Dividend Stocks Yielding 3% or More to Buy Right Now for Passive Income

The article highlights three dividend stocks offering yields of at least 3% and tied to everyday consumer products. Kimberly-Clark (KMB) behind Kleenex and Cottonelle created a joint venture with Suzano in July, handing majority control of its international tissue business for $1.73 billion. After the restructuring, it reported $16.4 billion in 2025 revenue (down 2.1% year over year) and about $2 billion in net income, with a roughly 4.7% yield. Hormel Foods (HRL), owner of Spam and Skippy, is said to yield north of 5%, but with a caution: dividends have recently exceeded reported earnings due to non-cash impairment charges. Mondelez (MDLZ), maker of Oreo and Ritz, is discussed in the context of managing higher cocoa costs.
