2 Safe Dividend Stocks to Buy in 2021

The stock market boomed in 2020, recovering from a steep sell-off in March driven by the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic is nowhere close to under control. While widespread availability of vaccines may be just a few months away, there's a ton of uncertainty for investors, particularly with many stocks trading at sky-high valuations.

For investors looking to ride out whatever the stock market throws at them in 2021, safe dividend stocks may be the answer. Two dividend stocks that come to mind are Home Depot (NYSE: HD) and Cisco Systems (NASDAQ: CSCO). Both stocks pay dividends that easily beat the S&P 500, and both stocks trade for reasonable valuations.
