4 Stocks With Over 6 Percent Dividend Yield And Low Debt / Price-Earnings

On this blog, you can find many ideas about stocks with a longer dividend growth history but each Dividend King or Dividend Champion started its career with its first dividend payment 50 years ago.

Market Cap over USD 1 billion

Dividend yield is above 6 percent

At least one dividend hike in the past year
