The 4 Best Dividend Stocks of 2025

Dividend stocks are always popular with investors. What could be better than getting a quarterly check just for holding a stock? While many investors tend to gauge these stocks primarily by the size of their yields, there are other factors to consider. Long-term investors will want to pick stocks with substantial future growth potential and ones that are able to continue funding dividend increases.

After all, the true divided yield you get is based on the price you paid, not the current price of the stock. We asked four of our top contributors to look into their crystal balls and predict what they think will be the best dividend stock to have in your portfolio 10 years from now. They chose American Water Works (NYSE: AWK), Cisco Systems (NASDAQ:CSCO), IBM (NYSE:IBM), and Starbucks (NASDAQ:SBUX).
