3 High-Yield Dividend Aristocrats You Can Buy Right Now

Are you on the hunt for a generous and reliable dividend stock? If so, the list of Dividend Aristocrats -- comprised of those few companies that have raised their payouts annually for at least 25 consecutive years -- is a fine place to start. These companies have a vested interest in holding onto their hard-won spots on that elite roster, and thanks to the pounding the market has taken recently, the yields of several have risen above the 3% level. Here's a look at three of these powerful dividend plays...

Consumer goods behemoth Procter & Gamble (NYSE:PG) is the Dividend Aristocrats' aristocrat -- it has lifted its payout at least once per year for more than six decades. In the healthcare sector, dividends don't come much bigger than AbbVie's (NYSE:ABBV) nearly 5% yield. I've saved the best payout for last: AT&T (NYSE:T), with a quarterly dividend of $0.50 per share, is currently yielding a handsome 6.6%.
