🛡️ Looking for steady income in a shaky market? Two classic defensive plays:
$KO and
$ED.
🥤
$KO (Coca-Cola)
60+ years of dividend hikes. Forward yield ~2.5%. Consumer staple with global brand power - people don’t stop buying drinks in a recession. Cash flow machine.
💡
$ED (Con Edison)
Utility serving NYC. 50+ years of dividend growth. Yield ~3%+. Regulated rates = predictable earnings. Low beta, lower drama.
Different sectors, same theme: essential products + consistent dividends.
When growth stocks get volatile, these “Dividend Kings” tend to hold the line.
Not flashy. Just reliable.
