5 Dividend Aristocrats That Might be a Great Addition to Your Portfolio

Consistent dividend paying companies, known as Dividend Aristocrats, are relatively uncommon and typically have stable businesses.

They often produce recession-proof goods, enabling them to continue making profits and paying dividends even when other companies struggle.

They’ve proven themselves to pay dividend irrespective of market conditions, even during bearish markets.
