3 Safe Dividend Stocks to Beat Inflation

Has inflation got you scared? If you're an investor, it should. With inflation running at an annualized rate of 7.9% for the 12 months ending in February, that would outpace the growth of many investments. To help counter that, you might want to consider dividend stocks, especially those with yields of 8% or more that have safe, sustainable payout ratios for those yields. They should also demonstrate safety with at least three consecutive years of dividend growth and at least four straight years of revenue growth.

Camping World Holdings (NYSE: CWH), OneMain Holdings (NYSE: OMF), and Arbor Realty Trust (NYSE: ABR) all passed those metrics, and all three are attractively priced based on their price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios.
