Companies that not only tend to beat the market, but pay you as they do.
Curated by The Motley Fool
Dividend aristocrats are the model of consistency. To be a part of the club, a company must be a member of the S&P 500 index and have increased its annual dividend payment for the last 25 years. Many associate the group with income investing and dividend growth, but dividend aristocrats have beaten the broader market in total returns, notching better results over one, three, five and 10-year periods. Within this group of quality companies, our analysts like 10 in particular for investors looking for steady stable income (and some growth, too!).

Exxon will likely still be producing oil & gas in 2050: Exxon CEO
Exxon Mobil (XOM) has completed an acquisition of Pioneer Natural Resources (PXD) in one of the largest oil deals in decades. Chairman and CEO Darren Woods sits down with Yahoo Finance's Brian Sozzi and Akiko Fujita to discuss the acquisition and the future of Exxon Mobil. Woods explains that the acquisition created an opportunity "to deliver more value than what either company could do on its own." He adds that with Pioneer's technology, Exxon Mobil will be able to produce more oil at a lower cost. The CEO expects the acquisition to generate an annual $2 billion in synergies. He adds that with new technologies on the horizon and innovations in the field, Exxon will likely continue producing oil and gas in 2050.
