This way, you can create a reliable source of passive income, irrespective of market ups and downs. In addition, you can also expect to enjoy handsome capital gains in the long run with share price appreciation of the dividend stocks you pick.
Let’s look at two of the best Canadian dividend stocks that can help you earn $100 in monthly passive income.
Superior Plus stock
Superior Plus (TSX:SPB) is a Toronto-headquartered utility company with a key focus on the distribution and marketing of propane and distillates across North America. It currently has a market cap of $2.2 billion, as its stock trades at $10.97 per share with about 2.3% year-to-date losses. SPB stock offers an attractive 6.6% annual dividend yield at this market price and distributes these dividend payouts every month.
In the December quarter, Superior Plus posted a 30% YoY (year-over-year) increase in its total revenue to $1.1 billion. With this, the company reported a record fourth-quarter adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization) of $182.6 million, reflecting a 28% improvement from a year ago. In the last couple of years, Superior Plus has made multiple acquisitions, which are expected to strengthen its propane distribution business and contribute positively to its financial growth in 2023 and beyond.
If you want to earn $100 in monthly passive income from its dividends, you can buy 1,667 shares of SPB at the current market price with an investment of about $18,287.

At this market price, it offers a 5% annual dividend yield and distributes dividend payouts on a monthly basis.
Interestingly, MTL stock has risen 207% in the last three years due to its consistently improving financial growth trends. In 2022, its total revenue rose 35% from a year ago to $2 billion with the help of strong demand growth in its less-than-truckload and logistics and warehousing segments. In addition, higher pricing for nearly all its services helped Mullen Group post an outstanding 116% YoY growth in its adjusted earnings for the year to $1.62 per share.
