Why Costco, Verizon, Kroger, and Other Safe Dividend Stocks Are Rising
Investors' focus is shifting back to low-risk stocks.
Overview
Previously high-flying semiconductor stocks have plunged in recent days. Intensifying competition from Chinese chipmakers and mounting concerns that artificial intelligence (AI)-related spending may not produce its promised returns are prompting investors to seek shelter in more defensive businesses.
That's driving up the prices of dividend stocks like Kroger (NYSE: KR), Verizon (NYSE: VZ), and Costco Wholesale (NASDAQ: COST), all of which saw gains of roughly 2% on Tuesday.
