Stocks that have increased dividends for at least 50 years are known as dividend kings. Investors who rely on income stocks for retirement prefer companies with long dividend histories because their investment horizons are longer and the payoff is higher. This week, CNN sat down with the head of the Hennion & Walsh Asset Management, Kevin Mahn. Dividend stocks, according to him, are the best way to protect against future inflation. There will be a shift in the market’s focus from growth to value stocks, and investors will look for income-oriented stock opportunities to invest in.
Here is Insider Monkey’s list of the 10 dividend kings to buy for 2022. With a 1.11 percent dividend yield as of January 19, Dover Corporation is one of the best dividend stocks to buy for 2022.
