This Dividend King just made a major strategic pivot.
Focusing on dividend stocks at or near historic high yields enables value-driven capital gains and income, especially when yields exceed the 10-year Treasury. Five standout stocks—VICI, EMN, AES, KMB, and PEP—currently offer 4%+ yields near historic highs, supported by solid credit ratings and dividend growth histories. Relative valuation metrics (P/E or P/AFFO) confirm these winners are trading below their 5-year averages, highlighting attractive entry points.
KMB is driving growth through science-backed innovation, supporting market share gains and stronger volume growth.
In 2026, the Dividend Kings have significantly outperformed the S&P 500 as investors rotate out of high-valuation growth stocks and into companies offering stable, reliable cash flows.
Church & Dwight leverages a focused "power brand" strategy to maintain consistent net margins across its household and personal care segments. Kimberly-Clark is undergoing a significant business transformation through its Arbex joint venture and the pending acquisition of Kenvue.
Kimberly-Clark is far from flashy, but what it lacks in glitz and glam, it makes up for with predictability.
Dividend Kings are companies that have increased their dividend payments for at least 50 consecutive years. Automatic Data Processing has seen its share price drop over concerns about unemployment.
