The 3 Highest-Yielding Dividend Kings in April

Three Dividend Kings—Altria, Universal Corporation, and Kimberly-Clark—currently offer the highest dividend yields among elite dividend stocks that have increased dividends for 50+ consecutive years. Altria yields 6.3% but faces declining cigarette demand in North America. Universal yields 6.1% as a global tobacco supplier with stronger international demand. Kimberly-Clark yields 5.2% and is pursuing a growth strategy through its acquisition of Kenvue, though this carries integration risks. All three are considered riskier investments suitable primarily for aggressive investors.
