Teva Pharmaceuticals (TEVA 1.01%) is the world's largest manufacturer of generic drugs. The company pays a solid dividend and has been a strong performer over the past decade thanks to growing demand for low-cost medicine.

In the following slideshow, you'll learn more about Teva's patent risk, risk to its profitability, and how Teva compares to big drug makers like Merck and Pfizer when it comes to its dividend payout.
