With interest rates at historic lows and bond-yields heading down quickly, the payouts from dividend stocks are becoming more and more appealing with every passing day. However, in this market, it’s important to dive deep into a company’s financials and business model prior to investing since many businesses will have cash flow issues in the near-term that could put their dividends at risk. That’s why we’ve compiled a list of 3 smart dividend stocks to buy now to save you some of the hard work.
If you are looking for a company in the healthcare industry that is a dividend king, meaning that they have increased their dividend payout for at least 50 consecutive years, you need to take a look at Johnson & Johnson (JNJ). Sometimes, boring is a good quality to look for when it comes to dividend stocks. If you can find a company like AT&T (T) that has steady cash flows and an established customer base, it’s absolutely worth a look. Coca-Cola Company (KO) is one of the most iconic brands in the world. The multinational beverage corporation offers a solid 3.51% dividend yield and is another member of the esteemed dividend aristocrat club.
