Johnson & Johnson and Pfizer are both high-quality
pharma blue chips with strong track records of dividend growth and market
beating returns.
And while JNJ has the superior business fundementals, in the
short to medium term, Pfizer has the stronger growth runway, which will likely
make for superior total returns.
In addition, Pfizer is currently trading at a far more
appealing valuation, making it the superior dividend stock to buy right now.
That being said, investors looking to add to existing
positions in either stock should probably wait for a correction.
As well as keep in mind the big risks facing both pharma
giants.
Big pharma stocks like Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) and
Pfizer (NYSE:PFE) have long been favorites of dividend growth investors and for
good reason. Their recession resistant business models and steady cash flows
allow for generous, secure, and steadily growing payouts that generally result
in solid market beating long-term performance.

Personally, I'm in pfizer and this is one of the few in my list that were purchased at the exact right time. So now, I'm in doubt: sell or keep for dividends... :)
