These three companies have impressive dividend yields and attractive growth opportunities. All of the above mentioned companies have impressive dividend yields and attractive growth opportunities. Pfizer and GlaxoSmithKline offer lower dividend yields compared to AstraZeneca, but these two giants have stronger free cash flows. Healthcare stocks are an attractive investment opportunity at the moment due to increased focus on emerging markets. These markets have the ability to substantially increase the revenue of these giants.
