  • Five-year, 10-year, and multi-decade charts of market movements all show that stock market sell-offs happen. No one knows when they'll begin, how severe the downturn will be, or how long they'll last.

The article from MSN Money discusses five high-yield dividend stocks that are considered safe investments even in the event of a stock market sell-off in 2025. These stocks are highlighted for their stability, consistent dividend payouts, and strong fundamentals:

    Verizon Communications (VZ) - Known for its robust cash flow and a high dividend yield, Verizon is seen as a reliable telecom giant with a history of increasing dividends.
    AT&T Inc. (T) - Despite past challenges, AT&T has restructured its business, focusing on its core telecom services, which supports its high dividend yield.
    Pfizer Inc. (PFE) - With a strong pipeline of new drugs and a solid financial position, Pfizer offers a compelling yield, especially as it navigates through patent expirations with new product launches.
    Realty Income Corporation (O) - This real estate investment trust (REIT) provides monthly dividends with a track record of increasing payouts, backed by a diversified portfolio of commercial properties.
    Exxon Mobil Corporation (XOM) - As one of the largest integrated oil and gas companies, Exxon Mobil's diversified operations and strong balance sheet make it a safe bet for dividend investors, particularly with the potential for higher oil prices.
The article emphasizes that these companies have the financial strength to maintain or even increase their dividends, making them attractive options for investors looking for income stability during potential market downturns.
