3 Top Dividend Stocks to Buy in November

Investors looking for dividend stocks in 2020 need to play a balancing act between yield and growth potential. More than in most years, high yields that we've seen in some real estate investment trusts (REITs) and restaurant stocks can be a warning sign that there's something fundamentally wrong with a company due to the effects of COVID-19. On the flip side, low dividend yields don't necessarily mean that a stock isn't a great dividend play long-term.

Given that backdrop, three dividend stocks stick out as buys this month. Verizon (NYSE: VZ), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), and Target (NYSE: TGT) have a lot going for them operationally and some great dividends to own long-term.
