Income investors need to remain disciplined in their strategy, however, and not fall for the latest fads. The best dividend stocks to buy now aren’t swing trades or picks that could explode on one earnings report or buyout rumor. After all, dividend yields are calculated based on one year of distributions, so if you’re not buying these picks for the long term then you might as well not even look at that metric! The good news is that if you can stick to your guns and keep a cool head, the best dividend stocks to buy now can pay off not just in 2016 and 2017, but for many years down the road thanks to consistent performance and reliable dividend payments.
So if you’re the kind of investor who finds a sleepy master limited partnership with a 4% yield and a 5% annual return more attractive than a gut-wrenching momentum play, this list is for you. Here are the seven best dividend stocks to buy now: Ventas, Inc. (VTR), Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (DLR), McDonald’s Corporation (MCD), Philip Morris International Inc. (PM), Public Storage (PSA), Spectra Energy Partners, LP (SEP) and American Water Works Company Inc (AWK).
