Buy Hold Sell: 3 stocks with dividends on the rise (and 2 on the chopping block)

When it comes to income, you need a recipe for success. Sure, term deposits are cooking up around 5% yields right now, but for income-hungry investors, 5% may just not cut it. 

That's where equity income comes in. The yield on the market itself has been around 4-5% over the last 20 years - and a diversified portfolio of stocks with rising and sustainable dividends and earnings growth can deliver far more income than that. 

Then there are franking credits, which add a little extra flavour to investors' portfolios - and typically, an additional 2% in yield. 

So, in this episode, we're serving up some of the market's dividend darlings and throwing the scraps (stocks with falling dividends) into the trash. 

Livewire's Ally Selby was joined by IML's Michael O'Neill and Plato Investment Management's Dr Don Hamson for their analysis of three stocks with impressive 1-year forward yields.  

Plus, they also name one stock they believe could see its dividends on the chopping block in 2024.
