In today's low interest rate environment, long-term investors may wish to consider dividend stocks as an alternative to fixed income investments. The five stocks listed below are going ex-dividend tomorrow (this means that you must purchase the stock today to qualify for the next dividend payment) -- each of these stocks also has a yield higher that the S&P 500 dividend yield and has a "buy rating" from TheStreet Ratings award-winning stock rating model.
TheStreet Ratings stock-rating model favors defensive investments with a bias towards conservatively financed companies that have demonstrated a history of favorable shareholder returns. Chubb (CB) is a holding company with subsidiaries mainly engaged in the property and casualty insurance business. H. J. Heinz (HNZ) manufactures and markets an extensive line of food products throughout the world. Iron Mountain (IRM is a global provider of information protection and storage services. Superior Industries (SUP) is engaged in the design and manufacture of aluminum wheels, for sale to original equipment manufacturers. Sempra Energy (SRE) is an energy services holding company, which provides electric, natural gas and other energy products and services to its customers.
