Dividing income is crucial for maintaining your lifestyle in retirement, especially given the uncertain future of Social Security benefits.

Not all dividend-paying companies offer the same potential for stable, growing income.

The most attractive dividend stocks share three key characteristics: payout ratios below 50% , dividend growth rates exceeding 6% , and capital appreciation that keeps pace with the broader market.

Lockheed Martin ( NYSE : LMT ) is a defensive play with stable returns.

Three dividend growth stocks --Lowe's, Lockheed Martin , and Target --offer investors a powerful combination of current income, long-term sustainability, and above-average dividend growth.

All three dividend payers have outperformed the benchmark S&P 500 over the prior 10-year period in terms of total returns.
