5 Can’t-Miss Dividend Stocks to Buy

The Fed has spoken. Its March 18 statement was one of the most anticipated in history, as investors had come to fear that rate hikes could start as soon as June. But after the Federal Reserve downgraded its expectations for inflation going forward, Fed watchers concluded that September would be the earliest that hiking would begin, and even then it would proceed at a much slower pace than previously feared. Even in a broadly overpriced U.S. market, we can still find solid deals on dividend stocks. If bought at a reasonable price, a good dividend stock offers both a competitive current yield and a strong probability of dividend growth.

Whether the Fed starts hiking rates in June, September or never, good dividend stocks will continue to chug along, paying their dividends every quarter and (ideally) raising them at least once per year. Here are five can’t-miss dividend stocks to buy, regardless of what the Fed decides to do next: Kinder Morgan Inc (KMI), General Electric Company (GE), McDonald’s Corporation (MCD), Realty Income Corp (O) and Apple Inc. (AAPL).
