Despite the crises there are still companies at all-time highs and good dividends. Here is a current sheet of dividend stocks (positive yield) that have marked a new 52-week high within the recent days. Despite the uncertainty at the markets, there are 52 companies at one-year highs and 22 of them pay dividends. I selected the best performing dividend stocks by a higher capitalization of more than $300 million. Fourteen stocks trading near 52-week highs remain of which two have a double-digit yield and nine are recommended to buy.
