Despite Low Margins, These 2 Dividend Stocks Are Cash Machines
Earnings season is underway and it has only added to the broader stock market's volatility over the past several months. Major moves to the upside and downside seem like the norm nowadays for many stocks as investors struggle to process a mixed bag of company-specific pros and cons and macroeconomic issues.
So far, Walmart (NYSE: WMT) and Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ: COST) seem to be somewhat immune to the volatility. They aren't just beating the market in 2022; they've produced positive total returns and are both trading around all-time highs. Let's take a closer look and see why they seem to be holding up so well in a volatile trading environment and maybe even compare the two to see which consumer staples stock is the better buy now.
