3 Top Dividend Kings to Buy for the Long Haul
Investors are familiar with Dividend Aristocrats, which have increased their dividends for at least 25 consecutive years. But you might be even more interested in this other group of the S&P 500 called the Dividend Kings, which have increased their dividends for at least 50 consecutive years.
Companies belonging to this category have a track record of running a successful business while rewarding shareholders with consistent dividends. My favorites on the list include healthcare giant Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ), consumer products powerhouse Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG), and industrial conglomerate 3M (NYSE: MMM).
Let's take a look at these three Dividend Kings and why they are good investments for the long haul.
