We wanted to release what we feel like is a critical investment article and video for you and the investment community – stocks to buy after the election.  As you know, we are a dividend investor. In fact, these are three dividend stocks to buy and/or consider for your watch list, that we feel are election-proof.

Now, as you have read in our articles and watched in our YouTube videos, we love using our Dividend Diplomat Stock Screener to find undervalued dividend stocks. Further, these three dividend stocks are in three industries that will do well – REGARDLESS of what the presidential election outcome is.  The three industries of these three dividend stocks are Healthcare, Banking, and Technology.

There are reasons why these industries will stand to do well, regardless of the election results. Those reasons, by industry, are:

1.) Healthcare: Due to COVID-19 / the Global Pandemic, healthcare stands to do well. In fact, there are many pharmaceutical companies that are preparing the COVID-19 vaccine. Many of these pharmaceuticals are dividend growth stocks, some even dividend aristocrats.

2.) Banking: Similarly, after the presidential election, we will hopefully be closer to the next economic stimulus package. In fact, I am sure there will be a swift end to what/when/how much will be given out. Secondly, the stimulus package will come with an increase in deposits and emergency lending programs. This allows the banking industry to invest those deposits to earn more income. Not only that, but the banking industry earns fee income through those lending programs. These are just a few reasons why these dividend stocks in the banking industry are a place to also invest in a post-pandemic world! Here is an article excerpt below:

3.) Technology: Last, but not least, technology will do well regardless of the election outcome. In fact, they are similar to the other two industries above, as the tech industry has done even better during the pandemic era, i.e. COVID-19. Why? Due to remote work being highly popular, as well as learning from home. Therefore, companies have had to transform how their business operations, reduce paper (i.e. cloud storage), and provide capabilities for virtual work and learning. The presidential election outcome, more than likely, will not significantly alter their operations, due to the continued need.
