您是否使用普通的网站进行股息研究？小心。
这些主流网站经常忽略“特殊”股息公司的最重要的年度支付！
这种疏忽可能会让我们忽略数千美元的潜在年度收入。以及高达 14.6% 的收益率！
您相信这些蹩脚的网站上将这个 14.6% 的支付者列为多少？0.2%。零点二百分比。
是的。这就是为什么我们这些反常者会专注于特殊股息进行研究。
特殊股息不常见，许多投资者对它们知之甚少（如果知道任何信息）。简而言之，它们是一次性现金支付，通常是巨额资本注入的结果——例如，出售公司的一部分或交付创纪录的年度利润。
至少，通常是这样。
一些股票支付所谓的“补充”股息，它们与定期分配相配对。假设一家公司按季度支付每股 50 美分，但在年末支付其自由现金流的一半作为补充股息。这可能是一年多 1 美元，一年多 3 美元。
在某些情况下，这是一种体面的“补足”，可以使一个不错的股息变得更好。但有时，这些特殊股息会将一个不错的到令人眼花缭乱的支付率提高到个位数或双位数。
只需查看这七个“特殊”支付者。虽然金融股息网站会告诉我们它们的平均集体收益率为 6%，但实际上，这个迷你投资组合的真实平均收益率为令人垂涎的 10%。
零售商
让我们从一对不太可能的公司开始——大多数收入投资者根本不会用十英尺长的杆子去触碰这两个购物中心的名字。
我不想和Dillard's (DDS, 0.2% 标题收益率) 和 The Buckle (BKE, 2.9% 标题收益率) 在战壕里分享。它们都是购物中心业务——前者是少数几个剩余的百货公司连锁店之一，后者是时尚零售商，这是一种尽可能多变的企业。经济的震动会使它们感到不适，而消费者压力今年迄今为止已经使它们陷入了亏损。
但值得称赞的是，近年来它们一直是购物中心领域中表现较好的公司之一，并且它们将适度定期股息补充到大额特殊股息的做法，对于它们的周期性业务来说是一种很好的模式。
它们也是展示有多少收益率被我们“隐藏”的绝佳例子。只需查看顶级数据提供商为每家公司列出的内容以及它们的实际收益率。
Dillard's
这个微小的收益只考虑了 Dillard's 每季度支付的 30 美分股息。但 DDS 多年来一直在支付巨额特殊股息——2021 年和 2022 年每股 15 美元，2023 年 20 美元，2024 年 25 美元，2025 年 30 美元。包括那笔最后的特殊股息，Dillard's 的 真实 收益率为 5.9%。
The Buckle
The Buckle 的定期支付至少可以达到 3% 左右。但这与实际数字相去甚远，因为与 Dillard's 一样，BKE 也在过去几年初向股东发放了大额特殊股息。在 2026 年的每股 3 美元的特殊股息之上，再加上其每季度 35 美分的股息，Buckle 的 真实 收益率为 9.1%。
请注意：管理层并没有承诺我们这些丰厚的特殊股息。但他们已经明确表示，当经济形势好转时，他们愿意分享财富。对于那些已经在零售领域进行尝试的人来说，这是一种不错的潜在奖金。
保险公司
保险公司基本上从事定价混乱的业务，因此如此多的年度股息相同，这几乎很奇怪。鉴于它们的周期性收益，定期和特殊制度似乎更合理。
Amerisafe (AMSF, 5.2% 标题收益率)——一家专注于“高风险”行业（如建筑、卡车运输和农业）的中小型雇主的工伤赔偿保险公司——在这个领域是一种异类，因为它的底线比平均保险公司更稳定。
但这并不意味着它的盈利状况必然是好的。
我曾在 2025 年提到，任何对 AMSF 的大额特殊股息感兴趣的人应该密切关注 Amerisafe 的底线。虽然 Amerisafe 能够持续增长其收入，但该公司的利润在过去两年中有所下降。华尔街分析师对该股票的覆盖认为，这种情况将在 2026 年再次发生，并且 2027 年的盈利将仅保持稳定。最大的罪魁祸首之一是就业增长放缓，在过去一年左右变得非常疲软。
这确实限制了 Amerisafe 的特殊分配。AMSF 自 2013 年以来一直在支付定期股息检查，自 2014 年以来一直在支付特殊股息——并且 2025 年的额外支付，尽管仍然足以将真实收益率提高到 8.4%，但十年来的最低水平。
唯一的好消息？适度的定期股息仍在增长
Old Republic International (ORI, 3.1% 标题收益率) 是一家在美洲和加拿大运营的专业和产权保险公司。该公司的业务部门为房地产纠纷提供损失保护，并提供按揭关闭和建筑资金发放服务。专业保险部门范围更广，包括商业汽车、商业财产、旅行意外、航空、环境、网络安全以及为各种行业提供的众多其他保险，包括运输、医疗保健、教育、零售、能源等。它还在 Amerisafe 的工伤赔偿沙盒中发挥作用。
ORI 的收入通常在过去几十年中呈上升趋势，但其底线是我们所期望的保险公司的混乱局面——即使是 Old Republic 这样多元化的公司。
因此，我们必须向管理层致敬，尽管盈利基础不稳定，它使 ORI 成为市场上增长最快的股息公司之一。Old Republic 连续 45 年增加年度分配。管理层也迅速向股东发放额外的股息，这些特殊股息可能非常巨大。在 31 美分的定期股息之上，每股 2.50 美元的特殊股息相当于 真实收益率为 9.4%。
但由于 ORI 的业务比 Amerisafe 等公司更不可预测，因此特殊股息的分布也更不规律。
时机变化很大，ORI 在 2023 年跳过了特殊股息
商业发展公司 (BDC)
一般来说，“正常”股票支付定期股息往往提供不错的但不是伟大的定期股息，然后当他们能够时，会用丰厚的特殊股息来震惊我们。
