2 Great Dividend Stocks for the Long Haul You'll Likely Wish You Bought 10 Years From Now
Key Points Tractor Supply delivers a modest but well-supported dividend backed by a resilient rural retail niche. Starbucks offers a higher yield, but its payout ratio exceeds earnings, leaving investors dependent on management's business turnaround plan. Both dividend stocks look attractive for their own unique reasons. These 10 stocks could mint the next wave of millionaires › Tractor Supply (NASDAQ: TSCO) and Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX) have both established themselves as dependable dividend payers. Yet, their strengths, risks, and income profiles could not be more different. Tractor Supply, the leading rural retailer, has a smaller yield but comes with a track record of measured growth and strong coverage. Coffee giant Starbucks offers a richer payout but faces questions about its sustainability. Let's take a look at how each company's dividend stacks up today, consider the underlying business trends that support (or challenge) those payouts, and explore what income-focused investors should keep in mind before committing capital for the long haul. Choosing whether to invest in either of these companies isn't just about their dividend yield today. It's more complex than that. So, let's dig into what makes each of these dividend stocks unique and attractive in their own right. Tractor Supply: steady fundamentals and a sustainable payout Based on its stock price today, Tractor Supply offers investors a dividend yield of about 1.5%, paying $0.92 annually (the quarterly payment currently stands at $0.23). Importantly, the company has a payout ratio of just 44%, leaving plenty of room for the company to pay shareholders quarterly while reinvesting in its operations and repurchasing shares. In addition, a low payout ratio like this enables the rural retailer to maintain these practices while continuing to raise its dividend over time. Indeed, with 16 consecutive years of dividend increases, Tractor Supply has demonstrated a commitment to rewarding shareholders with a growing stream of cash in a disciplined fashion. Another key factor making Tractor Supply look attractive is its loyalty program, Neighbor's Club. The program now has 41 million members. Highlighting its importance, 80% of its sales come from members. This program drives repeat visits and helps the company better target promotions. It's a quiet advantage that supports the company's growth story and ultimately its dividend growth prospects. Tractor Supply's business has been resilient, benefiting from steady demand in rural and suburban markets. Its focus on rural lifestyle products, store expansion, and customer loyalty programs has provided a reliable growth engine. Starbucks: higher yield but more risk Starbucks pays a dividend yield of roughly 2.6% as of this writing. Its quarterly payments total $2.44 annually. While the payout is more generous than Tractor Supply's, there's more risk to it. This is evidenced by the fact that the company's payout ratio currently exceeds 100% of earnings. That means the coffee giant is currently paying more in dividends than it earns, raising questions about the dividend's long-term sustainability at this level unless profits improve. At the moment, the business doesn't look great on the surface. In its most recent quarter, Starbucks reported generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) earnings per share of $0.49, compared with a quarterly dividend of $0.61. Management has also notably opted not to provide full-year 2025 guidance as it works through plans to revitalize its business. So, for now, we just have to hope the company's slow revenue growth (sales increased just 2% year over year in the company's most recent quarter) will pick back up soon. Despite rough fundamentals at the moment, management is confident about the company's future. It believes its current negative sales trends are only temporary. Under new leadership, Starbucks is working to simplify its menu, speed up service, and modernize operations. If these efforts are successful and uncertainty is replaced by excitement, the stock price could benefit and the dividend will likely get robust support from growing earnings. For now, however, the higher yield comes with greater uncertainty. But that doesn't mean investors should rule Starbucks out. The higher yield helps make up for some of the uncertainty. Additionally, the stock price could jump if the company starts demonstrating a successful turnaround. The verdict on both of these dividend stocks? They make a dynamic pair when bought together. For investors seeking a reliable, lower-risk income stream backed by a durable business model, Tractor Supply is a great dividend investment idea. Its modest dividend yield is backed by a durable business, a long history, and excellent financials. Starbucks, on the other hand, offers a higher yield and the potential for a jump in the stock price if management's efforts to revitalize the business are successful.

