Despite all the “market” miracles of 2017: the fall and rise of Twitter, the phenomenal growth of Ferrari, the speculative (and not only) fluctuations of Tesla and, of course, Bitcoin, investors are still looking for and more trust in companies that pay dividends. After all, as they say, “stability is a sign of mastery”. At the end of 2017, the giants of their industries had good payouts. Which, in general, is not surprising.
Based on this, the leading financial analyst of 404 Group – Dmitry Karlov-Zharsky advises to take a closer look and pay attention to investors on these shares with dividends from some of the best companies in the world.

IBM (NYSE IBM)
• Dividend yield: 4.37%
• Stock Price: $ 141.22
This company also performed a miracle last year. And he plans, judging by the momentum gained and the integration of blockchain technology into his products, an even greater breakthrough.
Coca-cola (NYSE KO)
• Dividend yield: 3.68%
• Stock Price: $ 42.68
The company of the “eternal holiday” is also not far behind, despite the fact that the year was not the best for them. Coca-Cola, as before, puts high on the interests of its investors.
McDonald`s (NYSE:? MCD)
• Dividend yield: 2.48%
• Stock Price: $ 160.62
The giant of the fast food industry is still more modest than the previous two, but also takes care of its investors quite well. After all, it was their money that helped and continues to help fight for market retention, the volume of which is clearly at risk due to the craze for healthy lifestyle and the declining popularity of “unhealthy” fast food.
Boeing (NYSE BA)
• Dividend yield: 1.90%
• Stock Price: $ 352.48
The development and launch of a new aircraft, the scandal with state orders, the “suspended” state of negotiations on the engines for the new 797 – none of this prevented the US Air General from paying dividends to his investors. Though not sky-high.
Microsoft (NASDAQ MSFT)
• Dividend yield: 1.71%
• Stock Price: $ 98.01
Yes, Microsoft pays dividends not only to “their own”! The company’s policy does not change, and stock payments go from year to year, like clockwork. One of the oldest software developers is confidently moving forward, and at the same time does not forget not only about its employees, but also about its investors.
Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL)
• Dividend yield: 1.55%
• Stock Price: $ 187.90
Jobs’s legacy has changed a lot. But not all changes were for the worse. And it was precisely the investors who rated them rather positively: the company began to pay dividends to the holders of its shares since 2012, and since then has been trying to remain “in the top” in terms of payment amounts. What she succeeds with.
At the moment, this is the “Top 6” list of shares with dividends. Excluding the oil industry, of course – says Dmitry Karlov-Zharsky.
