Companies paying dividends are typically established and financially stable, making their stock prices less volatile than non-dividend-paying stocks. Therefore, high-dividend stocks, Pfizer Inc.

The annual inflation rate in the United States rose for a second consecutive month to 2.7% in November 2024 from 2.6% in October, which aligns with expectations. Low base effects from last year partly influence the rise. Amid economic uncertainties, high-dividend yield stocks offer an attractive investment opportunity for investors.
