By investing $ 3,000 in ITW you can expect to earn about $69 in passive income in 2025 .

The best dividend-paying companies have track records for increasing payouts, solid yields, and runways for future growth.

A $ 3,000 investment in Stanley Black & Decker would earn you about $123 this year .

Target can easily afford to continue raising its payout, making it an excellent dividend stock to buy and hold through periods of volatility.
