While we don’t know exactly when the market is going to the bottom, it’s fair to say that low-beta stocks can be an attractive place to park some capital until the dust settles. That’s why we’ve put together the following list of 3 defensive dividend stocks to buy now. Let’s take a deeper look at these companies below.
First up is General Mills (GIS), which is one of the largest packaged food manufacturers in the world and the perfect example of a consumer staples company with defensive qualities. Agriculture stocks have been showing a lot of strength during the recent market pullback, and that includes Federal Agriculture Mortage Corp (AGM). I’ve featured Costco (COST) in previous articles and mentioned why it's one of the best big-box retailers to own for the long-term, but it’s also a great dividend stock to consider for its defensive properties.
