Whether you are investing for growth or income — depending on your investment style or the objective you’re trying to achieve — how you construct your portfolio matters. But when it comes to dividend stocks, it doesn’t have to be an either/or type of situation. The best dividend stocks offer both worlds — growth and income. And you get the peace of mind that comes from owning a company with enough confidence in its cash position to not only pay a dividend, but to consistently grow the annual yield over time.
Let’s look at three double-threat dividend stocks to sock away and never think about again: With an annual dividend of $1.88 per share yielding 5.5%, dividend aristocrat AT&T, Inc. (NYSE:T) has to bat leadoff. Next on our list, we go from a wireless carrier to smartphone maker Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL). Moving from the world’s largest company to one that once held that title, Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSCO) rounds off our list of double-threat dividend stocks.
