While the surging reflation trade and solid economic performance shifted investors’ focus to growth and outdoor stocks earlier this year, current market volatility has been helping dividend stocks make a strong comeback. The CBOE Volatility Index has gained 18.8% over the past month and 5% over the past five days.
Dividends paid by AT&T Inc. (T), Vale S.A. ADR (VALE), and GlaxoSmithKline plc (GSK) yield more than 5%, and these stocks possess stable financials and cash flows. So, we think they are worth buying now.
