3 Dividend Stocks for 2017

There are investors who prefer regular income and are on the lookout for quality dividend stocks that provide decent top-line and EPS growth. I have selected companies that pay regular dividends and have a history of consistent dividend growth. A very high dividend yield is a risk at times because it may be a sign of significant stock price decline, meaning the dividends are in jeopardy.

It is always important to be cautious since dividends are not guaranteed and can be changed at any time. In my opinion, companies that are market leaders with a decent dividend yield and a strong history of dividend payouts should be considered as an investment opportunity. Some dividend stocks I believe are the safest investments are Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ), Procter & Gamble Co. (NYSE:PG) and NextEra Energy Inc. (NYSE:NEE).
