69 May Aristocrats: Buy 1 Of 38 "Safer" Dividend Dogs
Many S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats remain overvalued, but select high-yield 'Dogs' like Realty Income and Amcor offer attractive entry points for income investors. Analyst forecasts suggest the top ten Aristocrat Dogs could deliver 16% to 38% net gains by May 2026, with average risk below the market. Caution: Fourteen Aristocrats have negative free cash flow margins, making their dividends less secure despite high yields—focus on 'safer' picks like Hormel.
