Buy 3 'Safer' Dividend Kings Of 25 From March's 55
The article highlights 55 Dividend Kings, noting that five of the top ten by yield offer annual dividends from a $1K investment exceeding their single share prices. Analysts predict top-ten Kingly net gains ranging from 12.57% to 50.26% for March 2026, with six out of ten top-yield Kings expected to be top gainers. Sixteen out of fifty-five Kings show negative free cash flow margins, making them cash-poor and unsafe to buy; focus on safer Kings like Altria, United Bankshares, and Hormel.

United Bankshares: A Neat-And-Tidy Operator
United Bankshares, the holding company for West Virginia's United Bank, has notched up over 50 years of consecutive annual dividend growth. United has consistently outperformed peers on credit quality. This may stand it in good stead given current economic uncertainty. While United's stock hasn't been the best performer in recent years, that's largely due to multiple contraction. The valuation for today's investor looks reasonable.

United Bankshares has a solid dividend history but lacks significant growth, prompting a hold rating instead of a buy. UBSI's loan portfolio and non-interest-bearing deposits have stalled, indicating weak organic growth despite its strong management and extensive branch network. UBSI's dividend yield of 4.24% is stable, but not attractive compared to long-term Treasuries.
