Investors seeking stability amidst global market volatility are increasingly turning to dividend stocks. The top 10 dividend stocks globally, as of July 2025, include Wuliangye Yibin Ltd, Soliton Systems K.K, and NCD, with yields ranging from 3.93% to 5.19%. Qingdao Baheal Medical and Otec Corporation also offer dividend yields of 3% and 3.3%, respectively. These stocks provide regular payouts that can act as a buffer against market volatility.

In July 2025, the top-performing dividend payers in the US, as tracked by the Morningstar Dividend Leaders Index, included Invesco (IVZ), AES (AES), and Travel + Leisure (TNL). These stocks offer forward dividend yields ranging from 3.24% to 5.32% and have shown consistent dividend growth over the past five years [1].

The Morningstar Dividend Leaders Index, which tracks the 100 highest-yielding dividend stocks, gained 0.92% in the past month and 8.72% over the past 12 months. This index offers a diversified portfolio of dividend-paying stocks that can provide investors with a steady income stream and potential capital appreciation [1].

In contrast to the US, emerging markets (EMs) are also gaining attention from investors. Despite recent volatility, EMs are experiencing a convergence in perceptions of risk. EMs benefit from low debt-to-GDP ratios and an improved reputation for fiscal discipline. For instance, 14 EM sovereigns received upgrades in 2024, the most positive year for net upgrades since 2011 [2]. Additionally, EM economies have been outgrowing developed economies over the last few decades, with growth levels expected to continue [2].

Investors should consider the unique risks and opportunities presented by EMs. While EMs offer attractive growth prospects, they also face country-specific risks. Diversification across the EM universe can help mitigate these risks [2].

In conclusion, dividend stocks and emerging markets offer attractive income opportunities for investors seeking stability in volatile markets. Investors should consider the unique risks and opportunities of each asset class and diversify their portfolios accordingly.
