Dividend investing is all the rage, but as I have mentioned before, yield isn't everything these days. There's a lot to be said for chasing sustainability instead of paydays that won't last. So to that end, I poured myself a scotch and spent an evening crunching numbers for all you dividend stock investors out there. My intention was to find stocks that offer nice paydays -- but also that were steadily increasing those dividends and outperforming the market.
I could bog you down with lots of words and commentary, but most investors just want to see the data. So on with the show: Here are 5 of my Ultimate Dividend stocks, ordered by year they started paying out, and the results of my research: Consolidated Edison (ED) Current Yield: 3.8%, Procter & Gamble (PG) Current Yield: 3.5%, Kimberly Clark (KMB) Current Yield: 3.5%, Emerson Electric (EMR) Current Yield: 3.6% and PepsiCo (PEP) Current Yield: 3.1%.
