More often than not, dividend stocks are what form the foundation of any great retirement portfolio. Not only have dividend stocks handily outperformed non-dividend-paying stocks over the long run, but they also offer a number of other advantages that income investors are bound to like. To begin with, dividend-paying companies often have time-tested business models. A business is unlikely to pay a recurring dividend to investors if its management team didn't believe profits would grow in the future. Thus, dividend stocks are often a beacon of profitability and stability that attract income seekers.
The good news is there are a number of top high-yield dividends that income seekers can consider buying in 2017. Here are three to add to your list: Seagate Technology (NASDAQ:STX) may be in better shape than Wall Street is giving the company credit for. AbbVie (NYSE:ABBV) isn't your traditional drug company. There's little denying the prime selling point of AbbVie -- anti-inflammatory drug Humira. A final top high-yield dividend stock worthy of your consideration is integrated oil and gas giant Royal Dutch Shell (NYSE:RDS-A)(NYSE:RDS-B).
