Dividend stocks are regaining appeal as interest rates fall, offering higher returns and lower risk compared to non-dividend payers over the long term. Top Kiplinger dividend 'dogs' are projected to deliver 9-20% net gains by July 2026, with average risk 40% below the market. Many high-yield favorites are not 'safer' due to negative free cash flow, so investors should seek price pullbacks or focus on cash-rich, fair-priced stocks.
Air Products and Chemicals (APD) doesn't possess the right combination of the two key ingredients for a likely earnings beat in its upcoming report. Get prepared with the key expectations.
