Cheap, Safe Dividend Stocks

Defensive investors like stocks with sustainable, high dividend yields even in bear markets. David Fish’s US Dividend Champions list consists of all US stocks that have increased their dividend payouts for at least 25 consecutive years. Fish also created two separate sub-lists: “Dividend Contenders” that have increased their payouts for 10-24 years and “Dividend Challengers” that have increased their payouts for 5-9 years.

Although such stocks with high-quality dividends are appealing to defensive investors, some of them did not perform well during the year. Below we compiled a list of S&P stocks with dividend yields of at least 3%, and most of them have lost at least 15% YTD. All companies are S&P constituents and are on David Fish’s list, which means that they have increased their payouts for at least 5 years.
