Manulife financial shares
If you want reliable income but also exposure to global growth, Manulife Financial could be worth a look. It operates in Canada, Asia and the United States and offers insurance, pension plans and asset management services. That mix matters because the North American operations deliver stable profits, while the Asian operations give the company access to faster-growing markets.
MFC stock recently traded at $51.85 per share, giving it a market cap of $86.9 billion and a dividend yield of 3.4%.
In the third quarter of 2025, Manulife reported a 10% year-over-year (YoY) increase in its core earnings to a record $2 billion. In the first nine months of the year, core profits were $5.5 billion, showing consistent progress.
Growth came from several areas: core profits in Asia rose 29%, the global wealth and asset management segment rose 9% and Canada rose 4%.
With a Life Insurance Capital Adequacy Test (LICAT) ratio of 138% and growing exposure to private credit and Asian insurance markets, Manulife continues to demonstrate financial strength, rising profits and a dividend that appears sustainable.
TC Energy shares
If you prefer predictable infrastructure income, TC Energy could be a great fit for your portfolio. The Calgary-based company operates one of the largest natural gas pipeline systems in North America. It also owns regulated and contracted power generation assets.
TRP stock is currently trading at $81.09 per share. That translates to a market cap of $84.4 billion and a dividend yield of 4.2%.
In the third quarter of 2025, the energy infrastructure company’s comparable EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) was climbed nearly 13% year-over-year to $2.7 billion.
TC Energy expects 2026 comparable EBITDA to be between $11.6 billion and $11.8 billion. The company also expanded its outlook to 5% to 7% annual EBITDA growth through 2028, supported by strong natural gas and electricity demand. This growth will likely keep cash flow healthy and support higher dividend payments.
Great-West Lifeco shares
For investors who want income while improving earnings growth, Great-West Lifeco could be another solid option. Through brands such as Canada Life, Empower and Irish Life, the company provides retirement, wealth and insurance solutions in North America and Europe.
GWO stock now trades at $60.23 per share with a market cap of $54.4 billion. At this price, it offers a dividend yield of 4.1%.
In the September 2025 quarter, Lifeco’s core earnings rose 15% year over year to a record $1.2 billion. The US segment delivered double-digit earnings growth, while the capital and risk solutions segment increased earnings by 20%.
With a LICAT ratio of 131%, $2.5 billion in cash and a share buyback plan targeting $1.5 billion this year, Lifeco can continue to support its dividend with solid capital management and strong profitability.
