Dividend Stocks to Watch and Buy

Today, newly minted advisor of Fool U.K.'s Dividend Edge service Todd Wenning shares two dividend-paying companies on his watchlist, and one that you should buy today. The dividend-lover in Todd loves the moment when a company realizes it's no longer a tech darling, a daring and dashing growth company. The moment it realizes it is a mature company is usually when it really commits to its dividend.

Intel (Nasdaq: INTC) is there. The world's largest semiconductor chip maker has seen its share price drop more than 15% over the past five years thanks to low-cost competitors in Asia and currently trades at one of the lowest valuation multiples ever: 11 times forward earnings with a 3% dividend. Todd anticipates Intel will roll some of its ample cash flow toward boosting that yield. And, as leading academic Jeremy Siegel writes in his The Future for Investors, with 97% of the real returns coming from dividends rather than capital growth, Todd believes he's found a long-term winner.
