Not every stock rose last year. Consider these four -- Nike (NYSE: NKE) , MarketAxess (NASDAQ: MKTX) , Paycom Software (NYSE: PAYC) , and The Hershey Company (NYSE: HSY) -- which fell between 10% and 42% in 2023. That stands in stark contrast to the S&P 500 index's 23% rise. Despite these worrying drops, nothing changed dramatically for the worse regarding any of the four dividend growers' operations.

Shares of real estate investment trust (REIT) Realty Income (NYSE: O) have rebounded from their late 2023 nadir, but that doesn't mean there isn't a plethora of reasons to buy the stock.
