P&G and Stryker: two dividend stocks to hold for decades

Procter & Gamble and Stryker are two dividend stocks suited to long-term holders, according to the article. Both sell products people need in any economy. P&G has raised its dividend for 70 consecutive years. In fiscal 2026, it posted net sales of about $87 billion, up 3%, and net earnings of $16.1 billion. It returned more than $15 billion to shareholders, including $10.2 billion in dividends. Organic sales and core earnings per share each grew just 1%. Stryker has raised its dividend for more than three decades. Second-quarter 2026 revenue rose 9.4% to $6.6 billion, and adjusted earnings per share climbed 17.9% to $3.69. Demand should gain from an ageing US population, though recalls, acquisition costs, and hospital spending pressures remain risks.
