Is Altria the Best Dividend Yield in the S&P 500?

Is Altria the Best Dividend Yield in the S&P 500?

Altria (NYSE: MO) has long been regarded as a top dividend stock and it's easy to see why. The domestic Marlboro maker has raised its quarterly dividends 57 times over the last 53 years, making it a Dividend King. Because of its payout-hiking track record, Altria was the best stock to own for a nearly 50-year period from 1968 to 2015, if you had reinvested the dividends.
