Growth stocks were all the rage in the mid-20th century because they offered more potential for capital appreciation. In recent years, however, dividend stocks have witnessed a renewed interest as investors have become more focused on income generation and risk management. Dividend stocks can provide some stability and downside protection in times of market volatility. Companies in the S&P 500 distributed a record $565 billion in dividend payments in 2022, a year that was one of the most challenging periods for the stock market.
Analysts gave a positive stance about dividend growth this year as well. However, recent events surrounding Silicon Valley Bank (SVB) collapse have cast doubts on the performance of dividend stocks in 2023. Howard Silverblatt, a senior index analyst at S&P Dow Jones Indices, previously estimated dividends to grow by 6% to 7.5% this year. The analyst now anticipates a modest dividend growth of about 5%, which would still result in record payouts but is less than what he projected earlier this year. The bank turmoil has affected future spending for both consumers and companies, which may hinder dividend growth as well. Last month’s performance of the market also shows the impact of the bank’s failure on dividend payments. From March 8 through April 18, the S&P 500 gained 4% on the banks of tech companies that pay less in dividends, as reported by Barron’s. Nevertheless, dividend stocks that have raised their payouts over time are still delivering stable returns. The S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrat Index, which tracks the performance of companies with dividend growth tracks of 25 years or more, is up 2.05% year-to-date and gained 8.69% in the last six months.
Investors are still loading up on dividend stocks this year due to high inflation and fluctuating market conditions. Dividend-focused exchange-traded funds are especially gaining fame among investors because of their long-term growth potential, diversification, and professional management. According to a report by Wall Street Journal, there are currently 180 US dividend ETFs, with total assets worth over $384 billion. As of April 14, investors have poured over $2.8 billion into ETFs that purchase dividend-paying stocks. The report also highlighted that dividends are a good inflation hedge as S&P 500 dividend growth has outpaced inflation from 2000 through March 2023.
Some of the best dividend stocks that have grabbed investors' attention include McDonald’s Corporation (NYSE:MCD), Hormel Foods Corporation (NYSE:HRL), and Roper Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:ROP). In this article, we will discuss 15 best dividend stocks to buy and hold.

“New positions initiated in Q4 included shorts International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE:IBM), Acushnet Holdings (GOLF) and elf Beauty (ELF). Since diversified information technology company IBM’s 2019 acquisition of Red Hat, the company has aggressively pursued a hybrid cloud strategy. Though IBM and its new management team have made solid progress on this pivot, we believe the company still meaningfully lags the cloud hyperscalers and other cloud-native companies.
