Dividend Stocks: These 3 Are Poised to Hike Their Payouts

For investors looking for an adequate return on their money with the least possible volatility, it would be worthwhile to check out the contenders for our top dividend stocks for 2015. The Chinese economy is slowing down. Commodity prices are at multi-year lows. Bond yields are pitiful. With so much uncertainty surrounding the global economy, we should expect much more volatility in the second half of 2015. Given that ugly picture, it’s crucial to have a safe haven in a portfolio, especially if you’re investing for retirement. Dividend-paying companies may just be the answer.

If you don’t already own a couple of solid dividend-paying stocks, the time has come to add a few to your portfolio. These stocks have a remarkable dividend history and I won’t be surprised to see more of a dividend hike in the coming years: Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (NYSE:WMT), PepsiCo, Inc. (NYSE:PEP) and Dominion Resources, Inc. (NYSE:D).
