3 Safe Dividend Aristocrats to Buy in November
When market volatility is high, it can be challenging to find reliable stocks. Although no investment in public equities is completely safe, companies that have a track record of paying and raising their dividends over time offer a powerful indication of consistency.
Supporting a dividend and gradually increasing it year after year is a sign that a company is growing its earnings and cash flows, and prioritizes the dividend as a means to transfer profits directly to investors. Dividend Kings are a rare breed of companies that have paid and raised their dividends annually for at least 50 consecutive years. Genuine Parts Company (NYSE: GPC), Illinois Tool Works (NYSE: ITW), and Emerson Electric (NYSE: EMR) stand out as three dividend stocks to buy in November and hold over the long term.
