Best Dividend Stocks To Follow Today - April 30th

Key Points

• MarketBeat flagged ProShares UltraPro Short QQQ (SQQQ), Altria Group (MO), and AbbVie (ABBV) as the top dividend stocks to watch today based on the highest recent dollar trading volume, though dividend payments are not guaranteed and can be reduced or eliminated.
• SQQQ is a leveraged exchange-traded fund that seeks daily results equal to three times the inverse of the NASDAQ-100, making it a high-risk, short-term bearish tool rather than a typical long-term dividend holding.
• Altria is a major tobacco company (Marlboro, on!, Black & Mild) and AbbVie is a large pharmaceutical firm (Humira, Skyrizi, Rinvoq), both traditional dividend payers that income investors commonly follow but which carry industry-specific risks.
