[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images There’s a lot to be said for companies that dish out more passive income to investors as each year passes, even if their dividend yields remain fairly average. Any business that can do this shows the sort of reliability that many higher-yielding stocks lack, making the former an arguably less risky proposition. With this in mind, I’ve picked out three examples from the FTSE 250 for Fools to ponder buying. Uninterrupted growth As a business, meat supplier Cranswick (LSE: CWK) isn’t remotely sexy. But it’s been a wonderful source of rising and uninterrupted dividends over…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images I’ve fallen for the charms of Legal & General (LSE: LGEN) shares. I bought them in 2023 because they looked like a brilliant income play, with some growth prospects a little bit further down the line. Now I’m having doubts. With a stunning dividend yield of 8.3%, it’s easy to see the appeal for income seekers. However, with the share price down 1.4% over the last year and a hefty 17% over five years, a significant chunk of those dividends have been wiped out by capital losses. Is this a case of one step forward,…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images The investment case for National Grid (LSE: NG) often revolves around its dividend. As a utility, it has strong cash flow potential – and the company’s policy aims to increase the dividend annually in line with a leading measure of inflation. But that dividend focus does not mean the National Grid share price does not matter. After all, if an investor buys a share and its price falls, he could end up making an overall loss when he comes to sell, even taking into account dividends received along the way. Then again, the opposite could…

[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images The Aston Martin Lagonda (LSE:AML) share price was doing what it does best today (27 February) — falling. The FTSE 250 stock is now down 42% in six months, 51% in one year, and 93% since the start of 2020. It’s an ongoing nightmare for shareholders in the luxury carmaker. Yet the Aston brand remains iconic and the cars still possess the ability to lure eyes from smartphones in the street. We’ve seen how UK brand stocks can bounce back strongly once they hit rock bottom. Shares of Burberry, for example, are up 93% in less…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images When deciding which UK stock to buy, I like to come to my own conclusions. I certainly wouldn’t leave it to a robot. On the other hand, it’s always nice to have a second opinion, even of the artificial variety. So I asked ChatGPT to tell me which UK share it though was best to buy over the next month. I never expected the answer would be property portal Rightmove (LSE: RMV). The stock has completely dropped off my radar. Which is strange given that my partner spends half their days browsing it! I assumed…
[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images Lloyds Banking Group (LSE:LLOY) shares have risen a whopping 25% so far in 2025, taking total gains over the last 12 months to a shade below 50%. By comparison, the broader FTSE 100 has risen a more modest 5% and 12.8% over the same timeframe. Following its astronomical rise, I’m curious to see how Lloyds’ share price looks from a GARP — or ‘Growth at a Reasonable Price’ — perspective. As the name suggests, this strategy aims to find shares that look cheap based on predicted profits, as measured by the price-to-earnings growth (PEG) ratio.…
