Best Dividend Stocks From The Business Services Industry

Nearly 100 companies are related to the business sector, of which only 30 pay dividends to shareholders. The total capitalization of the sector amounts to $7.25 trillion. The average dividend yield within the sector amounts to 25.4 and the yield reaches 1.1 percent.

I like the industry because of its high profit margins, which corresponds at 10.20 percent one of the highest values in any sector. The most well known stocks are Visa (V), MasterCard (MA) and Moody’s (MCO). Business service is often financial networked.
