5 Stable Dividend Stocks to Buy as Fixed Income Vanishes

Buy stable dividend stocks that pay more than any other relatively risk-free bond in the world will. As investors grow tired of not even beating inflation by buying a 10-year Treasury note, they will inevitably pile into stocks which: 1) have much higher yields, and 2) have a history of steady and consistent dividend hikes. Without further ado, let’s take a look at five dividend stocks that fit this description...

AT&T (T) has everything investors are looking for in a stable, income-paying stock. Big yield? Check. The stock yields 6.88%. Next up, we have a utility giant that is best known for its stability and resiliency: electricity services provider American Electric Power (NYSE:AEP). AEP’s yield isn’t that big. It sits at just 3.20%. Third, we have a global chip giant that appears to be on the verge of finding its winning stride again — Qualcomm (NASDAQ:QCOM). Fourth, we have an undervalued, stable stock that is in the midst of a potentially huge breakout — retail pharmacy giant CVS (NYSE:CVS). Last, but not least, we have a blue-chip retail giant that is absolutely on fire today: Target (NYSE:TGT).
