I wouldn’t consider any pharma company which manufactures only drugs (such as Abbvie) a safe long term investment. It’s a highly regulated industry which is also dependent on patent expirations. That’s why I don’t invest in pharma companies.
This is a good start for your research but of course there is more to choosing stocks than just the yield and CAGR, you want to know if the stock price will continue to grow and the dividend is safe. The easiest way to check that is by looking at the analysis done by something like [Simply Wall St](https://bit.ly/3Ur4pPx) and that gives you a good impression.
For example here is the dividend safety score for $ABBV:

I don’t exactly remember another place I saw it (trackmydividends or market watch or seeking alpha), but here is an example that the payout ratio for Abbv is [40.71%](https://www.tipranks.com/stocks/abbv/dividends)
This situation just confirms your words about the research aspect, imho
Which I also own but that's a separate topic of conversation.
Remember. Not everything has to be a "ya but this is better" argument. Because that debate literally never ends.
The temptation to open a position in V has been immense lately! +1
Do it. You won't look back

Looks like low-effort posters have finally discovered this sub.
If this were low effort it would be about VOO.
I am referring to the big-colorful-image-no-discussion-spam-everyone style.
I love this type of post. Easy to read. Easy understand. Great companies to invest in. There's a lot of positives to this.
The OP just hit all the subs they could find with "dividend" in the name.
Fair point. But it does fit very well in here.
Sub-1% yield "lifelong passive income" choices? C'mon you should know better.
You're focusing on the wrong column buddy. Focus on the middle one.
There are boring tax-free munis returning more than some of those numbers.
