3 Top Dividend Stocks for 2014

Those seeking the top dividend stocks 2014 has to offer are on a wise quest. Dividends, after all, can turbocharge a portfolio, generating welcome income in both rising and falling markets. Another thing to remember is that top dividend stocks in 2014 and any other year are likely to be sturdier than many other investments. That's because companies tend to commit to paying dividends only when they feel reasonably sure that they'll be able to keep paying them.

When it comes to finding top dividend stocks, 2014 is a great time to start, or continue, investing in dividend payers. Below are three compelling companies that stood out when I screened for significant dividend yields among companies with average three-year growth rates of 5% or more for both revenue and earnings: Meridian Bioscience (NASDAQ: VIVO), Omega Healthcare Investors Inc (NYSE: OHI) and Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (NYSE: EPD).
