The 3 Highest-Yielding Dividend Kings in April
Dividend Kings have increased their dividends annually for at least 50 consecutive years. That is not an easy feat, and only companies with a strong business model that performs well in both good and bad markets can achieve Dividend King status. Which is why income investors are so fond of Dividend Kings.
If you are also fond of high yields, you may want to look at Altria (NYSE: MO), Universal Corporation (NYSE: UVV), and Kimberly Clark (NASDAQ: KMB) today, since they are the three highest-yielding Dividend Kings. Here's a quick look at each one.
Altria's dividend yield is 6.3%, which is huge compared to the roughly 1.1% being paid by the S 500 index (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC). The Dividend King's primary product is cigarettes, which is both a positive and a negative.
