As they say, “Knowledge is power.”For businesses and investors, access to intelligence and data can make all the difference when it comes to finding success. Portfolio and business decisions thrive on the ability to analyze and see what’s coming. As such, those firms providing the data and insights into it aren’t luxuries, but necessities for modern portfolio management. That position puts these firms—such as our latest Best Dividend Capture Pick—in the driving seat for strong profits and cash flows!

Our latest pick happens to be one of the biggest firms in this arena. Operating one of the largest ratings and research franchises in the world, bond and stock investors turn to our pick for information on credit profiles, equities, and commodities markets. This information is critical to building and maintaining portfolios. And with that, our pick collects a handsome fee for its services. And with high margins, it’s able to generate plenty of free cash flows for its own investors.
In addition to its core ratings and equity research businesses, our pick has continued to find growth as well. Our pick has long been one of the top index providers in the world, and now with ETFs and passive investing growing, it continues to earn heavy licensing fees from new fund launches and benchmarking. Second, forays into artificial intelligence queries, software, and data mining have created new revenue streams for many older traditional businesses. Smart acquisitions and data visualization have helped here as well. Meanwhile, specialty products and publications have given it an edge in fragmented industries.
The end all, be all is that our pick continues to be a great cash flow machine, driving plenty of dividend growth for its shareholders.
With that, investors have continued to take notice of our pick and its healthy payout growth. This has made it a great dividend capture play. A dividend capture strategy involves buying a stock before its ex-dividend date and then selling it after it has recovered the payout. With an ex-dividend date of Tuesday, August 27, our pick is primed for the strategy, as is evident from its historical track record of a recovery period within an average of 7 days after going ex-dividend.
For investors looking for a quick total return of income and capital appreciation, our data provider pick could be a lucrative option.
