its own premium. AbbVie has been busy trying to diversify its earnings, leaning on acquisitions to boost its Neuroscience and Oncology portfolios. In the fourth quarter of 2025 , growth was once again led by Immunology, which the company reported was up 18.3% to $8.626 billion. Here, roughly 30% year-over-year gains for both SKYRIZI and RINVOQ were plenty enough to offset HUMIRA’s 26% decline (which was less steep than the market was expecting).

straga GE Vernova ( GEV ) was upgraded Wednesday at Baird to Outperform from Neutral with a $923 price target, raised from $701, after lowering shares just a month ago, now believing the energy infrastructure cycle is still in the early innings and GEV is "squarely positioned as one of the biggest beneficiaries." Baird analyst Ben Kallo previously was concerned with overcapacity in the market for gas power following a series of competitor announcements, but he said recent checks eased his concerns in the near- to intermediate- term. GE Vernova ( GEV ) ended 2025 with 83 GW of gas turbine capacity contracted, divided roughly 50-50 between firm orders and slot reservation agreements, Kallo said, adding that a few slots are still available in 2029 and 2030, but GEV expects these will be sold out by year-end 2026, which would leave the company with no available gas capacity through the rest of the decade, absent a capacity expansion. CEO Scott Strazik's comments at a competitor conference in September 2025 and on GE Vernova's ( GEV ) Q4 earnings call lead to expectations that the company will ultimately be sold out through 2035, even if next-decade deals come at lower price points, the analyst said.
