Hi, My name is Aaron and I‘m with Dividend Stocks Research, and today
were reviewing our recently published article…
How boring can you get?
A company that packages up financial products for community
banks.A company that manufactures
mattresses for baby cribs.
And a company that makes signs for gas stations.
They’re not thrilling, but they pay dividends. And you can buy each
one of these “boring” dividend stocks for less than $10.
What If You Ran A Small Town Bank?
There’s something you’d figure out in a hurry.
The only way you compete against the big guys is with your service.
But no matter how friendly your loan officers and your tellers are, you still need something to sell... home equity
lines of credit, money market accounts, and all sorts of fiduciary services.
First Busey Corp (BUSE)
You get these retail and commercial banking products and services from a company like First Busey Corporation
(BUSE).
Like everybody else in the banking business, First busey has been through a rough stretch. Sales are skidding, off
9% over the past five years.
First Busey Corp (BUSE)
But the company pays a nice dividend, and even though sales are sluggish and the stock price is down,
some good things are happening.
Important things. The company is strengthening its balance sheet and
reducing its long-term debt.
First Busey Corp (BUSE)
And while its profit margins aren’t anything to brag about, First Busey
is trending in the right direction, growing its margins, and becoming
more profitable.

If you like the future of America’s small town banks, you’ll like First

When Babies Burp, Investors Get Paid
Crown Crafts, Inc. Com. (CRWS)
Bedding and blankets for infants and toddlers. Changing mats, bibs, burp
cloths, and toilet seat covers.
Products like this aren’t exotic. But they are essential, and that’s why Crown Crafts, Inc. (CRWS) plugs
away growing its revenue and paying dividends. Sales are increasing and so is income.
Crown Crafts, Inc. Com. (CRWS)
There is zero long-term debt. And earnings per share have been going
up.
This is one of those companies that quietly flies under the radar. Not many analysts follow it, and it’s thinly traded, usually less than
25,000 shares a day.
Crown Crafts, Inc. Com. (CRWS)
But if you’re the kind of investor who loves a simple business, where
next quarter’s earnings don’t depend on a technology
breakthrough, you’ll love Crown Crafts.
Dividend Yield: 4.12%Annual Payout: .32
Payout Ratio: 49.2%
Crown Crafts, Inc. Com. (CRWS)
You pull into the gas station at night, and the big sign that’s lit up on the
canopy over the pumps is blazing away.
Or you’re at the counter in a fast food place checking out the menu on the
sign.
Chances are good you’re looking at something built by LSI Industries
(LYTS).
LSI Industries (LYTS)
LSI manufactures all kinds of backlit LED signs. The company
markets its products to commercial and industrial facilities, gas stations, convenience stores, restaurants, car
dealerships, and sports and entertainment venues.
LSI Industries (LYTS)
The past few years have been a bit rugged for LSI. The big question is
what kind of sales growth the company can deliver. Most analysts
are skeptical.
LSI Industries (LYTS)
The company is struggling to make money. But we like the looks of
the company’s balance sheet. Even if sales over the next few years are
rugged, and even if its tough to increase margins, LSI’s financial
house is in order. Payout Ratio: 50.0%
LSI Industries (LYTS)We also like to see a company’s CFO
buy his company’s stock, which happened at LSI this summer.
So, what do you think the sign outside the LSI headquarters in
Cincinnati should say?
LSI Industries (LYTS)
How about, “You can buy our stock for less than ten bucks, and we pay
a decent dividend.”
