Companies that pay a part of their earnings to stockholders are known as dividend stocks. The payment is a dividend and is a return of cash to shareholders. Most dividend stocks come from well-established companies with stable revenue and earnings. In turn, this consistency allows the company to pay a dividend.
Verizon
Verizon (VZ) is number one on this list for two reasons: an excellent dividend yield combined with good dividend safety. First, most investors know about Verizon. The company is a cell phone giant with one of the largest US networks.
Microsoft
Coca-Cola (KO) is one of the most well-known dividend stocks. Additionally, the company owns some of the most famous brands globally, operating in more than 200 countries.
Consolidated Edison's market is mature but growing. As a regulated utility, the company has a monopoly in its service area. In addition, the population of the NYC area continues to grow. In turn, this growth should drive electricity and natural gas demand.
