Income investors prefer sustainable dividend-paying defensive companies that provide products and services that consumers buy regardless of the state of the economy. Those companies should have global leading positions in the industry, a decent dividend yield, and a reasonable payout ratio. Here are the three world-class consumer goods companies that fit all those criteria above: Unilever (NYSE: UL ) , Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG), and Kimberly-Clark (NYSE: KMB).
These global consumer goods businesses could fit well into the income portfolios of long-term investors. With a decent dividend yield, a reasonable payout ratio, and ongoing share buybacks, investors can sleep well when investing in these three companies. Moreover, Unilever, Procter & Gamble, and Kimberly-Clark could drive their profitability higher in the long run with their ongoing business restructuring initiatives and expansions.
