Most investors don't associate the healthcare sector with dividends, but there are some pretty impressive dividend stocks to be had. Two that stand out today are Becton, Dickinson (NYSE: BDX) and Medtronic (NYSE: MDT) . Here's why these unstoppable dividend stocks could find a home in your portfolio today.
The big dividend story with Becton, Dickinson is that it has increased its dividend annually for more than 50 years, placing it on the highly elite list of Dividend Kings . Becton, Dickinson isn't really a headline player, like Eli Lilly is with its dominant GLP-1 drugs. Becton, Dickinson is more of a "pick-and-shovel" play, with a large medical-surgical business (basics like syringes) and medical device operations, among other things.
