In the geopolitically uncertain times of the second half of 2025, solid dividend stocks are particularly in demand. They offer stable returns and a certain degree of security, making them attractive to investors. Analysts have identified five dividend favorites that stand out not only for their attractive dividend yields but also for their double-digit price potential.
Selection of Top Dividend Stocks
To qualify as a favorite, stocks had to exhibit a minimum dividend yield of 1.5 percent, be rated by at least ten analysts, and receive a buy recommendation from more than 51 percent. These favorites come from the ProShares S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats ETF and offer not only stable payouts but also growth potentials.
Example: AbbVie
AbbVie is a prominent example among the stocks, offering a dividend yield of about 3.5 percent and a price target potential of around 15 percent. Despite some setbacks in clinical trials, AbbVie demonstrates strength with new successes in medications, such as Qulipta for migraines.
Profitable Alternatives: Bucher Industries
Another interesting opportunity comes from the Swiss company Bucher Industries. It impresses with its stable market position, high profitability, and innovative strength in machinery and artificial intelligence (AI). Bucher Industries promises long-term increasing dividends, even in the face of economic uncertainties.
Summary of the five dividend favorites:
- Reliable current income, even in volatile markets
- Attractive price potential
- Meeting strict analyst evaluations and yield criteria
- Examples: AbbVie (Pharma), Bucher Industries (Machinery/Technology)
These stocks are particularly suitable for investors who value stable income and simultaneously want to leverage opportunities for price gains – especially against the backdrop of current geopolitical tensions.
