Dear reader, James Altucher here… For the last twenty years, I have been making predictions that so-called "experts" insisted would never happen. In 2007 I went on live TV and said Facebook would be worth over a hundred billion dollars. The anchors laughed at me on air. A few years later I called Apple's run to a trillion, and got the same reaction. Now I am making one of my biggest predictions yet. And it starts with recent drone footage of one of Elon Musk's rapidly expanding production facilities. What he is building inside is not an electric car, a solar panel, or a rocket ship. It is something Elon calls an "infinite money glitch." And Elon is predicting it will be the biggest product in history. Not just the biggest Tesla or SpaceX product. The biggest, period. It could enter production as soon as January 27. And based on data from the Dallas Fed, this could become a nearly $2 quadrillion opportunity by 2040. It sounds insane, and you have to see it to believe it. So, I put the whole story, and the footage, into a short presentation. Watch it before January 27. Because once that factory turns on, the secret is out. 
Regards, James Altucher

3 Stocks Delivering Bigger Dividends Despite Market UncertaintyBy Leo Miller. First Published: 10/17/2026. 
Key Points
- T-Mobile raised its dividend nearly 15% to $1.17 per share after SpaceX's spectrum purchase triggered a record one-day stock decline of more than 13%.
- GE HealthCare Technologies boosted its quarterly dividend by 14.3% to 4 cents per share following a strong earnings report with record backlog and book-to-bill ratio.
- Shipping company Danaos increased its dividend by 11% to $1 per share, supported by a low payout ratio and surging charter rates in 2026.
- Special Report: $0. Later: $29.97.
A double-digit dividend increase can be attractive on its own, but it's even more compelling when a company has room to keep raising its payout. For income investors, a low payout ratio can signal that further dividend growth is possible without placing excessive pressure on earnings. Three companies recently announced sizable increases: T-Mobile US (NASDAQ: TMUS), GE HealthCare Technologies (NASDAQ: GEHC), and Danaos (NYSE: DAC). Their dividend hikes range from 11% to nearly 15%, and all three maintain relatively low payout ratios. However, their yields and investment risks differ considerably. T-Mobile's Nearly 15% Dividend Hike Comes Amid SpaceX Concerns
The more than $160 billion telecom giant T-Mobile has had a difficult 2026, with the stock down more than 20% on the year. This puts TMUS on track for its worst calendar-year performance since 2014. T-Mobile shares recently took a major hit after an announcement from SpaceX (NASDAQ: SPCX). SpaceX said it had agreed to acquire low-band spectrum rights, an important step toward offering wireless service that can adequately penetrate buildings. Markets viewed this as a significant competitive threat to entrenched wireless carriers, causing T-Mobile's stock to fall more than 13% in one day. Notably, this marked T-Mobile’s largest single-day decline since the company went public in 2013. Despite this negative news, T-Mobile recently announced a nearly 15% dividend increase. The company’s quarterly dividend will rise to $1.17 per share, payable on Dec. 10 to shareholders of record as of Nov. 25. Following this increase and the stock’s significant decline in 2026, T-Mobile’s forward dividend yield has risen sharply to approximately 3%. Additionally, the company’s payout ratio remains low, at near 43% based on trailing 12-month (TTM) earnings and near 37% based on current-year estimates. This gives T-Mobile a solid path toward further dividend increases. GE HealthCare Raises Its Dividend 14%, With Room for MoreGE HealthCare was one of several companies spun off from the legacy conglomerate General Electric. However, the $30 billion firm has not been a strong performer, delivering a total return of only around 18% since the end of 2022. In 2026, GEHC is solidly in the red; however, the stock experienced a significant rebound following its latest earnings report. Shares soared more than 12% afterward as the company reported a record book-to-bill ratio of 1.15x, indicating that orders significantly exceeded revenue. Furthermore, the company’s backlog rose to a record $23.9 billion. GE HealthCare Technologies also announced a sizable 14.3% dividend increase, raising the stock’s quarterly payout to 4 cents per share. The firm plans to make its next payment on Nov. 13 to shareholders of record as of the Oct. 23 close. Despite this large increase, the stock’s forward dividend yield remains low, near 0.2%. However, GEHC’s payout ratio is also very low, at near 3.2% based on TTM earnings and 2.8% based on current-year estimates. Given this, the company has significant room to continue growing its dividend at a strong pace. Still, the firm notes that internal investment and mergers and acquisitions are among its best capital-allocation opportunities. In line with this strategy, the firm has agreed to acquire SOFIE Biosciences, which Needham notes should allow it to vertically integrate its radiopharmaceuticals portfolio. Danaos Boosts Its Dividend and Adds a $5 Special PayoutLast up is Danaos. With a market capitalization near $3 billion, the firm sits at the lower end of the mid-cap category. Danaos operates containerships and dry bulk vessels across Australia, Europe, and the United States, and has delivered a very strong performance in 2026. The stock is up almost 70% on the year, while dividend payments have boosted its total return to around 85%. This strong performance is largely due to what management calls “exceptionally tight conditions” in shipping markets, with the conflict in Iran contributing to these conditions. Danaos notes that rates across most shipping sectors are at multiyear highs. Danaos’ Capesize Time Charter Equivalent was $30,400 per day last quarter, up 69% year over year, and its contracted revenue backlog reached a record $4.6 billion during the quarter. Danaos also recently boosted its dividend by 11% to $1 per share, giving the stock a solid forward yield near 2.4%. Although the record date for this dividend has passed, its payout appears sustainable going forward, given Danaos’ low TTM payout ratio of near 12%. Additionally, the $1 dividend is equal to approximately 13.7% of the firm’s earnings per share of $7.29 last quarter. Can These Dividend Stocks Keep Raising Their Payouts?T-Mobile, GE HealthCare, and Danaos have all demonstrated a commitment to increasing shareholder returns. Their relatively low payout ratios leave room for further dividend growth, but future increases will depend on sustained earnings and cash flow. For income investors, that makes the companies' underlying financial performance just as important as their latest dividend hikes. . |
