Looking for steady cash flow in 2025? JPMorgan analysts have spotlighted four income-generating stock picks that offer dividend appeal and potential price upside.
These are: Annaly Capital Management Inc NLY, Corning Inc GLW, Energy Transfer LP ET and HA Sustainable Infrastructure Capital Inc HASI.
Here are the details on their top picks.
Annaly Capital
With a hefty forward dividend yield of 13.85% (per Benzinga Pro data), Annaly Capital shines as a beacon for income seekers.
Analyst Richard Shane expects the mortgage REIT to benefit from a gradual yield curve steepening and rising MBS prices as quantitative tightening eases.
Trading near $19.76, NLY is viewed as a stable dividend play, supported by mid-teen ROEs and rising interest spreads, according to the analyst. His price target for 2025 is $20.

Corning
Known for its innovation in glass and fiber optics, Corning offers more than shiny screens.
Its modest 2.38% yield may seem subdued, but JPMorgan's Samik Chatterjee says this tech titan is poised for high-single-digit revenue growth.
Riding on data center demand, telecom recovery, and AI-driven innovation, Corning's stock—currently at $48.18—has room to climb to $60 by the end of 2025, the analyst says.
Energy Transfer
Pipeline powerhouse Energy Transfer is turning heads with a forward dividend yield of 7.06%.
Analyst Jeremy Tonet sees untapped value in its discounted EV/EBITDA ratio compared to peers.
With fundamentals like Permian egress and natgas logistics firing on all cylinders, ET, trading at $18.70, appears poised to reach Tonet's $23 target, presenting a compelling opportunity for midstream investors.
HASI
Sustainability meets income in Hannon Armstrong Sustainable Infrastructure Capital. HASI's 6.29% yield sweetens the deal for this eco-friendly investment.
JPMorgan's Mark Strouse predicts a brighter outlook thanks to its KKR partnership and investment-grade rating. With shares at $28.72, Strouse forecasts a $42 price by 2025 as HASI reduces its reliance on public capital raises and executes on stable spreads.
Whether you're chasing high yields or balanced growth, these four income plays could be the backbone of your 2025 portfolio.
From Annaly's robust dividends to Corning's AI-driven potential, JPMorgan's picks are all about turning steady streams into rivers of returns.
