In a week marked by mixed performances in global markets, major U.S. stock indexes like the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite reached record highs, driven largely by growth stocks, while value-oriented sectors such as energy and utilities lagged behind. Amidst this backdrop of economic data releases and geopolitical developments, investors continue to seek stable income sources, making dividend stocks an attractive option for those looking to balance growth with reliable returns. A good dividend stock typically offers consistent payouts and potential for capital appreciation, which can be particularly appealing during periods of market volatility or uncertainty.

Cash flow coverage is solid at a 40.1% cash payout ratio. Despite growth in dividend payments over the past decade, they have been volatile and unreliable at times.
