That said, the current COVID-19-induced financial crisis is very different when it comes to evaluating dividend stocks. The reason is straightforward: many companies are suspending or reducing their dividend payouts. And, if companies are hanging on to their dividend payouts by borrowing money to do so, that’s a bad habit. To them, it’s ALWAYS a great time to buy dividend stocks! In exchange for that, I endeavor to keep clients from losing 20-30-40% when “dividend stocks” fall with the rest of the stock market.
