Shoe Carnival: Buy This Small Cap For Exceptional Dividend Growth

  • Shoe Carnival's 50% stock decline creates a compelling entry point for dividend investors, with a 3% yield and a 28% five-year dividend CAGR. The company's strong balance sheet, low payout ratio, and robust free cash flow ensure dividend safety and future growth potential. The strategic rebanner program, shifting stores to the higher-margin Shoe Station brand, offers upside despite short-term revenue softness.
