Barron’s selected eight stocks from among the top holdings of the two funds, eschewing any securities with dividend yields below 2%—their solid payout growth notwithstanding. "That precluded high-profile stocks such as Apple (AAPL), which yields 1.1%; Microsoft (MSFT), 1.1%; and Costco Wholesale (COST), 0.9%, among others," Barron;s said.
Barron's said these stocks should have what it takes to sustain, if not grow, their dividends in these tough times. Verizon Communications (VZ), Procter & Gamble (PG), Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), Comcast (CMCSA), Merck (MRK), McDonald's (MCD), PepsiCo (PEP) and Medtronic (MDT). Elsewhere, O’Shares ETFs chairman and “Shark Tank” investor Kevin O’Leary recently said that if you’re worried about dividend cuts, it’s "time to use actively managed ETFs."