商业发展公司 (BDC) 为小型公司提供融资，采取不同的方法。也就是说，它们支付定期股息，这些股息本身就超过了几乎所有其他行业的水平——并且当净投资收入充足时，它们会通过顶补特殊股息来进一步提高股息。
例如 Capital Southwest Corp. (CSWC, 10.0% 标题收益率)。
CSWC 为 EBITDA（息税折旧摊销前收益）在 300 万美元到 2500 万美元之间的中小型公司提供资金。其交易的大多数（90%）是第一级贷款，其余（9%）是股权，但也有少量的次级贷款和劣质债务。它拥有涵盖数十个行业的多元化投资组合；医疗保健服务、消费服务、媒体/营销和消费品是目前代表性最强的。
BDC 行业是一个输家远远多于赢家的困难行业。但正如我之前所说，CSWC 是一个佼佼者——它具有适度的杠杆和充分覆盖的股息。与此同时，向适度盈利时向股东分享财富的做法，也是其周期性业务的绝佳模式。
它也是展示有多少收益率被我们“隐藏”的绝佳例子。只需查看顶级数据提供商为每家公司列出的内容以及它们的实际收益率。
Capital Southwest
Capital Southwest 最近将其支付系统从季度转换为每月分配。
它确实使图表变得很奇怪。
但最近的股息节奏相当稳定
唯一明显的弱点是与 CSWC 相匹配的优质业绩相匹配的溢价估值。目前，Capital Southwest 的股票以惊人的 40% 的溢价交易于 BDC 的净资产价值 (NAV)。
Fair Warning：管理层并没有承诺我们这些丰厚的特殊股息。但他们已经明确表示，当经济形势好转时，他们愿意分享财富。对于那些已经在零售领域进行尝试的人来说，这是一种不错的潜在奖金。
我最喜欢的 11% 股息是 2026 年混乱的良药
我们被双位数股息所吸引，因为它们为我们提供了一种出路。
一种摆脱恐慌于每日大幅波动的方式。一种摆脱扫描标题以了解最新的关税和政策变化的方式。一种摆脱不断想知道人工智能是否会摧毁我们的投资组合的方式。
因此，如果我们要在双位数收益率方面进行尝试，我们希望能够依靠股息——其中特殊股息仅仅是锦上添花。
这正是我们正在从我最喜欢的万户股息中得到的东西：一个多元化的、精心构建的债券投资组合，收益率为 11%，但也为股票式收益做好了准备。
该基金符合我能想到的所有收入框：
经理的资历？几乎是你能想到的最好的。Morningstar 之前将他评为固定收益基金经理年度人物。而且他实际上是一位名人堂成员，被固定收益分析师协会名人堂授予荣誉。
但对这个万户股息的窗口正在迅速关闭！随着波动性上升以及投资者从成长股转向像这种可靠的收入来源，这些基金的溢价往往会上升。我不想让你错过这个机会。点击此处，我将向您介绍这个令人难以置信的 11% 支付者，并为您提供免费的特别报告，其中揭示了它的名称和股票代码。

四大领先AI模型讨论这篇文章
"Special dividends are unreliable supplements that mask underlying business volatility and valuation risks the article largely ignores."
The article correctly flags that headline yields on DDS, BKE, AMSF, ORI, CSWC, FDUS and BCSF understate recent payouts once large specials are included, lifting the seven-stock basket from 6% to 10%. Yet it downplays that these extras are discretionary, tied to one-time capital events or volatile earnings. Retailers face consumer pressure, insurers report declining profits, and BDCs show rising non-accruals plus NAV premiums or discounts that can erase yield advantages. The closing teaser for an unnamed 11% monthly payer with a star manager is classic marketing that omits fees, leverage and distribution coverage risks.
Specials have been paid consistently enough by these names in recent years that a patient holder could still capture elevated income even if future extras shrink, especially in the cheaper BDCs trading below NAV.
"Treating optional special dividends as recurring income is a classic yield-chasing trap that collapses when earnings compress or balance sheets tighten."
