Healthcare and staples
Often anchor steadier dividend-growth portfolios because cash flows can be more resilient.
United States dividend sectors
The U.S. dividend market is broad enough to combine healthcare, consumer staples, energy, industrials, banks, utilities, telecom, and REITs inside one portfolio design.
Energy
Can add yield, but income can become more cyclical when commodity prices swing.
REITs and utilities
Useful for income-heavy allocations, though rate sensitivity matters.
