With the bullishness of the Trump era, dividend stocks may have moved to the back seat for a lot of investors.

In the last few years, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (NYSE:WMT) has been a surprising turnaround story. The world's largest retailer was losing sales to Amazon.com and a host of other rivals, with comparable sales falling as recently as 2014.
