3 Top Dividend Stocks to Buy Right Now
It's an interesting time in the stock markets to say the least. The S&P 500 is up 9% in the past three months, nearly making up for the crash that happened in March.
Despite millions of Americans losing their jobs due to the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting lockdowns, there's a lot of bullishness in the markets -- perhaps too much. The possibility of another market crash lurks around the corner, and for concerned investors now may be the time to add some top dividend stocks into your portfolio for safety. Below are three excellent ones that look like solid buys right now.
Abbott Laboratories (NYSE: ABT) is up about 13% in three months, but its valuation hasn't taken off like many other stocks have during that time. What makes the healthcare company a top dividend stock is that not only has Abbott paid dividends since 1924 without missing a beat but it's also increased its dividend payments for 48 years in a row, making it a Dividend Aristocrat.
