3 Dividend Stocks That Are Perfect for Retirement
It doesn't do retirees much good to fill their portfolios with mature, no-growth companies just because they pay dividends. Instead, retirees should look for nicely growing companies that also pay dividends. That combination should increase total shareholder return, and these three companies provide it.
Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX) could be the perfect example of a dividend-paying company that still has a lot of growth to come. The company is the world's largest coffee chain, with 32,050 company-operated and licensed stores, 18,271 of which are in the Americas.
The Americas are a mature market for Starbucks, but even there the company has room to grow. Management is targeting 3% to 4% annual net new store growth there over the long term, which would mean adding stores at a pace of about 500 a year.
