2026-02-06 15:35:00 ET
With healthcare's status as a recession-resistant industry, healthcare stocks can be a great place for dividend investors to find companies paying out steady, consistent dividends. However, it's not as if you can just buy only high-yield dividend stocks and call it a day.
In this space, there are plenty of potential yield traps and value traps. Such stocks, already beaten down by negative news and sentiment, are at risk of further declines, not to mention dividend cuts and suspensions.
Among U.S.-listed healthcare stocks with market caps of at least $200 million, the three highest-yielding are Perrigo (NYSE: PRGO) , Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) , and Embecta (NASDAQ: EMBC) . Let's take a look at each and decide whether they make great choices for dividend investors.
