No one knows what the stock market will do in 2026. We do know the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) is coming off three consecutive years of above-average returns, with a 78.3% gain from the start of 2023 to the end of 2025. By comparison, the consumer staples sector gained less than 5% in that three-year period.
Contrarian investors or folks whose main financial objectives are capital preservation and passive income may want to take a closer look at beaten-down consumer staples stocks . Especially high-yield Dividend Kings -- which are companies that have raised their dividends for at least 50 consecutive years.
By investing $13,000 into Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG) and $13,000 into Kimberly Clark (NASDAQ: KMB) , you can expect to earn more than $1,000 in passive income per year and likely more in the future if both companies continue boosting their payouts. Here's what makes these two Dividend Kings top buys in 2026.
