The safest dividend is the one that was just hiked. If management was confident enough to raise the dividend, it generally means that company is bringing in ample cash for future dividends. So, by further limiting your list of dividend stocks to those with a good recent history of raising the payout, you better increase your odds for outperformance. So, today we’re going to take a look at five dividend stocks that would be every bit as appropriate for a young investor just starting to save as for a retiree living on the golf course.
I’ll start with consumer electronics juggernaut Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL). Up next is Apple’s old rival from the PC era, Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT). Omega Healthcare Investors Inc (NYSE:OHI) has raised its dividend every year since 2003… and for 20 consecutive quarters. If you liked the tale of the tortoise and the hare, you’ll love oil and gas pipeline operator Enterprise Products Partners L.P. (NYSE:EPD). I consider the Vanguard Dividend Appreciation ETF (NYSEARCA:VIG) to be a solid option both as a one-stop shop for dividend growth and as a pre-scrubbed list for individual dividends.
