3 Dividend Stocks That Love Janet Yellen

Janet Yellen appeared to be squelching her more hawkish Federal governors on Tuesday as she laid out a more dovish outlook for interest rates. Her cautious tone is due to the global and financial uncertainties that are affecting the domestic economy. The dovish stance is exactly what investors were looking for as the S&P 500 rallied strong through Tuesday afternoon carrying through Wednesday’s activity. While an amicable Yellen will help the broad market, there are more specific groups of stocks that historically benefit even more.

Historically, dividend stocks tend to rally faster than value and the rest of the market in lower interest rate environments. Much of this is because dividend stocks are still using capital markets for operating capital and lower rates equate to better margins. For this reason, these three companies make our list of Stocks that love Janet Yellen: Altria Group (MO), Coca Cola (KO) and Verizon (VZ) are three dividend stocks that will gain from Janet Yellen's peaceful outlook.
