The Dow Jones Industrial Average's highest yielding dividend stocks as of December, 2024 are: Verizon, Chevron, and Amgen. Although stocks included in the Dow Jones 30 are considered to be leading indicators of American industry, no stock's position is permanent. Such icons as General Motors, Exxon-Mobil, and General Electric have all been dropped over the past decade, indicating that the index is not static and investors should remain vigilant.
A high dividend is only one of several factors one should consider before deciding on whether or not to invest in a stock, even if it is a Dow 30 member. Assessing a company’s fundamentals alongside its dividend yield should be a priority for investors, as focusing solely on dividend yield can lead to overlooking potential risks or changes in the company's performance.
