4 Unstoppable Dividend Stocks to Buy Now (1 Yields 7.4%)
Lots of investors keep coming back to dividend stocks for a pretty simple reason: While the market is often busy chasing whatever happens to be hot that week, a growing dividend is something a company actually has to earn. It has to generate the cash to keep paying investors quarter after quarter, year after year.
That makes dividends especially appealing when the market and the economy feel like they’re being pulled in every direction. A company can dress up a press release, but it can’t fake the cash sitting in its bank account. When it comes time to pay a dividend, the money is either there or it isn’t.
What interests me most, though, aren’t necessarily the big, well-known dividend payers. I’m more interested in the companies flying under the radar that have increased their payouts for decades while also making meaningful changes to their underlying businesses today. These four companies fit that description.
