As global markets navigate a complex landscape marked by inflation concerns, political uncertainties, and fluctuating interest rates, investors are increasingly seeking stability in their portfolios. Amidst this backdrop, dividend stocks offer a compelling option for those looking to generate income while potentially benefiting from capital appreciation. A good dividend stock typically combines a reliable payout history with strong fundamentals, making it an attractive choice in today's unpredictable market environment.

Corporación Moctezuma's dividend is covered by earnings with a payout ratio of 63.9% and cash flows at 88%, though its dividend track record has been volatile over the past decade.

Nippon Concept's dividend yield of 3.33% is lower than the top quartile in Japan, yet its dividends have been stable and growing over the past decade. The payout ratios are sustainable, with earnings covering 41.7% and cash flows at 39.9%. Trading significantly below estimated fair value, it suggests potential undervaluation.
