This Company Looks Like a Dividend Champion in the Making, and It Could Announce Another Dividend Hike Next Month
Key Points Dividend stocks can be great ways for investors to generate passive income. Good dividend companies generate enough money to cover and raise their dividends. This company just initiated its dividend in 2023 but has already hiked it significantly. 10 stocks we like better than T-Mobile US › Dividend stocks can be great ways for investors to generate reliable, passive income. But finding the right ones is more difficult than you might think. That's because stocks with ultra-high dividend yields may look appealing but have underlying issues. For instance, if a company struggles and its stock sinks significantly, the dividend yield will rise, but the company could still be at risk of a dividend cut. It's key for investors to analyze company financials and make sure the company can continue to generate enough free cash flow and earnings to not only cover the dividend but also increase the dividend annually. I've found one company could be a Dividend Champion in the making and may even announce another dividend hike next month. Business is thriving It's one of the larger mobile carriers in the U.S., and T-Mobile's (NASDAQ: TMUS) business has been thriving. Investors have rewarded the stock, sending shares up over 14% this year as of Aug. 14. For the second-quarter, T-Mobile reported diluted earnings per share of $2.84, up 14% year over year. Total revenue grew nearly 7%. The solid performance was driven by new customer growth, including postpaid net customer additions of 1.7 million, the company's highest second-quarter additions ever and industry leading, according to T-Mobile. The company also grew 5G broadband customers by 454,000, up 12% year over year and industry-leading growth as well. T-Mobile's success in part stems from its marketing strategy of being the "un-carrier," which essentially means trying to be the opposite of a traditional carrier by eliminating hidden fees and not forcing customers to sign longer-term, more prohibitive contracts. A newer dividend that could grow over time T-Mobile is a relatively new dividend company, having only initiated its dividend in 2023. The quarterly dividend started at $0.65, but management hiked it to $0.88 in September of 2024, representing a 35% increase. That puts the annual yield at 1.40% at the current stock price, which is not a high dividend yield, but a quick start for a company that's been paying a dividend for less than two years. The good news is the dividend looks more than sustainable for now and there's room to grow it. The company has a trailing 12-month free cash flow yield of 4.25% and a payout ratio of nearly 31%. To put that in terms that are easier to understand, T-Mobile has paid out about $3.78 billion of dividends over the last year. Management is guiding for $17.8 billion of free cash flow this year at the midpoint of its guidance, plenty to cover the dividend payout. Another dividend hike could also be coming. When the company initiated the dividend at the end of 2023, management said their intent was to grow it 10% annually. The company declared its last dividend hike in September of 2024, meaning another hike could come next month based on the limited history we have. Is T-Mobile a Dividend Champion in the making? A Dividend Champion is a company that has raised its quarterly dividend for at least 25 straight years. T-Mobile is off to a good start but certainly has a long way to go, so it's no guarantee that it will become a Dividend Champion. There are some risks including high debt. At the end of the second quarter, T-Mobile had $6.4 billion of short-term debt and over $75 billion of long-term debt. Meanwhile, cash and cash equivalents were roughly $10.3 billion. Part of the reason for this debt pile is due to all of the acquisitions T-Mobile has made in recent years, with eight acquisitions since 2021. This is certainly something for investors to keep an eye on. However, the acquisitions as well as momentum in the business have translated into higher revenue and free-cash-flow growth. While I can't predict whether T-Mobile will become a Dividend Champion in 23 years, I like the trajectory of the dividend right now and certainly think the company is on the right path.

The AT&T CEO's blunt memo is a test case for leaders
Business Insider spoke with current and former CEOs about AT&T chief John Stankey's viral memo to managers. They discussed the memo's tone and the challenges of implementing cultural change at a big company. Former Medtronic CEO Bill George said he doesn't believe workplace loyalty is dead — it's just changing. One business leader called AT&T CEO John Stankey's memo"a bold statement." Others praised the intent but critiqued the execution. Another suspected employee attrition was the desired result. The viral memo — in which Stankey suggested that employees not on board with the company's "dynamic, customer-facing business" could find new jobs — has generated plenty of feedback from readers. So Business Insider decided to speak with other business leaders about what they thought. While their responses to Stankey's 2,500-word memo to managers differed, the four current or former CEOs Business Insider spoke with had plenty of thoughts to share. We asked for their take on Stankey's message, tone, and what other senior executives could glean from the conversations his memo sparked about workplace loyalty. A shifting employee-employer contract Bill George, former chairman and CEO of Medtronic and executive education fellow at Harvard Business School, told Business Insider that AT&T was historically "one of the world's most paternalistic firms," and it rewarded loyalty. The world has changed, George said, and Stankey was telling employees that "we live in a very competitive world, and we have to focus on our customers." The AT&T chief explicitly lays out the end of a now-dated workplace contract between white-collar employers and employees, Business Insider's chief correspondent Aki Ito recently wrote. "The days of lifetime job security and pensions are long gone," said Ito. "But CEOs have rarely acknowledged the change, because they've gotten a lot of hard work out of their staff who still believe they'll be taken care of in return. At least Stankey is clear: He won't even pretend to be loyal to his workers." George said he doesn't believe workplace loyalty is dead; the arrangement is simply changing. "Companies should be loyal to performers, the people that are committed to the mission and the values of the company," he said. "Should they be loyal to people that performed in the past but not in the present; that are complacent; that don't want to come to work; that aren't willing to put in the effort? No." For many Gen Z and millennial workers, the concept of workplace loyalty — on behalf of either companies or workers — may feel antiquated. After all, these generations have experienced waves of layoffs, economic uncertainty, political polarization, and a pandemic that upended traditional workplace norms, just as they were getting established in their careers. Younger workers have "come of age in a time when nothing in the world could be counted on," Jennifer Dulski, Rising Team CEO and founder, and management lecturer at the Stanford Graduate School of Business, told Business Insider. "Being blindly loyal to anything doesn't make sense." 'Direct, even blunt, communication' The memo was "certainly a bold statement," said Doug Dennerline, CEO of performance management platform Betterworks. Dennerline, a former Cisco executive, said he thought the purpose of the memo was to intentionally reduce head count. "He's expecting to get turnover from this, and must want it," Dennerline told Business Insider. Rising Team's Dulski, a former Google and Yahoo executive, said she thought Stankey made it clear AT&T was listening to its employees by sharing the results of the company's recent employee engagement survey. "They said, 'We heard you,'" she said. "That is a good thing." Dulski said she would have opted for a different tone. The memo "starts from a place of lack of trust," she said. Dulski worried that focusing so much on employees who weren't aligned with the company's mission risked "alienating everyone, including their best employees." George echoed some of Dulski's concerns over tone. He said he thought the language used was "not at all thoughtful enough and empowering enough." Whether the memo was effective depends on Stankey's goal, said James D. White, former CEO of Jamba Juice and coauthor of the forthcoming book "Culture Design." "Direct, even blunt, communication can move things forward if employees already feel heard and respected," White wrote in an email to Business Insider. "If they don't, a message this firm can risk disengagement." Creating cultural change at a legacy company Creating a true cultural shift is challenging at such a big company, Dulski said. "It is hard, especially for large organizations, to do transformation at scale," said Dulski. (Her organization, Rising Team, helps companies enact these sorts of cultural changes through its software tools.) Of course, transformations don't happen overnight in any company. A good next step, said George, would be for Stankey to tour AT&T offices around the country, meet with workers, and learn more about customer concerns. "Have a dialogue with employees," suggested George. "Be serious about the cultural change. Customer focus doesn't come from the top. It can be guided from the top, but the customer focus is on one-to-one interactions."
