3 Dividend Stocks to Play Safe Amid Market Mayhem

The biggest advantage of dividend-paying stocks is the steady stream of income. Also, as most dividend-paying stocks belong to well-established companies that are financially sound, the price performances of these stocks usually don’t fluctuate much. The revenue-producing operations of these companies are rarely affected to a large extent because of economic, business or geopolitical reasons, making their stocks ideal for investments during market turbulences. Choosing dividend stocks that carry a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy) could ensure steady returns amid the market mayhem. The companies we picked also have a market capitalization of more than $1 billion.
