Verizon stands as the only Dow stock meeting the ideal of annual dividends from $1K invested exceeding its share price, supported by strong free cash flow.

Most Dow dividend stocks are currently overpriced, but market corrections or dividend increases could create more fair-priced buying opportunities.
