These royal dividend stocks are offering fat yields, but investors still need to use caution
Investors are getting another education on volatility. It’s been a white-knuckle roller coaster ride since the pandemic hit. Stocks crashed, then soared, then crashed again. Then for most of this year, the market roared higher, only to pull back again. Particularly during down markets, investors turn to dividend aristocrats to buy. That’s because stocks that pay dividends tend to be proven, profitable winners.
Dividend Aristocrats are among the elite of dividend stocks. These are companies that are part of the S&P 500 index that have raised their payouts for at least 25 consecutive years. Out of the thousands of companies that populate the market, only 67 of them make the list.
These battle-tested stocks might be the cream of the crop, but should you buy them? Below are the seven highest-yielding Dividend Aristocrats and a look at whether any or all of them deserve a spot in your portfolio.
