Higher rates have created a rare chance to buy quality dividend payers at yields not seen in years, well beyond the usual high-yield niches. Two dividend machines with 20+ years of payouts have pulled back sharply. I think the drop is about interest rates, not weaker businesses. One is an infrastructure fund with an exceptional payout record. The other is a cash-generative blue chip that covers its dividend with room to spare.
