Happy Super Bowl Sunday To Those Who Celebrate! 🏈
Can't invest directly in the NFL? No problem! I had my lead researcher work hard on finding the top dividend-paying stocks that let you profit from America's favorite sport:
1. 📺 Comcast (CMCSA) - 4.21% Yield The Super Bowl broadcaster! NBC airs the big game in 2026, 2029, and 2033. Sunday Night Football = #1 primetime show for 13 straight years. 17 years of dividend increases.
2. 🥤 PepsiCo (PEP) - 3.34% Yield Official Soft Drink of the NFL for 25 years! Gatorade owns every sideline. Doritos, Tostitos, Lay's dominate Super Bowl snacking. 53-year dividend streak = Dividend King status.
3. 📱 Verizon (VZ) - 6.11% Yield Highest yield on this list! Official 5G Network of the NFL. Powers 30 stadiums and coach communications. 19 consecutive years of dividend growth.
4. 👟 Nike (NKE) - 2.57% Yield Every NFL uniform through 2038! $200M annual exclusive apparel deal. 23-year dividend growth streak. If they're on the field, they're probably wearing Nike.
5. 🥤 Coca-Cola (KO) - 2.58% Yield Pouring rights at 24 of 30 NFL stadiums! 62 consecutive years of dividend increases. Ultimate safety + gameday profits.
6. 🏪 Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS) - 2.33% Yield Just bought Foot Locker for $2.4B! Now 3,200+ stores selling NFL jerseys and fan gear. 10 years of consecutive dividend growth and NFL season drives Q3/Q4 sales surge.
7. 🧀 Tyson Foods (TSN) - 3.13% Yield Americans eat 1.48 BILLION chicken wings during Super Bowl weekend! Tyson supplies the wings. Gameday = payday. 3.45% yield for income investors + 13 straight years of dividend raises.
8. 🎬 Disney (DIS) - 1.38% Yield ESPN's Monday Night Football! Just bought 10% of NFL Network for $3B. Dividend raise of 50% in November 2025, but still below pre-COVID levels. Growth + NFL exposure.
9. 💻 Microsoft (MSFT) - 0.91% Yield Surface tablets on every sideline! Azure AI powers scouting and game analysis. A fast growing dividend + 33% payout ratio = plenty of room for dividend growth.
10. 🍔 Sysco (SYY) - 2.50% Yield Supplies food to NFL stadiums and Super Bowl host cities! 56-year dividend streak = Dividend King. The ultimate defensive stock with NFL upside.
BONUS - Growth Plays (No Dividends):
🎰 Flutter (FLUT) - Owns FanDuel (43% market share) 🎲 DraftKings (DKNG) - Official NFL betting partner 📦 Amazon (AMZN) - Thursday Night Football through 2032

Here's your weekly helping of interesting investing information and insights. Opinion This newsletter is late because I had an emergency work call and not a fashion emergency at Nordstrom Rack this morning when this little robot cooler named "Scott" rolls up across the street. It was loaded with food from Wild Fork and off it went down the snowy sidewalk. Obviously I looked it up. Serve Robotics (ticker: SERV) - spun out of Uber in 2021.

Here's your weekly helping of interesting investing information and insights. Opinion I recently hopped on The Deep End podcast with Ryne Williams and Ari Gutman and talked about "Cathedral Investing." Standing outside St. Paul’s in London last Spring, I had a revelation: the people who dug the foundation in 1087 knew they’d be dead long before the roof was finished. They were "Ghost Architects" building a masterpiece they’d never actually sit inside of. In investing, we’re doing the same...
Here's your weekly helping of interesting investing information and insights. Opinion Quick update on why I brought IDVO and DGRO into the Roth this week and sold 25% of SCHY to make room. SCHY is still my core international holding—great fund, 0.08% expense ratio, 131 quality holdings.
