14 Best Dividend Stocks To Buy and Hold

In this article, we discuss 14 best dividend stocks to buy and hold. If you want to see more stocks in this selection, check out 5 Best Dividend Stocks To Buy and Hold

Despite a slowing economy, investors remain confident in dividend growth to cushion their portfolios from financial blows in terms of eroding share prices. Alec Young, chief investment strategist at MAPsignals, told BNN Bloomberg in the beginning of January 2023 that dividend stocks are not only a source of passive income in a volatile environment, but these equities have also contributed about 40% to the overall performance of the US stock market. He noted that data suggests dividend stocks are the best performers during periods of peak inflation, which is the current case for the United States, with CPI inflation between 6% and 7%. Dividend stocks outperform non-dividend payers by a significant margin in times of economic turbulence, as per Young. 

Similarly, Todd Rosenbluth, head of research at VettaFi, anticipates dividend ETFs to be favored this year. He appreciates the Vanguard High Dividend Yield Index Fund (NYSE:VYM), which has companies with above-average dividend yields and provides exposure to defensive sectors. For tech exposure, Rosenbluth recommends the ALPS Sector Dividend Dogs ETF (NYSE:SDOG), a fund that has the five highest-yielding S&P 500 stocks across 10 sectors, with equal weight holdings.

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 59

Dividend Yield as of January 17: 2.87%

The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO) is one of the best dividend stocks to invest in. It is a reliable dividend king, and the company will announce its 61st consecutive dividend increase on February 16th, 2023. The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO) reported on November 30 that it has slashed the number of brands in its portfolio to 200 from 400, while doubling down on scaled global bets to provide beverages across different categories, including alcohol. 

On December 20, Atlantic Equities analyst Edward Lewis said he anticipates a more constrained environment for the global consumer in FY23 as input costs remain high and companies will be looking to at least hold if not hike prices in some cases. In this context, The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO) is one of his preferred names in beverages, as he sees category momentum, continuous investment, and robust execution driving elevated growth. The analyst has an Overweight rating on The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO) shares with a $69 price target.

“Over the last year, we have repositioned our portfolio to navigate the course we see ahead. We added to more defensive areas of the portfolio like consumer staples (The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE:KO)). While the next month or two will likely prove choppy on account of the Omicron variant, we believe that Omicron, like Delta, represents a speed bump on the way to recovery rather than a true change in course. We see strong economic momentum continuing in 2022 and we expect interest rates to rise. After a decade of remarkably low rates, we would not be surprised if this change in direction is accompanied by some fits and starts in the markets. With our emphasis on pricing power, purposeful sector exposure, valuation discipline, and a strong dividend profile, we believe we are well-positioned for the year ahead.”

12. Walmart Inc. (NYSE:WMT)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 68

“The pandemic has created challenges for businesses large and small; one major challenge for large essential retailers such as ClearBridge holdings Home Depot, Walmart Inc. (NYSE:WMT) and Costco have been ensuring adequate staffing to meet demand under trying conditions. All three instituted enhanced pay practices during the pandemic, with raises, unplanned bonuses and other benefits helping compensate employees for their efforts in a difficult environment. In September 2020 Walmart raised wages for 165,000 employees, including a number of entry positions to $15 an hour. It followed this in February with a raise for 425,000 workers that moved its average pay above $15 an hour.”

11. Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ:COST)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 69

Dividend Yield as of January 17: 0.74%

Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ:COST) has raised its quarterly dividends for 18 consecutive years, and the dividend growth outlook remains robust. 

On January 5, Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ:COST) reported December sales of $23.80 billion, up 7% from $22.24 billion last year. The company posted net sales of $82.16 billion for the 18 weeks ended January 1, 2023, compared to $76.34 billion in the same period last year. It is one of the best dividend stocks to buy and hold. 

DA Davidson analyst Michael Baker on January 6 raised the price target on Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ:COST) to $478 from $470 and maintained a Neutral rating on the shares.

Rowan Street Capital made the following comment about Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ:COST) in its Q4 2022 investor letter:

“Let’s look at Costco Wholesale Corporation (NASDAQ:COST). Its dividend yield is 0.8%. Earnings over the next 3-5 years are forecasted to grow at ~10%. The current P/E multiple is a very pricey 34x for such growth rate. Now, Costco is an outstanding business with consistent profits and cash flows. However, the price that you pay is important (and you tend to pay a very high price for a “cheery consensus”) and if the earnings multiple comes down to say 30x, you internal rate of return (IRR) over the next 4-5 years will be around 6-7% from holding Costco’s stock. It’s a decent market-like return, but nothing to be excited about (only a few percentage points over risk-free rate).”

10. Broadcom Inc. (NASDAQ:AVGO)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 74

Dividend Yield as of January 17: 3.18%

9. Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE:LLY)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 75

Dividend Yield as of January 17: 1.25%

Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE:LLY) was founded in 1876 and is headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. The company discovers, develops, and markets human pharmaceuticals worldwide.

Here is what ClearBridge Global Growth Strategy has to say about Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE:LLY) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:

“In the U.S., we initiated a position in pharmaceutical maker Eli Lilly (NYSE:LLY) as it brings out new drug candidates for diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease. New drugs impact diabetes but have also demonstrated significant weight loss for patients who are overweight and have other co-morbidity issues as a result. Lilly is one of the two key players in diabetes care and we believe the potential market opportunity is much higher than the consensus forecasts as we are seeing evidence of accelerating adoption.”

8. Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 75

Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM) is an American multinational producer of crude oil and natural gas in the United States and internationally.

In its Q2 2022 investor letter, First Eagle Investments, an asset management firm, highlighted a few stocks and Exxon Mobil Corporation (NYSE:XOM) was one of them. Here is what the fund said:

“Integrated oil and gas giant Exxon Mobil performed well in the second quarter as continued high prices for energy products supported the stock. As the largest refiner in the US, the company has benefitted from wide “crack spreads,” or the margin between the cost of crude oil and the petroleum products extracted from it. Exxon continues to invest in refining capacity in the US, which industry wide has been in steady decline since 2019. We are pleased that Exxon has been using its strong cash flows to reduce debt and to return cash to shareholders through dividends and stock repurchases.”

7. AbbVie Inc. (NYSE:ABBV)

Here is what Baron Funds specifically said about AbbVie Inc. (NYSE:ABBV) in its Q3 2022 investor letter:

“AbbVie Inc. (NYSE:ABBV) is a drug developer best known for Humira, an immunosuppressant that is the best selling drug of all time. Given outsized key product risk (patent cliff and generic launches beginning in 2023), AbbVie has broadened its pipeline, highlighted by its Allergan acquisition. Shares fell on results that missed consensus and indications that legacy franchises were outperforming newer product launches, calling into question AbbVie’s long-term strategy. With promising assets in the pipeline and its robust cash flow profile, we believe AbbVie will grow well into the future.”

“Johnson & Johnson (NYSE:JNJ) is currently our largest position and a long-standing holding. The majority of the group’s sales comes from its collection of pharmaceutical franchises, but a large majority (~45%) comes from its collection of medical device businesses and its consumer brands.

Here’s how JNJ makes and spends a dollar of revenues: As of 2021, about 55 cents of that dollar comes from its pharmaceutical sales – sales of drugs to pharmacies and distributors – while 30 cents come from the sale of medical devices, such as surgery equipment and orthopedics.
