As we enter January 2025, global markets are experiencing a positive shift with U.S. stocks climbing higher due to easing core inflation and strong bank earnings, while European indices are buoyed by slower-than-expected inflation, raising hopes for potential interest rate cuts. Amid these dynamics, dividend stocks remain an attractive option for investors seeking steady income and potential capital appreciation in a market characterized by fluctuating economic indicators and sector performances.

While its 4.01% yield ranks in the top 25% of JP market payers, dividends are not well covered by free cash flows and have been volatile over the past decade.