Starbucks Corporation (SBUX): 'I Have Been A Huge Beleiver,' Says Jim Cramer
We recently published . Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ:SBUX) is one of the stocks Jim Cramer recently discussed. Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ:SBUX)'s stock has run into trouble in 2025 as it has gained a modest 2% year-to-date. Investors are concerned about the pace at which the firm's turnaround efforts are yielding results. In his previous comments about Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ:SBUX), Cramer has defended the firm and its CEO, Brian Niccol. He kept up with the defense this time as well: 'I have been a huge believer and my charitable trust, I'm talking about this tomorrow at our monthly meeting, that Brian is being sold short. Brian Niccol, because, the throughput was what he had to cure first. It's kind of like Lip-Bu Tan, he had to, you know, get the balance sheet first. It's throughput that has to be, and he is fixing throughput. I don't know when you last time went to Starbucks, but you're gonna find that they're four minutes. It used to be like fifteen, twenty minutes. And now it's four minutes. The airports have been just ridiculous. He even got the service at the airports, which was something that I complained about endlessly.' Cramer discussed Starbucks Corporation (NASDAQ:SBUX) in detail earlier. Here is what he said: 'Even though the headline numbers were weaker than expected, I found the overall results to be pretty encouraging. Keep in mind, Starbucks has been a long-term holding for my Charitable Trust, not always a good holding, but for the past year, ever since they poached Brian Niccol from Chipotle to take over as CEO, stock's been doing much better… Photo by nathan-dumlao-6VhPY27jdps-unsplash And that's what I found most encouraging about the Starbucks quarter, management's plan for improving the core business here at home. They're already showing some really promising results… At the end of the day, nothing else matters for Starbucks if it can't turn the US business around. Now, they've gotten a proven way to make that happen. There was plenty of other positive news too… While we acknowledge the potential of SBUX as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.

Starbucks rival continues its US expansion
Whether you're a coffee lover or not, Starbucks is nearly impossible to ignore. With over 40,000 locations in 80 countries, it has become the most recognizable name in coffee worldwide; chances are, almost everyone has tried something from its menu at least once. However, Starbucks has experienced a noticeable decline in recent years. Sales are down, store traffic has slowed, and concerns about the company's long-term growth have prompted a major turnaround strategy to revive its business. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter While Starbucks still dominates the market, smaller chains like Dutch Bros (BROS) , Scooter's Coffee, and 7 Brew Coffee have been gaining traction, steadily growing their customer bases. Now, Starbucks faces perhaps its most significant challenge yet. A powerful international rival has entered the U.S. market, threatening its position as a coffee leader. Related: Starbucks faces huge new rival Founded in 2017 in Beijing, Luckin Coffee (LKNCY) entered the coffee scene 46 years after Starbucks (SBUX) launched, and has already surpassed expectations. With over 22,000 stores, it's now the largest coffee chain in China, overshadowing Starbucks in that market. Although relatively unknown to Americans, Luckin Coffee immediately caught people's attention when it opened its first stores in New York City on June 30. It debuted two locations, one at 55 Broadway and another at 800 6th Ave., introducing its blue-and-white deer logo to the U.S. Image source:Luckin Coffee is known for its high-quality coffee and wide range of menu options at affordable prices. However, due to economic and currency differences, prices at its U.S. locations are understandably higher than in Asia. Starbucks has faced backlash over the last few months for raising its prices. In response to criticism, it simplified its menu and eliminated extra charges, a timely move that coincides with its rival's arrival in the U.S. Related: Starbucks' huge new rival opens first US stores When comparing their menus, Luckin Coffee clearly acknowledges Starbucks as a competitor. Both chains carry handcrafted coffee beverages, frappes, matcha drinks, and refreshers. Their prices are also very similar, with a 16-ounce drip coffee costing $3.45. And so far, U.S. consumers seem intrigued to give Luckin Coffee a chance. During its opening week, lines were out the door, with many people eager to try the new coffee shop in town. Keeping the momentum, Luckin Coffee has wasted no time expanding into the U.S. In a recent Instagram post, the company teased the grand opening of its third location in New York City, hinting that the new store will be "steps away from Columbus Circle" and asking people to guess the exact location. This sparked a wave of fans quickly flooding the comments section, with many commenting "901 8th Ave." More Food News: After bankruptcy, Starbucks rival plans aggressive expansionPizza Hut menu adds a completely new type of pizzaHershey teams up with Costco to make a dream candy combo The Chinese coffee chain also posted a picture to its Instagram story revealing the outside of the new coffee shop, which appears completed. Although Luckin Coffee has yet to provide an official date for the grand opening of its new location, it claims it will be opening very soon. To promote it, Luckin Coffee launched a scavenger hunt that will end on August 18 and allows participants to win prizes and free drinks. This suggests that the third store could open on Monday Aug. 18.
