# 4 Dividend Stocks Worth Your Attention Right Now
Looking to lock in steady income streams? Here are four solid bets for long-term investors:
**UnitedHealth Group (UNH)** — Healthcare giant down 36% YTD due to DOJ probe, but fundamentals solid. Berkshire Hathaway is quietly adding shares. Dividend yield: 2.73% + 3% from buybacks = 5.75% total return. Aging U.S. population = endless demand.
**Bank of America (BAC)** — Berkshire's other major hold. Interest rate headwinds easing, but wealth management and brokerage divisions firing on all cylinders. Dividend grew from $0.20 (2015) → $1.06 (now). Current yield: 2.15%, and it's climbing.
**Lennar (LEN)** — Homebuilder betting on America's housing shortage. Lower rates = more buyers. Portfolio: 17k homes worth $6.6B backlash, 12% YoY order growth, $507M in buybacks last quarter. Dividend yield 1.7% + aggressive share repurchases = solid returns.
**Vanguard International High Dividend ETF (VYMI)** — Want international exposure? 3.9% yield with holdings like HSBC, Novartis, Nestlé. 5-year average return: 14%.
**⚠️ One to Skip: FMC** — Looks like a 17% dividend goldmine until you check the details. Stock crashed 73% YTD, company slashed dividend 92% (from $0.58 → $0.08). That yield's a trap.
