3 High-Yield Dividend Stocks to Buy and Hold Forever (Hint: AbbVie Makes the List)
Yahoo Finance ·
Maximizing dividend income isn't all about chasing high yields. A company must have a healthy, growing business to generate the profits needed to pay dividends and raise them over time. A high dividend yield can even be a red flag, a trap that ultimately costs investors more than they bargained for. Fortunately, there are some fantastic high-yield dividend stocks out there. That's especially true in healthcare. It's an evergreen industry, and an enormous one; in the United States, healthcare spending in 2025 reached $5.7 trillion. These three healthcare stocks will pay you generously to hold them, and have the stability and growth to own them for the long haul. While AbbVie ( ABBV +0.99% ) tops this list, you don't want to miss the other two. The pharmaceutical industry is a major driver of the broader healthcare sector, and AbbVie is one of its top players. The company boasts an impressive portfolio spanning immunology, oncology, neuroscience, eye care, and aesthetics. AbbVie has increased its dividend for at least 50 consecutive years, dating back to its years as part of Abbott Laboratories . This impressive feat makes the stock a Dividend King .
