The healthcare sector has been one of the best sectors for dividend hunters -- most of the companies operating in the sector generate massive cash flow and payout a large chunk in dividends. Despite tight regulations and hefty investment in new technologies, these companies have been able to generate impressive growth figures.
GlaxoSmithKline (NYSE: GSK), Pfizer (NYSE: PFE), and AstraZeneca (NYSE: AZN) are some of the star performers of the industry, in my opinion. 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.
