8 Dividend Stocks With A 100 Year Payment History And Yields Over 3%

Over the course of time, some stocks reward their investors with a relatively smooth ride thanks to the trusty dividend.

In simple terms, a dividend is the share of profits a company pays out to its investors, usually on a quarterly basis. Some companies, however, crank out dividends at a regular clip.

Dividends are an important component of your portfolio. Most companies that pay a dividend have gone from their fast double-digit growth period into more mature stable entities.

The boards of these companies have determined what portion of earnings should be returned to the shareholders while continuing to grow the business. When market timing misses the mark and startups stall, it’s hard to go wrong with companies that share the wealth.

Attached, you can find a stock selection of the best dividend-yielding stocks over time. Those companies did pay dividends over 100 years or more. In order to get a good initial yield, I've selected only those with an inital yield of more than 3 percent.

These companies have managed to boost distributions through two world wars, the cold war, several oil price shocks and countless recessions. Their strong business models have helped them to consistently find new ways to increase sales, pass on cost increases to consumers and gain market share, that has resulted in higher profits and dividends over the past century.

Here are the stocks which paid dividends for more than 100 years without a break....

I'm not a fan of highly leveraged companies. I know the hefty disadvantages from a debt burden but sometimes there could be some advantages appear. Just remember the tax benefits you should gain or return boosts due to a higher leverage.

Also interesting was the development from ABInbev. Those shares fall like a stone during the financial crisis in 2008/2009. After the freefall, when they found their bottom, they created massive values for investors with risk appetite.

It’s not always bad to invest into companies with a high leverage. You must consider each investment isolated.

Sometimes, when the underlying business is stable, you should find a real investment opportunity.

Attached is a small list of stocks that may offer a higher risk when the rates start to rise.
