AGN - AbbVie: 5.5% Yield And Recent 10% Dividend Increase
Allergan plc
By Bob Ciura
Stocks with higher yields are among our favorite stocks because they allow investors to compound their dividend income at a much higher rate. But there has to be more than just a generous dividend to warrant an investment. If business fundamentals are deteriorating or the dividend is at risk, investors should avoid those stocks.
Pharmaceutical giant AbbVie Inc. (ABBV) has struggled in recent years, mostly due to concerns over declining revenue for Humira. The stock price has declined 4.5% year-to-date while the S&P 500 has returned more than 23%.
