3 Dividend-Paying Industrial Stocks to Buy Right Now

The Motley Fool highlights three industrial leaders with strong cash flow and competitive moats to support growing dividend payouts. Stanley Black & Decker (SWK) offers a 3.5% forward dividend yield, with a quarterly dividend of $0.84 and a sustainable payout ratio of 39% of free cash flow.

Why it matters: FedEx (FDX) provides a 1.5% forward yield, has increased its dividend at a 17% annualized rate over the past five years, and pays out only 27% of its free cash flow.
