3 Attractive Healthcare Dividend Stocks for 2024

The U.S. healthcare sector is attractive for long-term investors, because the industry is set to benefit from a major growth tailwind -- the aging population. The U.S. is an aging country with a very large 65+ population. This means demand for healthcare is only set to grow going forward, at a rate above GDP growth. For investors, the opportunity is the many blue-chip stocks in healthcare that will provide shareholders with long-term growth and dividends. These three healthcare stocks are appealing today for their attractive valuations and total return potential.

Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMY) is a leading drug maker of cardiovascular and anti-cancer therapeutics, with annual revenues of about $47 billion. CVS Health Corp. (CVS) is an integrated healthcare services provider that operates a pharmaceutical services business, along with the country's largest chain of pharmacies. Baxter International (BAX) develops and sells a variety of healthcare products, including biological products, medical devices, and connected care services devices used to monitor patients.
