3 Dividend Aristocrat Stocks to Buy That Can Beat the Market

If you go to the S&P Dow Jones Indices website, you’ll see 16 different indexes based on the Dividend Aristocrats theme. However, not all indexes have as strict criteria for inclusion as the original, so you’ll want to confirm this before seeking out an ETF to gain broad exposure to one or more of them. However, because I’m selecting three Dividend Aristocrat stocks to buy, I will grab one name from the original, plus the S&P MidCap 400 Dividend Aristocrats and the S&P Global Dividend Aristocrats Quality Income Index.

These three Dividend Aristocrat stocks will always pay you to wait for the capital gains: PepsiCo (PEP): Frito-Lay drives this bus. Evercore (EVR): Investment banking’s down — but not out. Universal Corp. (UVV): It has a plant-based ingredients business that has the potential to thrive.
