3 Dividend Aristocrats to Buy and Hold Forever
Dividend Aristocrats are an elite group. They're part of a special collection of dividend stocks that have managed to increase their payouts for at least 25 straight years. That's an impressive feat, considering that dividends are usually among the first cuts many companies make when the going gets tough. That was certainly the case this year as hundreds slashed or suspended payouts in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak.
Three dividend stocks that stand out for their ultra-long-term durability are pipeline-giant Enbridge (NYSE: ENB), real estate investment trust (REIT) Realty Income (NYSE: O), and home-improvement retailer Lowe's (NYSE: LOW). Here's what makes this trio worth buying and never selling.
