3 of the Best Dividend Aristocrats for Retirement

Dividend Aristocrats were an important part of the retired investor’s portfolio then, because their cash flow is not only so fantastic that they can continue raising dividends year after year, but because they also have enough growth in some cases to boost annual returns to that important 10% level. I’ve got three Dividend Aristocrats that not only pay that yummy dividend, but that I think have a pretty decent shot at growing earnings enough that their stock prices should also rise to breach the 10% annual level.

The first stop for any retired investor, or a Dividend Aristocrats choice, should be an insurance stock like Old Republic International Corporation (NYSE:ORI). VF Corp (NYSE:VFC) sounds about as boring of the Dividend Aristocrats as one can possibly find, and yet, you actually know its products. AbbVie Inc (NYSE:ABBV) is the spinoff from Abbott Laboratories (NYSE:ABT).
