## Resource

Episode 97 of Dividend Investing with Fexingo. Lucas and Luna dig into why Johnson & Johnson's dividend is outperforming the broader market in early July 2026. The S&P 500 is barely up over the past five days, but JNJ has rallied 5.2 percent. They break down what's driving that move — defensive sector rotation, a rock-solid balance sheet, and a 3.4 percent yield that looks increasingly attractive as the ten-year Treasury holds at 4.48 percent. They also compare JNJ's dividend safety with other high-yield names like Verizon and Altria, using real payout ratios and earnings data. Plus, a brief touch on how dividend ETFs like VYM and SCHD have tilted toward quality this year, and what that means for income investors. If you hold dividend stocks or are thinking about adding them, this episode gives you a concrete frame for evaluating which dividends are built to last. #JohnsonAndJohnson #DividendInvesting #DefensiveStocks #YieldCurve #July2026 #PayoutRatio #VYM #SCHD #JNJ #QualityStocks #IncomeInvesting #DividendSafety #SectorRotation #Finance #Business #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #DividendGrowth Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
