Top 5 Dividend Stocks Paying Me In June

These Stocks All Have A History Of Raising Dividends Every Single Year.

There’s something powerful about getting paid just for owning shares.

Every one of the five stocks below is sending me a dividend in June. Not someday. Not theoretically. I’m talking about real cash hitting my account this month.

This isn’t about chasing the highest yield or finding the next meme stock. It’s about building income from companies that actually pay. Quarter after quarter. Without the drama.

Some pay monthly. Others quarterly. A few offer high yields. Others focus on long-term growth. But they all have one thing in common. They generate real income that I can use, reinvest, or just enjoy.

Here’s exactly who’s paying me in June, how much I’m getting, and why each one earns a place in my portfolio.

💰 Top 5 Monthly Dividend Stocks Paying Me in June

Every month, I break down the five income-paying stocks that are putting cash into my account and helping me inch closer to financial freedom.

These are real holdings in my portfolio. Most of them pay monthly, offer solid yields, and give me confidence in a shaky market.

Here’s who’s paying me this June (and when you can expect yours, too).

✅ 1. ARCC – Ares Capital

• Dividend Yield: ~9%

• Payout Date: June 28

Why I Hold It: ARCC is one of the largest and most stable BDCs out there. It lends to private companies, pays quarterly with a near-monthly cadence thanks to regular special distributions, and has a long track record of protecting capital and paying investors generously.

Ares Capital (ARCC) is one of the largest publicly traded BDCs, or Business Development Companies. Its job is to lend money to private businesses, usually mid-sized companies that don’t qualify for traditional bank loans.

Think of it as a high-powered private lender. ARCC earns income by charging interest on these loans, collecting fees, and sometimes taking equity stakes in the businesses it finances.

Because BDCs are required by law to pay out at least 90 percent of their earnings to shareholders, that income flows directly to you in the form of dividends. With a dividend yield so high, traditional investing advice would tell us that there must be something wrong with ARCC. However, we can see below that the quarterly payouts have remained very consistent over the last two decades!

A BDC is a publicly traded investment company that provides funding to small and mid-sized businesses. It’s similar to a REIT, but instead of owning real estate, it owns business loans and private credit. You can effectively put yourself on the other side of the cash register.

Here’s why income investors like BDCs:

• They offer high dividend yields (often 8 to 12 percent)

• They’re legally required to pay out most of their income to shareholders

• Many pay monthly or quarterly dividends

• They give you access to private markets, without needing to be an accredited investor

With ARCC, you’re essentially becoming a hands-off lender to hundreds of growing companies and getting paid while they grow.

🏢 2. O – Realty Income

• Dividend Yield: ~5.6%

• Payout Date: June 14

• Why I Hold It: Known as “The Monthly Dividend Company” for a reason. It owns essential real estate: think pharmacies, dollar stores, and gas stations. O also delivers stable, growing income.

Realty Income (ticker: O) is one of the most popular monthly dividend stocks in the world. It’s even trademarked the phrase “The Monthly Dividend Company.” And it lives up to the name.

Realty Income is a REIT, or Real Estate Investment Trust, that owns over 13,000 commercial properties. These aren’t risky developments or high-end luxury projects, they’re everyday, essential businesses.

We’re talking:

• Dollar General

• Walgreens

• 7-Eleven

• Gas stations, pharmacies, and grocery stores

Most of its tenants operate in recession-resistant industries and sign long-term net leases, meaning they’re responsible for property taxes, maintenance, and insurance. That gives Realty Income predictable revenue and low operating risk. Similarly, O’s dividend has increased on a consistent basis for more than 30 years! Talk about consistency.
