Interest rates have been near all-time lows for a long time. That has led a lot of retirees to ditch bonds in favor of dividend-paying stocks. It would make sense to assume that because of this interest, it would be hard to find top dividend stocks that are actually worth buying right now. But as you'll see below, there are still deals to be had. All of the stocks I've selected here share key traits: dividends yielding over 3% that are sustainable, price tags below the market average, and established businesses with large moats to protect them from competition.
Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG) has 22 different brands with over $1 billion in annual sales, and another 19 that pull in at least $500 million. If you have Crest toothpaste, Gillette razors, Duracell batteries, or even Pampers diapers in your house, you're already a customer of Procter & Gamble. Next on the list is another company that's likely already invaded your home. Kimberly-Clark (NYSE:KMB) is the parent company behind Huggies, Kotex, Depends, and -- most iconic of them all -- Kleenex. The final stock on our list is the country's largest mobile provider, Verizon (NYSE:VZ). The company benefits from two huge factors that provide a formidable moat.
