5 Dividend Stocks to Hold Forever

A giant in the world of healthcare, Johnson and Johnson operates in three segments: consumer, pharmaceutical, and medical devices and diagnostics. Founded in 1886, the Brunswick, New Jersey based company has a market capitalization of $182.34 billion, and is expected to show revenues of $65.07 billion this year, and $68.49 billion in 2012. Shares are currently trading at $66.72, toward the upper end of their 52-week range of $56.99 to $68.05. With earnings per share estimated to rise from last year’s $4.41 to this year’s estimated $4.95 to $5.26 in 2012, analysts estimates of an average 12 month target for the share price of $71.82 seem conservative. Johnson and Johnson’s McDonald’s has increased its dividend each year since paying its first cash dividend in 1976, and started paying quarterly dividends in 2008 due to the substantial increase in the value of its dividends over the last few years. It recently declared a dividend for the latest quarter $0.61 per share, making a total of $2.44 on a dividend yield of 2.80%. The coverage ratio is similar to that of Johnson and Johnson at 1.94. The shares trade at $88.56 on the day of writing, with a 52-week range of $68.59 to $89.57, and a current market capitalization of $90.05 billion. Analysts expect earnings per share to rise from this year’s $4.73 to $5.12 next year, and revenue to move ahead to $27.84 billion from $26.36billion. Since its founding in 1948, MacDonald’s has increased its size and scope to be one of today’s major world brands. It operates in 117 countries, and franchises out 26,216 of its 32,478 restaurants. With such a global brand, and customer loyalty built from an early age, we expect dividend growth to continue unabated in the future. MCD should be able to stay ahead of competition from Wendy's ( WEN ) and Yum! Brands ( YUM ). $102.87 billion at its current share price of $65.08, a little below the mid of its 52-week range of $62.05 to $71.89. Its current annual dividend of $2.06 is paid from its earnings of $3.74 per share. Yielding 3.00%, with a coverage ratio of 1.82, dividend growth, which has seen the dividend more than triple in the last ten years, is likely to carry through the next few years as analysts expect earnings to rise strongly through the next two years to $4.91 per share.
