John D. Rockefeller once said the only pleasure he had in life was watching his dividends come in, and when markets are behaving as they have recently, you can easily see why. Stock prices are volatile, but you can always count on a steady and rising stream of payments from the most stalwart of dividend stocks. Dividend stocks are under some serious price pressure this year, hurt by anticipation of a Federal Reserve rate hike, but dependable dividend stocks always have a place in any long-term investor’s portfolio.
In every case, these stocks are members of the S&P Dividend Aristocrats, which is an index of dividend stocks that have increased their payouts every year for at least a quarter of a century. That makes these six dividend stocks among the best of the best: AT&T (T), Cincinnati Financial (CINF), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), PepsiCo (PEP), Sysco (SYY) and Target (TGT).
