These High Dividend Stocks Can Withstand Rising Rates

If this year’s hit to dividend-paying sectors taught us anything, it’s that rising Treasury yields can be dangerous for income-producing stocks. That leaves investors in a bind. Do you by high-dividend payers and hope for the best or give up on income completely?

Well, Morgan Stanley yesterday released a report that looks for stocks with a dividend yield of at least 3% but who’s fundamentals should allow it to hold up just fine, even if rates rise. And they came up with a list of 20, including: Abbvie (ABBV), Ameren Corp. (AEE), Arthur J. Gallagher (AJG), E.I. DuPont de Nemours & Co. (DD), General Mills (GIS), H&R Block (HRB), Hancock Holding (HBHC), Kraft Foods Group (KRFT), McDonald’s (MCD), Microchip Technology (MCHP) and NextEra Energy (NEE).
