Intro
Every month, we update the MaxDividends Buy / Hold / Sell List — our handpicked collection of elite dividend companies and the same list we rely on in our own portfolios.
The goal is simple: provide clear guidance on which dividend stocks are attractive to buy, which remain worth holding, and which may be time to sell.
Remove guesswork from dividend investing.
Buy when opportunities are attractive.
Hold when quality remains intact.
Sell when the investment case breaks.
This Month’s Changes
We continue strengthening the core of the Buy list with elite dividend compounders — businesses that combine exceptional financial discipline, strong dividend growth, and long-term structural advantages.
🟢 Buy — Status Update
The Buy list now includes 111 high-quality Dividend Eagles — businesses with exceptional financial strength, consistent dividend growth, and long-term income potential.
Including names like:
Fuchs Petrolub SE 🇩🇪
✔ 24-year dividend growth streak
✔ Undervalued
✔ Dividend Safety Score: 97 / 99
The MaxDividends Research Platform: Dividend Analysis.
Lockheed Martin 🇺🇸
✔ 23-year dividend growth streak
✔ Undervalued
✔ Dividend Safety Score: 98 / 99
The MaxDividends Research Platform: Dividend Analysis.
These are just two examples from the Dividend Eagles currently rated Buy. The complete Buy list is available inside the MaxDividends Research Platform.
🟡 Hold — Status Update
43 companies currently remain on Hold.
Most status changes were driven by valuation, elevated payout ratios, or Financial Scores falling below our Buy threshold. In many cases, business quality remains intact, but current conditions do not justify additional buying.
🔴 Sell — Status Update
Microchip Technology (MCHP) → Sell
We’re downgrading Microchip Technology to a sell. The dividend payout trend looks pretty odd. The company’s been borrowing to fund dividends for a few years now, and that’s not something that can keep going forever. Levels are getting pretty stretched. Maybe things improve, but we’d rather stay on the sidelines for now.
Why This List Matters
Most investors know what to buy. Far fewer know:
when to stop buying
when to keep holding
when to exit
The Buy / Hold / Sell List solves that problem.
The Full June 2026 Buy / Hold / Sell List is now available inside the MaxDividends Research Platform
