Highlights

  • The Bank of Canada and Federal Reserve might further increase the interest rates.
  • A few Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) equities pay dividends every month.
  • Dividend stocks could help investors generate a passive income to beat inflation.

The Canadian equities markets have plenty of companies known for paying frequent dividends. A few Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) equities pay dividends every month.

Given the current market situation, investors might receive a high dividend yield, which means a cash return as per the stock cost basis. As the inflation rate continues to rise in Canada and the United States, it is expected that the Bank of Canada and Federal Reserve might further increase the interest rates to control rising consumer prices.

Due to unfavourable economic conditions worldwide, an average consumer is already bearing the brunt of increased prices of goods and services. Hence, stock market investors could explore some dividend stocks for generating passive income.

Let's look at five monthly-dividend stocks you might consider exploring:

TransAlta Renewables Inc. (TSX:RNW)

The RNW stock holds a dividend yield of 5.5 per cent, declaring a monthly dividend of C$ 0.078 per unit. On July 19, the stock of TransAlta Renewables closed at C$ 17.17 per share after climbing 0.4 per cent.
