When the economy gets shaky, many investors turn to reliable, dividend-paying stocks that have proven they can weather tough times and keep growing.
The S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats Index is a great place to look for these kinds of opportunities since it includes companies that have raised their dividends for at least 25 years straight. Among these, S&P Global (SPGI) and West Pharmaceutical Services (WST) stand out as strong picks.
