Semiconductor giant Broadcom Ltd (NASDAQ:AVGO) has just paid a dividend of $1.75, up from $1.02 the previous quarter. If you haven’t heard of Air Products and Chemicals, Inc. (NYSE:APD), listen closely. I highly recommend Irish-based Medtronic PLC (NYSE:MDT), one of the world’s largest medical equipment development companies. McDonald’s Corporation (NYSE:MCD) a.k.a. the “Golden Arches,” boasts a lucrative dividend payout. Back in September, the board of directors approved a sizable payout increase of 7%. Oil and gas giant Chevron Corporation (NYSE:CVX) is a premium dividend stock for the long-term. Chevron’s dividend yield is a lucrative 3.9% thanks to an annual payout of $4.48. I highly recommend checking out Marlboro-maker Philip Morris International Inc. (NYSE:PM). Theme park giant Cedar Fair, L.P. (NYSE:FUN) is a key dividend stock that often gets overlooked by investors.
