In January 2024, the top-performing dividend-payers included Tricon Residential TCN, Leon’s Furniture LNF, and Fairfax Financial Holdings FFH.
To find the month’s top 10 income-focused stocks, we screened the Morningstar Canada Index—which measures the performance of Canada’s broad regional markets, targeting the top 97% of stocks by market capitalization—for companies with a forward dividend yield of at least 1%, excluding real estate investment trusts.
