3 Recession-Proof Dividend Stocks You Can't Go Wrong With in July
Yahoo Finance ·
The threat of recession has hung over the market for much of 2026. A December 2025 study from J.P. Morgan put the probability of a global recession this year at 35%, before the Iran war and associated turmoil in the oil market. While fears of a recession this year have eased, they haven't vanished. The Middle East is still unsettled, and inflation and consumer prices in the U.S. are up. Now, economists are starting to discuss the likelihood of a recession in 2027. Investors would be wise to be prepared for a recession rather than react after the fact, and identify some recession-proof stocks to rely on to weather the storm -- and pay a nice dividend as well. Three excellent choices are Kroger ( KR 3.15% ) , UnitedHealth Group ( UNH 1.89% ) , and WM ( WM 0.93% ) . When a recession hits, people cut back on discretionary spending, such as fancy restaurants and trips, as people look to save money by eating at home. That's where Kroger comes in -- the grocery store chain has the second-largest market share in the U.S., with 8.6%, trailing only Walmart (21.2%).
