Two S&P 500 Dividend Stocks with Strong Moats and Steady Growth Potential

Two S&P 500 dividend stocks, WM and Cintas, have declined 10% and 14% from their 2025 highs. Despite the declines, their businesses remain strong with a powerful moat. Both stocks offer steady growth and market-beating potential, although they are somewhat expensive. WM pays a 1.5% dividend yield and has raised payments for 22 consecutive years, while Cintas is the No. 1 uniform rental provider in North America. Trading at 26 times forward earnings, WM stock is an excellent buy-the-dip opportunity.
