Chemicals, miners, packaging and aggregates. Commodity-linked earnings make the dividend lumpy, and several names here pay a variable or supplemental dividend on top of the base — check the payout history before you budget it.
110 operating companies currently paying a dividend, median yield 1.33%. Funds and ETFs are excluded on purpose — this is companies only. Prices as of Sep 3, 2026.
No company in this sector pays monthly — the quarterly cheque is the norm here. For monthly income, look at REITs, BDCs and specialty finance.

Operating companies only — ETFs, closed-end funds, ADRs and preferred shares or baby bonds are excluded. Payout ratio and raise-streak data isn't published for every company; blanks mean we don't have it rather than zero. * marks a 3-year growth rate where 5 years isn't available; † marks a 12-month growth rate shown because the longer rate is distorted by a stock split.
We currently track 110 basic materials operating companies paying a dividend, with a median yield of 1.33%. ETFs, closed-end funds and ADRs are excluded from this count — those are funds, not companies.
UAN shows the highest trailing yield in the sector at 18.67%. Treat the very top of any yield list with suspicion: an unusually high figure is often a special or one-off payment sitting in the trailing rate, or a share price that has collapsed.
Yield alone tells you nothing about safety. In this sector 76 of 110 companies pay out 60% or less of earnings, which is the group with genuine room to keep raising. 9 have cut their dividend recently, and 8 have raised.
No. Every dividend payer in this sector pays quarterly, semi-annually or annually. Monthly dividends are concentrated in REITs, BDCs and specialty finance.
Nightly. Prices, yields, payout ratios and performance come from our own data pipeline, and this page reflects prices as of Sep 3, 2026. New dividend initiations and cuts are picked up automatically.
