2 Top Dividend Stocks to Buy and Hold Forever
Few companies have what it takes to deliver sustainable returns over decades. It usually comes down to a rock-solid brand -- or a competitive advantage rivals can't replicate. Let's explore the reasons why legendary restaurant chain McDonald's (NYSE: MCD) and international tobacco giant Philip Morris (NYSE: PM) fit the bill and could potentially maintain their dividend payouts long into the future.
Known globally for its iconic golden arches and cheap hamburgers, few restaurant brands are as recognizable as McDonald's. And that's important for investors who want long-term staying power. The company is also quickly adapting to social media-driven market trends, which should help it solidify its appeal among younger consumers.
