A message from Banyan Hill Publishing

Dear Reader,

The Treasury Department just issued a stunning warning:

U.S. banks could lose up to $6.6 trillion of customer deposits as Americans rush into a new form of money…

That’s just been authorized under President Trump’s highly controversial new law, S.1582.

If you have any cash in a checking or savings account… this will affect you directly.

But be warned: S.1582 has been brought in so fast, the window to act is closing fast.

Go here for details, while you still have time to get ahead of it. 

Regards,

3 Strong Dividend Growers for Income Without Rate Risk

Authored by Chris Markoch. Published: 1/9/2026. 

Key Points

• In 2026, income-focused investors should look for dividend growth supported by durable cash flow, pricing power, and recurring revenue models.
• Roper, Ecolab, and Air Products and Chemicals are examples of companies that deliver income potential without heavy exposure to interest-rate sensitivity or regulatory risk.
• Income-oriented investors benefit from long-term compounding from companies with decades of consistent dividend increases.

For many income-oriented investors, buying dividend stocks means looking to utilitiesand real estate investment trusts (REITs). These companies typically offer consistent payouts and some of the highest yields.

Those sectors carry specific risks, including sensitivity to interest rates, limited earnings growth, and significant regulatory exposure. With those factors likely to be headwinds rather than tailwinds in 2026, the only certainty for many investors is uncertainty.

“Ominous day” coming to stocks… (Ad)

JC Parets has spent more than 20 years tracking the market’s most important technical signals, and he’s now warning that a key date on the calendar could mark the next major turning point for stocks. After calling the 2008 crash, the 2020 collapse, and the exact bottom in 2022, he’s sounding the alarm again — and he’s sharing the specific day he believes investors need to prepare for.See JC’s latest market forecast here

For investors who want dependable income without those constraints, an alternative is to focus on dividend growers rather than the highest-yielding stocks. Dividend growers prioritize consistent payout increases backed by durable cash flow, pricing power, and resilience to long-term business volatility.

While their starting yields may be lower, the compounding effect of rising dividends can produce superior income over time. This approach is especially attractive when interest rates are unpredictable and economic growth is uneven across sectors.

Roper Technologies: An Asset-Light Dividend Compounder

Roper Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ: ROP) is a diversified technology and industrial company. Its price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio is around 30x — a premium to the market average but a discount to its historical norm.

The company’s real appeal for income investors is its asset-light business model. Roper owns a portfolio of niche software, engineered products, and data analytics businesses that generate recurring revenue and operate with high margins. That structure produces consistent free cash flow, which management has historically used for disciplined acquisitions and steady dividend increases.

Roper effectively offers growth more typical of technology stocks with the reliability of industrials. The stock carries a modest 0.83% dividend yield, but its payout has grown at a double-digit pace over long periods, reflecting earnings growth (expected to be in the mid-single digits in 2026) and strong capital discipline. Roper is also a dividend aristocrat, having increased its payout for 33 consecutive years.

Ecolab: Pricing Power in Essential Services

Ecolab Inc. (NYSE: ECL) provides water, hygiene and infection-prevention solutions and services globally — a category that is often overlooked but difficult to replace.

Water sanitation is essential to industries such as foodservice, hospitality, healthcare, and manufacturing, giving Ecolab significant pricing power and growing recurring revenue. That pricing power has become more valuable as companies face higher input costs and tighter regulations; Ecolab can pass through cost increases while maintaining margins, supporting steady earnings growth even in uncertain environments.

That consistency has enabled this dividend aristocrat to raise its dividend for 34 consecutive years. Like Roper, Ecolab’s yield is modest — a 1.09% dividend yield — but it pays $2.92 per share annually and has been growing its dividend at roughly 5% annually over the past three years.

Air Products and Chemicals: Contracted Cash Flow With Growth Optionality

Air Products and Chemicals Inc. (NYSE: APD) is a global leader in industrial gases, supplying oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, and specialty gases to energy, chemicals, electronics, and healthcare customers.

What makes Air Products particularly attractive for income investors is its contract structure. Many projects operate under long-term, take-or-pay agreements, providing highly visible and stable cash flow. At the same time, the company has positioned itself as a key player in hydrogen and clean-energy infrastructure, offering potential long-term upside alongside its core business.

This predictability resembles that of regulated utilities but without the same regulatory constraints or direct dependence on interest rates. As a result, Air Products can support a competitive dividend while continuing to invest in new growth areas.

Air Products is also a dividend aristocrat, having raised its payout for 43 consecutive years. The stock offers a respectable 2.73% dividend yield; as of January 2026 it pays $7.16 per share annually and has grown dividends by about 6.9% annually over the last three years.
