The Best Performing Dividend Stocks This Year

The last six months have been among the most volatile in Wall Street history. As markets navigate high interest rates and economic uncertainty, dividend stocks are proving to be a safe haven for investors looking for both income and growth. In 2025, some dividend companies delivered steady payouts while achieving extraordinary year-to-date returns, beating the S&P 500 by more than tenfold.

The top performing dividend stocks span a wide range of sectors. Of the 40 dividend companies with the strongest year-to-date returns, 10 are in the industrials sector, seven are in basic materials, seven are in technology, and five are in financial services. Ramaco Resources leads the pack with a 114.6% year-to-date gain, fueled by soaring coal prices and a steady dividend. AngloGold Ashanti follows close behind, benefiting from the rally in precious metals. A closer look at the data reveals the dividend stocks with the greatest gains so far this year.

To determine the dividend stocks with the greatest gains so far this year, My Investing News reviewed data on historical stock prices from Yahoo Finance. Companies with dividend payouts were ranked based on the percentage change in stock price from market close on January 1, 2025 to July 17, 2025.
