The Best Consumer Dividend Stocks

Consumer Goods Dividend Stocks With High Return On Investments And Big Operating Margins Researched By Dividend Yield - Stock, Capital, Investment. Consumer goods stocks are of low volatility. Consumers rarely change their behavior in terms of preferred brands when the economy is getting worse. That’s why many consumer goods companies are so stable. They grow with their population/ customer base and could pay stable dividends.

I screened the consumer goods sector by stocks with an operating margin and return on investment over 15 percent. In addition, the stock should have a minimum dividend yield of two percent. Fifteen companies fulfilled these criteria of which two are high yields.
