AbbVie Reports Promising New Clinical Updates. Here's What It Means for the Company's Dividend.
Overview
AbbVie (NYSE: ABBV) boasts a pretty attractive dividend at more than 3%.
That's significantly higher than many other blue-chip healthcare stocks, including Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY), Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ), and Amgen (NASDAQ: AMGN), all of which yield dividends of roughly 2% or less.
Details
But dividends don't increase just because management wants them to. They rise because the business generates enough cash to support them.
