Two dividend stocks investors are buying in February

The mounting concerns over the possible artificial intelligence (AI) bubble have led the traditionally popular technology stocks to suffer significant losses in 2026, all the while making more fixed-income investments more attractive.

Indeed, the recent stock market activity demonstrates that many traders have made a pivot, helping equity in less cutting-edge sectors that, nonetheless, pay substantial dividends to enjoy strong rallies since the year started.

Under the circumstances, Finbold examined corporate performance to find the top dividend stocks investors are buying this February.

Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO)

The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE: KO) has enjoyed decades of stability thanks to producing one of the most recognizable and popular beverages in the world, thus promising steady performance to all hopeful investors.

Similarly, KO stock’s performance since 2026 started has been worthy of a Warren Buffett-favored equity since it managed, despite being a long-standing blue-chip, a 11.91% year-to-date (YTD) rally, rising to new all-time high (ATH) levels near its press time price of $77.35.

Considering the firm has averaged a gross margin of about 61% and an operating margin of 27% throughout the past 10 years, investors likely have little to fear from the upcoming February 10 earnings report, even if the elevated valuation might appear like a setup for a correction.

Similarly, even if KO stock’s impressive 2026 growth halts, Coca-Cola has a long history of increasing its already-high dividends. Indeed, the equity’s yield stands at 2.64%, meaning investors can look forward to a $0.51 payment every quarter for every single share they own.

Chevron (NYSE: CVX)

If the critical argument for Coca-Cola in February 2026 comes from stability and an exceptionally powerful brand, another company Warren Buffett has often invested in benefits from multiple political tailwinds in 2026.

Specifically, the oil giant Chevron (NYSE: CVX) managed a 16.25% rally since New Year’s Day to its press time price of $181.23 on the back of hopes of securing the long-barricaded supply from Venezuela and Syria.

Venezuela’s former vice-president and current acting president, Delcy Rodríguez, opened the legal pathway for privatizing the country’s oil industry mere weeks after the U.S. Armed Forces grabbed President Nicholas Maduro in an early January assault on Caracas.

Even more recently, Syria – now under the administration of a former al-Qaeda officer, Ahmed al-Sharaa – signed a landmark offshore oil deal with a Qatari investor and Chevron, granting the company access to the nation’s substantial reserves.

Given the recent developments, it appears likely CVX will continue its upward march in the foreseeable future, making the firm’s 3.93% annual yield – the $1.78 per share quarterly dividend payment – even more attractive.
