What’s the one thing we know about dividend-yielding stocks? Over the long-run, they outperform their non-dividend-paying peers. This is true even more so when you take advantage of their dividend reinvestment programs (DRIP) and direct stock purchase plans (DSPP). And with tension in Greece mounting, geopolitical tensions simmering in the Middle East, and the Federal Reserve on the verge of raising interest rates, dividend-yielding stocks with a history of providing capital appreciation and increasing their annual dividend yield can help protect your portfolio from short-term market volatility.
Below are three stocks with a long history of raising their annual dividend yields. They should be able to continue to provide investors with solid capital appreciation regardless of what the Federal Reserve does in the second half of this year: Bristol-Myers Squibb Company (NYSE/BMY), The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE/PG) and Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE/XOM).
