Others may prefer to go searching for value stocks or dividend stocks that are trading at less expensive valuations. If you're in that latter camp, consider Essential Utilities (NYSE: WTRG) , Deere (NYSE: DE) , and Owens Corning (NYSE: OC).

If you're looking for top dividend stocks to buy, you may be tempted to look at which high-yielding stocks are the safest ones to own. However, a better option may be to focus on dividend growth stocks. These are good investments to consider for a couple of reasons. The first is that these businesses prioritize dividend growth (which means your recurring income will rise), and the second is that it usually means their operations are also growing and in strong financial shape.

Collecting an above-average dividend payment can sometimes come with risks. High-yielding stocks can be due for cuts to their payouts if a company's underlying financials aren't strong enough to support its dividend payments. But that doesn't mean all high-yielding stocks are dangerous investments. Two good examples of stocks that pay more than 6% and can still be ideal long-term options for retirees are Pfizer (NYSE: PFE) and Verizon Communications (NYSE: VZ).
