Dividend stocks provide the opportunity for consistent income for risk-averse investors. But not all dividend stocks are equally good, and I prefer to find stocks with steadily increasing dividends and wide moats. Three great stocks that come to mind...
Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) is a Dividend Aristocrat, or a dividend stock that has been increasing its payout annually for more than 25 years. CVS Health (CVS) is well known as a retail pharmacy, but people seem to forget the larger (by revenue) component of its business: the pharmacy benefit manager (or PBM), which brought in 68% of revenue last quarter. Realty Income Group (O), the real estate investment trust (or REIT) that's known as "the monthly dividend company," has been significantly more active on the acquisitions front than J&J.