This article conflates two separate problems: (1) legitimate yield underreporting by data providers on special-dividend payers, and (2) a sales pitch disguised as analysis. The stocks cited—DDS, BKE, AMSF, ORI, CSWC, FDUS, BCSF—do pay specials that inflate true yield above headline rates. That's factual. But the article cherry-picks backward-looking specials, treats them as recurring, and obscures deteriorating fundamentals (AMSF's profit decline, BCSF's coverage compression, retail cyclicality). The unnamed 11% bond fund at the end is a classic bait-and-click tactic. Specials are *optional*, not contractual—they evaporate in downturns.
If you own these stocks for 10+ years and reinvest specials, the total return math might still work despite cyclical headwinds; the article's core insight about hidden yield is valid even if the sales execution is manipulative.
"Treating historical special dividends as a reliable forward yield is a fundamental accounting error that ignores the cyclical earnings volatility inherent in these sectors."
The article conflates 'trailing' yield with 'forward' income, a dangerous trap for income investors. While highlighting special dividends is a valid strategy for identifying cash-rich firms, it ignores the cyclical nature of these payouts. For BDCs like BCSF or retailers like DDS, special dividends are often a release valve for excess capital during peak cycle earnings, not a recurring annuity. When earnings contract—as projected for AMSF and BCSF—these 'true' yields evaporate. Investors chasing these payouts are effectively selling volatility protection for a yield that is inherently unstable, often ignoring that a 40% premium to NAV (as seen in CSWC) significantly erodes the total return potential of the dividend itself.
The strategy correctly identifies that market pricing often fails to account for consistent, albeit variable, capital returns, potentially allowing contrarians to capture high cash flow at a discount.
"Most advertised 'true yields' rely on unpredictable one-time specials rather than durable cash flow, making the high-yield math fragile across a full cycle."
The piece sells a high-yield fantasy built on 'special' dividends. The core risk is that most of the 10%–14% yields come from one-time payouts rather than durable cash flow. In cyclical retailers (Dillard's, The Buckle) and credit-sensitive insurers or BDCs, specials are episodic and can vanish or reverse quickly in a downturn, stripping away income and pressuring stock prices. The article glosses over distribution coverage, earnings volatility, and the possibility of cuts; it also cherry-picks a few winners while ignoring many non-holders where specials are absent. Investors should stress-test yield stability across a full business cycle, not a single-year snapshot.
Strongest counter: these 'true yields' hinge on episodic payouts that can disappear in a downturn, leaving investors with lower regular income and potential price losses. The article's universe looks baked for favorable years; in a real macro shock, the math won't hold.
"Leverage plus persistent fees create an unmentioned amplification of losses for these BDCs in downturns."
Gemini understates how leverage in BDCs like CSWC and BCSF can magnify both distributions and downside NAV erosion during credit stress. Pairing this with ChatGPT's recession scenario, forced deleveraging plus management fees could turn the touted 10% basket yield into negative total returns faster than cyclical dividend cuts alone would imply. The panel has yet to quantify the fee drag that persists regardless of special payout frequency.
"Leverage magnifies BDC downside, but equity cyclicals face an even sharper cliff because they lack the structural seniority that protects BDC debt holders."
Grok flags leverage amplification—valid. But the panel hasn't separated BDC structural risk from equity cyclicals. CSWC trades at 40% premium to NAV; forced deleveraging hits equity holders last, after preferred and debt. DDS/BKE have no leverage cushion—their specials vanish on revenue contraction alone. Fee drag is real but secondary; the primary risk is that 'true yield' assumes earnings stability that doesn't exist in a 2-3% recession. Nobody's modeled what happens if retail comps turn negative *and* credit spreads widen simultaneously.
"Special dividends in retail are a tax-inefficient capital return mechanism that masks deteriorating fundamentals and sets up a violent valuation correction when payouts are inevitably suspended."
Claude, you’re missing the tax-efficiency variable. For retail names like DDS and BKE, special dividends are often a tax-inefficient way to return capital compared to buybacks. If the market prices these as 'yield,' it creates a valuation floor that is fundamentally fragile. When growth slows, these companies stop the specials first. Investors holding for income are left with a low-growth, cyclical retail equity that has lost its only catalyst, leading to a double-whammy of dividend cuts and multiple compression.
"The true risk is payout sustainability, not tax efficiency, because episodic specials can disappear, eroding income and total return."
Gemini’s tax-efficiency critique matters, but the bigger overlooked risk is the sustainability of the payouts themselves. Specials can be funded by debt or asset sales and collapse in a downturn, yet markets often misprice the resulting distribution coverage and price, especially when a few names dominate the basket. The punchline isn’t just tax drag but the likelihood that a 10% 'true yield' reverts to much lower cash flow once earnings cycle turns.
The panel agrees that the article misleads by highlighting 'true' yields based on special dividends, which are often one-time, cyclical, or discretionary. These yields can evaporate in downturns, exposing investors to significant risks.
