Summary · why it matters

Goldman Sachs has flagged the gold trade as overcrowded, prompting income-focused retirees to consider dividend-growing equities with durable cash flow and inflation linkage. Wheaton Precious Metals ranks first among three alternatives, having posted record first-quarter revenue of $901.47 million, up 91.6% year over year, and an 18% dividend hike to $0.195 per share. Its streaming model locks in metals at fixed low prices, delivering 75% operating margins without absorbing miner cost inflation. NextEra Energy placed second, with first-quarter adjusted earnings per share of $1.09, up 10%, and a target of roughly 10% annual dividend growth through 2026. Procter & Gamble ranked third, offering a 2.8% dividend yield backed by 70 consecutive annual increases, though it faces tariff and commodity headwinds.
