2 High-Yield Dividend Stocks I'd Buy Right Now
When evaluating dividend-paying stocks, it's important to consider the company's overall business prospects and the dividend growth record. It's a lot more fun watching share price increases while accumulating growing dividend payouts than falling for unsustainably high dividend yields and watching your investment drop.
That's why I like rock-solid companies like AbbVie (NYSE: ABBV) and Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) for investors looking for dividends. Both companies have great businesses well positioned for the future, and it is highly unlikely either will have problems paying its dividends. Let's look at each business more closely.
There's a lot to like about pharmaceutical firm AbbVie's 4.8% dividend. The company has had 48 consecutive years of dividend increases and a three-year dividend growth rate of 22.6%.
