Wall Street’s volatility is a cause for concern when your primary goal is to buy low and sell much higher. However, income investors with a long-term focus on regular dividend payments have much more to be cheerful about.
That's because when share prices decline, dividend yields rise.
Here are 10 of the top dividend payers in the S&P 500 index. Income investors should take a close look at these names as they position their portfolio for the New Year.
1. Altria Group (ticker: MO). Altria is the company behind big U.S. cigarette brands like Marlboro, smokeless tobacco products including Copenhagen and Skoal, and wines under labels including Chateau Ste. Michelle. That reliable revenue fuels reliable dividends.
2. Macerich Co. (MAC). Macerich is a real estate investment trust, or REIT, that develops and manages malls. As of 2019, Macerich owned 51 million square feet of real estate in 47 regional shopping centers from Arizona to Chicago to the District of Columbia. – Jeff Reeves
