By Brian Sitnamy

Amid volatile markets given flip-flopping tariff policy and earning season, investor sentiment by large extent is impacted by the uncertainty around earnings of major US companies and policy changes. It is a wise move for investors who are seeking consistent returns to add some attractive dividend stocks to their portfolios.

The following is the recommendation of dividend-paying stocks which are based on in-depth analysis of company's financials and its ability to pay dividends.

Home Depot

Home Depot (HD). is the home improvement retailer which reported mixed results for the first quarter of fiscal 2025 but reaffirmed its full-year guidance. The company expressed its intention to maintain its prices and not increase them in response to tariffs.

Home Depot declared a dividend of $2.30 per share for the first quarter of 2025, payable on June 18, 2025. At an annualized dividend of $9.20 per share, HD stock offers a dividend yield of 2.5%.

Following the Q1 FY25 results, analysts reiterated a buy rating on HD stock with a price target of $400 based on the risk/reward profile of Home Depot stock is one of the best in stock coverage.

Analysts believe that a notable inflection has begun, highlighting certain positives in Home Depot’s Q1 performance, including stabilizing traffic, improving shrink rates, and acceleration in online sales growth to 8% after staying lower than 5% since Q3 FY22.

Meanwhile, other positive signals include HD remains a benchmark retailer, investing in technology, multichannel and stores, even while current demand remains low, once the macro environment improves, Home Depot could be the “next great Consumer/Retail breakout multiple stock” like Costco in 2023 and Walmart in 2024.
