Fourteen of the highest-yielding, 'safer' S&P 500 dividend stocks are currently attractively priced, with free cash flow supporting their payouts. Top ten S&P 500 dividend 'dogs' are projected to deliver 23.93% to 38.57% net gains by October 2026, based on analyst targets. Stocks like CAG, VZ, DOC, BMY, KVUE, CPB, UDR, VTRS, KIM, TFC, KEY, HPQ, T, and RF meet the ideal of dividends from $1K invested exceeding share price.

U.S. equity markets tumbled in a sudden jolt of volatility as investors - already flying blind on key data - reacted to a surprise, massive tariff announcement on Chinese imports. The White House announced a 100% added tariff on all Chinese imports beginning next month - up from 30% currently - as retaliation to new export controls on rare minerals. The CBOE Volatility Index surged to the highest levels since mid-May in a sudden onset of angst following several months of relatively tranquil market conditions.

There are two ways to view the collection of Dividend Kings, a relatively short list of companies that have increased their dividends yearly for 50-plus years. One is as a source of reliable dividend stocks.

Dividend Kings have proven to be the most durable dividend stocks over the decades. These companies have increased their payouts at least once each year for at least half a century.

It takes a company with a strong business plan executed well in good times and bad to get on the list of Dividend Kings. You simply can't increase a dividend every single year for 50-plus years without doing something right.

FRT's premium assets and mixed-use growth drive expansion, but e-commerce shifts and heavy debt pose challenges.
