3 Dividend Stocks to Buy Hand Over Fist
With markets in a turbulent mood as we enter October and the final quarter of 2022, it's as good a time as any to fortify your portfolio with rock-solid dividend stocks. Not only do dividend stocks increase your passive income, they can help to bolster your portfolio. Dividend-paying companies are often more stable, mature businesses and their stocks can hold up during bear markets. The best dividend stocks will also consistently increase their dividends year after year and their shareholders will benefit from share price appreciation over time as well.
My approach to dividend investing is looking for stocks with market-beating yields, a dividend that is growing over time, and a dividend that looks safe based on the dividend payout ratio. With that in mind, let's take a look at three dividend stocks that investors should be buying hand over fist in October.
