Three dividend payers deserve a spot on your watchlist this week. One reports earnings next Tuesday with the housing market still stuck, one just raised its dividend 5.2%, and one is an asset manager paying you about 4.7% while it works to stop client outflows.

Something new is plugging into the power grid and draining it — something that can devour the electricity of 100,000 homes at once, likely being built in your state right now.

See what it is

In some states, bills are already up 20% in a year, and James Altucher believes that's just the start.

Why he thinks bills keep climbing

So he's identified the one company he believes is positioned to benefit from that plan. Any single position can lose money.

TSMC (NYSE: TSM) approved investments totaling up to $1 billion in OpenAI and Anthropic, adding financial stakes in businesses driving demand for advanced chips. 

The Anthropic investment would buy shares at its initial public offering price, while the OpenAI investment would purchase preferred shares.

The transactions would give the manufacturer a financial interest in the developers’ future growth alongside its existing role in supplying the industry.

Chip Sales and Share Ownership

TSMC manufactures chips used in computers that train and run AI systems, connecting its factories to the industry’s expansion.

The distinction becomes important when you separate an AI company’s need for more computing power from its ability to turn that spending into profits, since manufacturing income and investment returns depend on different business results.

More Exposure to the Same Cycle

The board separately approved approximately $40.9 billion in capital appropriations for capacity, facilities, and other needs, keeping manufacturing central to its spending plans. 

The AI stakes deserve your attention because slower spending could weaken chip orders and investment values together, concentrating risk across businesses that appear separate but depend on the same growth cycle, particularly if developers struggle to secure fresh outside funding.

TSM currently trades at $397 and pays a dividend of $4.06 per share, a yield of 1.02%.

AstraZeneca (NYSE: AZN) acquired Omniose, a US biotechnology company developing vaccines against serious bacterial infections. The business has joined its infectious diseases division. Financial terms were not disclosed.

The agreement granted AstraZeneca access to Omniose’s technology for up to three years. Omniose previously secured $14.7 million in US grants supporting vaccine research.

Ownership Changes the Research Relationship

The deal addresses a business constraint that can escape your notice. Access to another company’s technology does not necessarily provide permanent control over its development.

AstraZeneca can now direct the platform's development within its own business, rather than through an outside partner.

Omniose’s platform engineers and assembles bacterial vaccine components in a single process. The method could support research across several infections, spreading opportunities beyond one experimental product.

Research Must Still Become a Commercial Product

An acquisition settles who owns a technology. It cannot tell you which experimental vaccines will succeed in testing or receive approval. Approved products must then generate enough sales to cover development costs.

AstraZeneca gains research capabilities and greater control over future work. Commercial success still depends on scientific results, regulatory decisions, and manufacturing requirements.

Demand for any products reaching the market will also shape the eventual financial return.

AZN currently trades at $185 and pays a dividend of $3.23 per share, a yield of 1.74%.

Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) has agreed with IMAX to make its upcoming VR Glasses the first virtual reality device certified under the IMAX Enhanced program. 

The app will provide a virtual theater for watching IMAX Enhanced content. Selected films will offer expanded picture formats, alongside sound and picture features designed for the device.

Entertainment Gives Hardware a Purpose

Think about the services competing for your free time. Meta is entering a market where televisions, phones, and streaming apps already have established audiences. A familiar entertainment brand gives its glasses another reason to be used.

For Meta, the opportunity extends beyond a technical feature.

Films could help make the device part of a regular entertainment routine, supporting the appeal of its hardware. For IMAX, the agreement extends its brand into VR.

Recognition Must Turn Into Demand

The announcement does not disclose financial terms or sales targets. IMAX certification therefore cannot establish how much revenue the partnership might generate.

Hardware sales tell you how many devices change hands. Regular viewing would offer a different signal: whether Meta can retain an audience. Both matter when judging whether a product launch can become a lasting business.

META currently trades at $640 and pays a dividend of $2.10 per share, a yield of 0.33%.

California Resources (CRC) raised its quarterly dividend 3.7% to $0.42 per share from $0.405, a yield of about 3.6%.

F&G Annuities & Life (FG) raised its quarterly dividend 4% to $0.26 per share from $0.25, a yield of about 4.1%.

Leidos Holdings (LDOS) raised its quarterly dividend 4.7% to $0.45 per share from $0.43, a yield of about 1.3%.

Blackstone Mortgage Trust (BXMT) cut its quarterly dividend 36% to $0.30 per share from $0.47 after a third-quarter loss, a yield of about 10.7% at the new rate.

CVR Partners (UAN) cut its quarterly distribution 71% to $1.79 per unit from $6.08 under its variable payout policy, a yield of about 6.4% if annualized.

First Majestic Silver (AG) lowered its revenue-linked quarterly dividend 6.6% to $0.0142 per share from $0.0152, a yield of about 0.4%.
