There are two things a company can do that are guaranteed to make investors happy. One is to make a lot of money. The other is to give a nice chunk of that money back to shareholders in the form of dividends. When a company does both of those things, its stock is likely to be quite popular.
Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), and Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) check off both boxes. These aren’t just solid dividend stocks; they’re also practically minting money.
