Why Preferred Stocks? Corporations issue preferred stocks to raise cash. Although you buy or sell them the same way you trade regular stocks, preferreds are more like bonds than common stocks. Investors buy them for the steady dividends, which typically equate to 4% to 8% yields. About Preferred Stocks When a company issues a preferred stock, it sets the annual dividend and sells the shares at a preset price, typically $25, but some are issued at $10, $50 or $100.  In normal markets, $25 preferreds usually trade up to $26 to $28 per share range. The initial yield, called the “coupon rate,” is the annual dividend divided by the issue price. For instance, the yield on shares paying $1/year on shares issued at $25 is 4%. Most preferred stocks are “callable,” meaning that the issuer has the right to call (redeem) them at the “call price” after a specified date (call date), typically five-years after issue. The call price is usually the original issue price, but in some instances is slightly higher. Companies that issue preferred stocks typically sell more than one series, for instance, Series A, Series B, etc. Ticker symbols are not standardized and vary from site to site. However they typically start with the issuer's common stock symbol and end with the series designator. For instance, the ticker for Bank of America (BAC) Series N preferreds might be BAC-N, BAC-PN, BACPRN, etc. Current Market Conditions In normal markets, you buy preferred stocks because they offer a low-risk way to earn relatively high dividends. But the current market is anything but normal. Consequently, picking the right preferreds could open up the opportunity to score 10% to 20% capital gains in addition to the dividends.  But, doing that requires picking preferreds whose issuers won’t run out of the cash needed to pay the specified dividends.  Not to worry, Dividend Detective will do the analysis for you.
