3 Dividend Stocks to Consider Amid Market Opportunities
Realty Income (O 1.28%), PepsiCo (PEP 1.02%), and Medtronic (MDT -1.02%) emerge as compelling dividend plays with historically high yields, signaling potential undervaluation. Realty Income dominates the net lease REIT space, leveraging its scale and investment-grade balance sheet for accretive acquisitions and steady dividend growth—now yielding 5.6% with a 30-year annual raise streak.
PepsiCo, a Dividend King, demonstrates resilience despite macroeconomic headwinds, offering stability through its diversified snack and beverage portfolio. Medtronic's medical technology backbone provides defensive exposure, though recent performance lags.
