5 Dividend Stocks You Can Confidently Buy and Hold for the Next 25 Years

Reliable dividend stocks are a rewarding way to unlock income from your investments, and dividend-paying stocks have historically outperformed non-dividend stocks over time. With this in mind, we've put together a list of five winning dividend stocks that promise to reward investors for the next 25 years. In the article below, Motley Fool contributors explain why Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX), PepsiCo (NYSE:PEP), Mastercard (NYSE:MA), Disney (NYSE:DIS), and Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG) are winners through-and-through.

Not only does Starbucks boast a reliable dividend of $0.64 per share, but it is also growing its business and dividend at a breakneck pace these days. Diversified food and beverage giant PepsiCo is a dividend stock I'm going to confidently hold for the next 25 years, and perhaps even longer. It's probably a shock for most Americans to hear, but cash is still used for the overwhelming majority of all transactions worldwide -- 85%, according to one report. That means there's a long growth runway for entrenched players in the cashless economy. Companies with dominant competitive advantages can reward their shareholders for decades, and that's certainly been the case with Disney. With a strong dividend yield, an established history of annual payout increases and share repurchases, and a strong line of brands, Procter and Gamble is a compelling long term investment option.
