For 2018, investors might need to be more selective. The best way to stay safe is with dividends. Dividends are great ways to make stable money. But it’s not just about a high dividend yield. A solid history of dividend growth is even better. With all that in mind, here are the top five "must-own" dividend stocks to consider for 2018...
AbbVie (ABBV) is a major drug company, pays a healthy 2.9% dividend yield and had a strong 2017. Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) pays a 2.4% dividend yield and it’s paying out less than 50% of its earnings via dividends. Visa (V) is a name that doesn’t necessarily come to mind when thinking of dividend payers. Home Depot (HD) is one of the only names to own in the retail sector. Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA) is another dividend aristocrat; it has a 42-year streak of consecutive dividend increases.
