3 dividend shares to consider buying for passive income as a commercial war explodes

The market reaction to Donald Trump's decision to impose tariffs on Canada, Mexico and China has been fast and surprising. It remains to be seen if this marks the beginning of a sustained fall in the world prices of the actions or simply a temporary bamboleo. But I can see that some dividend shares that the United Kingdom investors can consider buying for passive income if the first proves to be the case.

Tesco

Supermarket giant Tesco (LSE: TSCO) It looks attractive when it comes to generating extra cash. Its internal market approach means that it is protected, to some extent (but not completely), the impact of international rates.

According to analysts' forecasts, Tesco actions change from hands to a price ratio ratio (P/E) of 13 for FY26 (from March). That is not cheap for a consumer defensive stock. But it is still reasonable in relation to the United Kingdom market in general. A dividend yield close to 4% is also more than investors would receive from a fund that simply tracks the Ftse 100.

Of course, continuous and intense competition means that this will always be a low margin business. The higher national insurance contributions and an increase in the minimum wage of April are winds against additional.

However, Tesco has not only managed to hold on to his crown, but also grow Your market share in recent years. That says a lot. And regardless of what President Trump does below, we all need to eat.

National grid

Power supplier National grid (LSE: NG) It could be another option to consider. While it has exposure to the United States, its main role is to operate the electricity and gas transmission networks of the United Kingdom. Once again, this is something that we simply do not dispense and help explain why actions are really above Today (February 3).

Of course, no investment has no risk. And the existing owners of National Grid certainly did not react well to the news last May that the company would reduce its payments to help finance its transition to renewable energy sources.

Even so, the forecast yield for Fy26 is currently 4.8%. And after having reduced the payment once, I suspect that management would not be willing to do it again.

The debt is (very) high, but the predictable nature of what the grid does helps to calm any concern about it.

MONY GROUP

Price comparison website operator MONY Cluster (LSE: MONY) It is a third stock that is worth reflecting. As things are, analysts have the Ftse 250 Down member to produce a powerful 6.8% at the current price of shares.

Unfortunately, at least some of the latter are reduced to the low performance of shares. You can blame a good tablespoon of this “Persistent soft market conditions“In its home services division. The increase in wholesale energy prices has meant the lack of competitive agreements and less providers for change of persons.

The numbers of the entire owner of Monysupermarket.com must be presented on February 17. I do not hope fireworks. But any slight improvement could make the assessment, only 11 times, prostage profits of the 2015 fiscal year, look like a bargain.

Regardless of what happens, the underlying business has distinctive quality stamps. Thanks to its nature only online, we are talking about very high margins and returns above the average cash management that gets to work.

Could this other company in the United Kingdom be acquired at a low price?
