Tuesday's Featured Article 3 Dividend Stocks to Hold Through Market Volatility This FallWritten by Chris Markoch. Published 9/16/2025. 
Key Points - Dividend stocks like KO, JNJ, and PLD offer stability as markets stay volatile.
- Coca-Cola and Johnson & Johnson are Dividend Kings with decades of payout growth.
- Prologis combines a strong dividend with exposure to logistics and real estate recovery.
Stocks are rallying on expectations that the Federal Reserve will cut interest rates by 25 basis points in September, which should bode well for corporate earnings. Still, volatility may persist. Lower interest rates could stoke inflation, and an accommodative Fed policy is likely to keep rates above its 2% target. At the same time, rising geopolitical tensions are driving central banks into gold, while speculative investors buy Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies. Barron's is calling this Oracle's "Nvidia Moment..."
While the Wall Street Journal is simply calling Oracle the "New Nvidia."
But is Oracle really the #1 AI stock you should buy today? Click here for the name and ticker. In this environment, income-oriented dividend stocks look especially attractive. Many of these companies have defensive qualities, delivering stable revenue and earnings regardless of economic swings. Coca-Cola: Buffett's Dividend Favorite Keeps Delivering A hallmark of a high-quality dividend stock is its ability to provide both income and growth, no matter the market backdrop. The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE: KO) is up 6.37% so far this year. That trails the S&P 500's 13% gain, but doesn't reflect Coca-Cola's 3.03% dividend yield. At a time when many consumer staples companies are struggling, Coca-Cola continues to expand revenue and earnings. Its push beyond soft drinks into sports drinks, teas and enhanced water has diversified the portfolio. Lower interest rates should help the company maintain—or even raise—its full-year guidance, according to analysts. The consensus price target for KO stock sits above $76.93, surpassing its 52-week average. On Sept. 11, Peter Grom of UBS gave KO an $80 price target—down from $84, yet still nearly 5% above the consensus. Johnson & Johnson: A Leaner, Stronger Dividend King For much of the past five years, Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ) was weighed down by litigation over its talc products and ovarian-cancer claims—even after spinning off its consumer division, Kenvue. Now, the remaining JNJ is leaner and more efficient, focused on pharmaceuticals and MedTech. Its drug pipeline emphasizes oncology and immunotherapy, while the MedTech unit drives growth through strategic acquisitions. As investors rotated out of tech, JNJ has climbed about 22% this year. Trading at roughly 16x forward earnings, the stock sits at a discount to its historical average. That performance comes atop a 2.93% dividend yield. Like Coca-Cola, JNJ is a dividend king, having raised its payout for 64 consecutive years. Prologis: A REIT Positioned for Growth and Stability Many hope that rate cuts will thaw the housing market, but further easing—perhaps 25-50 basis points—may be needed. Investors looking to anticipate that recovery could consider Prologis Inc. (NYSE: PLD). Prologis is the world's largest industrial real estate investment trust (REIT), specializing in logistics and warehouse properties. As consumer sentiment rebounds, occupancy rates should remain strong. The company is also pivoting into high-growth areas—sustainable energy and storage, data centers and operational logistics support. While REITs can be interest-rate sensitive, Prologis' long-term leases and robust tenant demand deliver predictable cash flow. The stock carries a 3.54% dividend yield, outpacing many equities, and trades at about 19x earnings—below its historical average.
