Holding shares of a company that issues a rising stream of dividend payments can have a big impact on your returns. A $10,000 investment in Walmart (NYSE: WMT) stock in 1990 would be worth $175,000 today. But dividend reinvestment would have added nearly $100,000 more to your returns.

Walmart has been paying and growing its dividend since 1974, which should make the stock a worthy candidate for any income investor. The company is uniquely positioned to withstand rough economic patches, such as the one we're in now related to COVID-19.

We'll review how Walmart has fared during the pandemic before dissecting its recent dividend history to help investors determine if this is the right dividend stock for their nest egg.
