2015 wasn’t so great for investors looking for slow, reliable returns in dividend stocks. The most notable story of all was how energy prices’ fall throughout the year knocked down the typically reliable oil and gas stocks, many of which not only lost value, but cut away their payouts. In addition to that, anticipation over the Federal Reserve hiking interest rates (which was finally green-lit late last year) helped knock down various yield-bearing assets as well.
But with the new year comes new opportunity. The following three stocks didn’t really do too well in 2015, but they offer pretty good dividends, as well as a few compelling reasons why they should fare a little better in 2016. Dominion Resources, Inc. (D) Yield: 3.8%, HCP, Inc. (HCP) Yield: 5.8% and The Coca-Cola Co (KO) Yield: 3.1%.
