Dividend stocks are stocks that distribute a portion of their earnings to investors in the form of dividends. They are ideal for investors who want to hold stocks for the long term and receive regular dividends, whether or not they benefit from share price appreciation.
With U.S. stock indexes near all-time highs after massive rebounds from the March 2020 lows, you may be nervous about a crash or bear market ahead. UK markets have not rebounded as strongly, but there are good companies paying large dividends (and/or regularly) that could generate decent returns no matter what happens to stocks from June onwards.
