This 7.7%-Yielding Dividend Stock Has Maintained Its Payment for 24 Quarters in a Row. Can That Streak Continue in 2025?
Dow Inc. is now the highest-yielding stock in the S&P 500.
It's been a rough period for investors in commodity chemical companies. Dow Inc. (NYSE: DOW) and its peer LyondellBasell have seen their stock prices collapse to four-year lows -- with both stocks down over 29% in the last year. The sell-off has pushed Dow's dividend yield up to a whopping 7.7% -- making it an enticing passive income play. But investors should first make sure Dow can afford its expensive payout before buying the stock.
