Dividend stocks are essentially businesses that regularly distribute their earnings to shareholders through dividends, and they have a proven track record of doing so. These dividends offer investors a dependable source of income, somewhat like the interest accrued when you keep your money invested for an extended period.

In times of increasing inflation, allocating your investments to dividend-paying stocks, particularly those with strong dividend growth, can act as a protective measure to counter its effects. Dividend stocks are generally seen as stable and trustworthy companies, which tend to experience lower market fluctuations and are less prone to sudden and drastic price changes.
