There are few businesses in the United States that are as shrewdly managed as Wal-Mart (WMT -1.75%) and Wells Fargo (WFC -0.26%). But while both have proved to be long-term winners in terms of total shareholder returns, the dynamics of their quarterly dividends are far from identical.
I address this matter in the following slideshow, which compares how shares of Wal-Mart and Wells Fargo perform based on the three most important dividend metrics: dividend yield, growth, and the payout ratio. These are both excellent stocks, but as you'll see, one is a clear winner over the other when it comes to dividends.
To learn more about these metrics, and to see how Wal-Mart and Wells Fargo stack up with respect to them, simply scroll through the brief slideshow.
