This market has been dominated by AI and AI-adjacent companies, and for good reason. That’s where all the opportunity has been, right? So it would only make sense.

But why aren’t investors talking about dividend stocks anymore? They’re still doing what they were made for: paying dividends. Some of them pretty big.

Unless you’re optimizing for hyper growth with nothing but tech stocks… why would you not want to balance your portfolio with some potential cash flow?

It just seems smart. Anyway, we aren’t trying to make you buy dividend stocks. But we did get some high-level new dividend stock picks from AltIndex.

So today we’ll be covering our top 3 AI-rated dividend stocks (we’ll throw in a few more at the end for the road, too).

But first, a few words on selecting dividend stocks:

Some people might be tempted to only look at a stock’s dividend yield and invest based off of that data point. A lot of smart investors think that’s a bad idea.

That’s because the yield % says nothing about the business’s actual cash flow or growth potential, which matter a lot more in the long run than dividend yield.

After all, a company with a 15% yield but 0 extra cash will pay a dividend of $0.

So, these picks from AltIndex aren’t just factoring in the yield size, but the company’s overall growth potential and cash flow as well.

Dividend Yield: 7.26%

If you want to talk about growth potential, AltIndex’s AI model has been rating Pembina Pipeline as a top 10 stock for weeks now.

Some interesting tidbits about the stock:

Here are some more dividend-earners that you can check out if you’re interested.

Dividend stocks are a key part of any balanced portfolio, like orange juice in those balanced breakfast commercials we used to see on TV before streaming services took over.

If you don’t have any stocks that are bringing in consistent cash flow through your portfolio, it could be worth considering dividend stocks like these.

These stocks are just one AI algorithm’s picks, and you should always do your own research and evaluate stocks from multiple angles.
