Other than the obvious reason that investors like the steady stream of income that comes from investing in dividend-paying stocks, the stability it conveys about a particular business provides a certain peace of mind to income investors. Of course, companies do get into financial trouble and cut or suspend their dividend payments, but management is often loathe to take such a course given the impact that doing so will have on its stock price.
Here are three dividend stocks that investors can feel reasonably certain will be paying dividends well into the future and thereby serving income-seeking investors well: Darden Restaurants (NYSE:DRI), MasterCard (NYSE:MA), and Pfizer (NYSE:PFE).
