One of the advantages of zero commission trading is that it provides the opportunity for maximizing earnings. Earnings and income are also the priority behind investing in dividend stocks. The aerospace industry does have some stocks that offer dividend above the market average. According to experts, here are some aerospace dividend stocks to consider. GE While General Electric ($GE) may seem to be moving away from the areas it historically focused on, with its focus currently on supplying equipment to industries in the power and fuel extraction field, it is still a major supplier of airplane engines. Its Aviation division managed to generate sales worth $26.3 billion. That makes aerospace the company’s second greatest field of business after its Power division. The Aviation section has also reaped pretax profits worth $6.1 billion, making it the most profitable business for GE. GE’s aviation sales have grown by 39%, and profits by a whopping 74%, in the past five years. It’s the Aviation department that has contributed to General Electric’s strong earnings growth rate. With the aerospace industry set to keep booming, its 3.5% dividend yield, the highest in the sector, should remain stable. That makes it a really worthy option for investors looking for dividend stocks in the aerospace industry. Boeing Boeing ($BA) is a healthy dividend stock as well. It occupies half of the share of the global airplane manufacturing industry of which the other half is occupied by Airbus ($EADSY). However, Boeing sells 27% more than Airbus in terms of its airplanes as well as other services. Boeing’s overall sales amount to $95.6 billion annually. Airbus’ dividend yield is also miniscule, merely 1.8%. Boeing’s trailing net profits also amount to $5.1 billion, making it a lot more profitable than Airbus. Boeing has greater business scope, manufacturing not just civilian and commercial airliners, but also auxiliary aircraft, fighter jetsand other military aircraft, and other products.Its dividend yield is therefore likely to remain attractive, and its growth continuous. BAE BAE Systems ($BAESY) is a British aerospace dividend stock. It is one of the biggest military contractors in the UK. In addition to supplying the Royal Air Force with Typhoon fighter jets, it also supplies armored personnel carriers, warships, military electronics, etc. BAE offers a 3.2% dividend. But since its payout ratio is just 73%, there is a greater

opportunity for its dividend checks to grow. Its valuation on a P/E ratio basis is lower than that of GE’s. Investors wanting some international stocks could find this to be worth checking out. Lockheed Martin Lockheed Martin ($LMT) is a defense-focused aerospace company whose business amounts to $48 billion each year. Everyone reveres the stealth fighter jet F-35 Lightning II which is set to be the world’s most universal fifth-generation fighter, while the F-16 is the world’s most popular fourth-generation one. Both are products of the illustrious Lockheed Martin. The US Air Force expects to fly F-35s even 50 years from now. This could account for nearly 50% of the annual sales of the company. Now that should account for a steady flow of dividend. With dividend stocks such as these, investors benefit from a steady income quite like beginner stock traders benefit from zero commission trading.
