3 Dividend Stocks That Are Crushing the Market in 2026
These stocks are all up more than 28% this year.
Overview
The S&P 500 is up over 8% this year (as of Monday's close), which isn't bad given how hot it's been in recent years. But there is clearly a bit more apprehension in the market these days, with investors appearing to be more concerned about high valuations and a possible bubble related to artificial intelligence (AI).
Many investors have also been pivoting into safer stocks that pay dividends. Three dividend stocks that have vastly outperformed the market this year are ExxonMobil (NYSE: XOM), UnitedHealth Group (NYSE: UNH), and Texas Instruments (NASDAQ: TXN). Here's how well they've been doing, and why they can still be great buys right now.
