Investment fads come and go, and growth stories eventually end. Income-producing stocks always fit into a portfolio, however, even if those dividends are being collected to purchase other sorts of positions. And, given the uncertainty that lies in our immediate future, a little more certainty and a little less risk certainly couldn't hurt.
To this end, investors looking to fill in some gaps with any idle cash right now may want to look at Colgate-Palmolive (NYSE: CL) , AbbVie (NYSE: ABBV) , and McDonald's (NYSE: MCD) . These companies are still stalwarts regardless of the pandemic and despite the current political drama. Their dividend payouts and profiles aren't too shabby, either. Let's take a closer look at these three dividend stocks.
