## Resource

In this episode of Dividend Investing with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna examine why Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) has been the standout dividend stock in July 2026, with shares up 5.2% over the past five days. They contrast JNJ's performance with laggards like Verizon (VZ) and Altria (MO), and explain why dividend growth, steady payout ratios, and defensive sector exposure matter more than high yield in the current yield curve environment. Using live data as of July 8, 2026, they also discuss why the Vanguard High Dividend Yield ETF (VYM) and Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF (SCHD) have outperformed the broader market. The episode drills into JNJ's 60-year dividend growth streak, its 2.9% yield, and why its low-beta, high-quality profile is winning as the 10-year Treasury yield holds at 4.48%. Listeners will learn one concrete takeaway: how to identify resilient dividend payers in a steep curve, using JNJ as a case study. #JohnsonAndJohnson #DividendInvesting #JNJ #DividendGrowth #VYM #SCHD #Verizon #Altria #BondYields #YieldCurve #DefensiveStocks #PortfolioManagement #July2026 #Finance #Investing #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #DividendStocks Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
