High-Yield Monthly Dividend Stock #20: Bridgemarq Real Estate Services (BREUF)

Bridgemarq Real Estate Services is a leading Canadian real estate services company that provides branding, technology, and support to real estate brokers and over 21,000 realtors across Canada.

Its portfolio includes nationally recognized brands such as Royal LePage, Via Capitale, Proprio Direct, and Johnston & Daniel.

The company earns revenue primarily from fixed and variable franchise fees, generating cash flow stability that is less sensitive to fluctuations in the housing market.

On May 13th, 2026, Bridgemarq Real Estate Services posted its Q1 results for the period ending March 31st, 2026. Total revenue for the quarter came in at $51.0 million, down from $56.9 million in Q1 2025, reflecting an 8% year-over-year contraction in Canadian residential transactional dollar volume and a lower REALTOR count.

Bridgemarq recorded a quarterly net loss of $0.24 per share, a significant reversal from earnings of $0.47 a year earlier, primarily driven by a $1.9 million non-cash loss on the valuation of exchangeable units compared with a $4.1 million gain last year.

Adjusted EPS for the quarter was $0.09, down from $0.15 last year, as lower revenues outweighed the benefit of lower commission expense.

The decline primarily reflected lower net investment income in a moderating interest rate environment, with the portfolio WAIR declining to 7.7%, partly offset by lower funding costs, incremental credit spreads, and higher fee income from increased transaction activity.

Net investment income was $18.4 million, compared to $21.0 million in the prior year period.

On May 7th, 2026, MSC Income Fund reported Q1 2026 results. Total investment income was $34.1 million, up 3% year-over-year, driven by higher interest income from a larger income-producing debt portfolio and higher fee income, partly offset by lower dividend income from LMM portfolio companies.

PennantPark Floating Rate Capital Ltd. is a business development company that seeks to make secondary direct, debt, equity, and loan investments.

On May 7, 2026, PFLT shared its earnings report for the fiscal second quarter ended March 31, 2026. The company’s net investment income (NII) per share was $0.26 in the quarter, which was down 7.1% over the year-ago period. That was $0.02 below the analyst consensus during the quarter.

The primary contributing factor behind this drop in NII per share had to do with compression in the net interest margins on the company’s floating-rate assets. As market conditions shifted, the spread between the interest income earned on their loan portfolio and their cost of capital narrowed.

Earlier this month, PFLT announced an 18.7% cut in the monthly distribution per share to $0.0833 (consisting of an $0.08 per share base dividend and $0.0033 per share supplemental dividend).

Secondly, the constant prepayment rate rose from just above 6% in Q1 2025 to above 11% in Q1 2026.

Its portfolio is entirely composed of Agency RMBS backed by single-family residential mortgage loans.

On April 23, 2026, ORC shared its financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026. The company reported a net loss per share of $0.11 during the quarter ($0.44 below the analyst consensus).

That was largely driven by fair value accounting adjustments on its investment portfolio that offset its core interest income in the quarter. ORC recorded $69.6 million in net realized and unrealized losses on its agency RMBS and derivative instruments for the quarter.

This included roughly $116 million in unrealized losses on mortgage-backed securities, which was only partially offset by $46.3 million in gains on derivative and hedging instruments during the quarter.

Even with net interest income of $57.1 million (from an improved spread between the average RMBS yield and the average cost of funds), this is what caused the net loss per share in the quarter.

In April, ORC cut its monthly dividend per share by 16.7% to $0.10.

Final Thoughts

Monthly dividend stocks could be more appealing to income investors than quarterly or semi-annual dividend stocks. This is because monthly dividend stocks make 12 dividend payments per year, instead of the usual 4 or 2.

Furthermore, monthly dividend stocks with high yields above 5% are even more attractive for income investors.

The 20 stocks on this list have not been vetted for dividend safety, meaning each investor should understand the unique risk factors of each company.

That said, these 20 dividend stocks make monthly payments to shareholders, and all have high dividend yields.
