These Superior Dividend Stocks Are Found in Some Odd Industries
More often than not, dividend stocks are the engine that powers most successful portfolios. While not always the most exciting or fastest-growing companies, businesses that pay dividends offer a host of advantages to investors.
For one, dividend stocks tend to be profitable and have time-tested business models. A company's board of directors is unlikely to continue sharing a percentage of its earnings or cash with shareholders if it doesn't foresee continued profitability and/or growth in the long-term outlook. This makes dividend stocks a beacon of outperformance, relative to their non-dividend-paying peers.
