All three major indexes have started the year off on the right foot. After touching bear territory last year, they're now posting gains for 2023 so far. Will the next step be a bull market? It's possible -- but it's too early to say whether the market is truly ready to fully recover and thrive.

No matter which way the market goes, the payouts of companies with decades of dividend growth behind them tend to go in one direction: up. Abbott Laboratories' (NYSE: ABT) 50-year dividend growth streak makes it one of just 43 Dividend Kings. With 113,000 employees and a presence in more than 160 countries, Abbott is among the largest healthcare companies in the world.
