With out additional ado, let’s set our sights on two dividend shares that presently boast juicy dividend yields north of 5%. Each Canadian monetary shares look low-cost and able to develop their payouts at a gradual fee over the subsequent 5 years and maybe past that.

Energy Company of Canada

Energy Company of Canada (TSX:POW) isn’t precisely the kind of inventory you’d need to talk about amongst associates. It’s a serious holding firm that’s behind a wealth of economic service manufacturers. Certainly, it’s a really boring Canadian monetary that hasn’t actually had a ton of motion up to now +15 years.

At writing, shares of POW go for $37 and alter, just about the place they had been approach again in mid-2007, proper earlier than the Nice Monetary Disaster struck. Undoubtedly, it took fairly some time for shares to rebound, however after an upbeat previous yr (shares rose practically 9%), POW inventory could lastly be in for a breakout second. It’s been a very long time coming.

Even when POW inventory is destined to go sidelines for longer, buyers may have the chance to snag the 5.93% dividend yield. At 10.9 occasions trailing value to earnings (P/E), you’re getting a fairly regular money cow for not all too excessive a value.

Nice-West Lifeco

Nice-West Lifeco (TSX:GWO) is an insurer that boasts a pleasant 5.17% dividend yield on the time of writing. At 14.5 occasions trailing P/E and not too long ago eclipsed new all-time highs of round $45 per share, GWO inventory appears to examine all the proper containers. Momentum? Examine. Bountiful and well-covered dividend yield? Examine. Modest valuation? Examine!

With the agency not too long ago clocked in an exceptional quarter alongside a beneficiant 7% dividend improve, there’s by no means been a greater time to offer the practically $40 billion insurer a re-examination. With new management adjustments within the books, it’ll definitely be attention-grabbing to see the place the underrated Canadian monetary heads are from right here. My guess is increased highs may very well be in sight for the dividend-growth gem within the making.

Lastly, with the 0.86 beta, shares of GWO are barely much less correlated to the TSX Index, making it a good way for earnings buyers to dodge and weave previous any future bouts of market volatility.
