Abbvie Inc. (NYSE: ABBV) stock has fallen more than 40% from its 2018 high. The key factor has been fears about the launch of biosimilars in Europe that target its top-selling drug Humira. Recent forecasts suggest that the financial growth for Humira is stalling. However, Humira should not face biosimilar competition in the United States until 2023.
AbbVie is a "dividend aristocrat" that pays a dividend of 5.31% and trades at an enterprise-to-EBIT value of 14.6.
According to Yahoo Finance, ABBV has a one-year price target of $95.76. That figure represents upside of 23.4% from Tuesday's opening price.
Combine that upside, that dividend, and our highest VQScore, and we have a winning stock for the year ahead.
Wall Street has rightfully been bearish on telecom stocks after the sharp downturn we've seen in this space. One of the weakest performers over the last year has been AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T), whose shares recently fell below $30 for the first time in six years.
But this dividend aristocrat has presented a solid yield to accompany a lot of potential in the coming years. AT&T is set to become one of the first major players in the 5G wireless space, which will be vital to the next industrial revolution through the Internet of Things.
The company has one of the most reliable dividends in the business at 6.7%. Given that the U.S. Federal Reserve is expected to hold off on raising rates at a time that economic growth appears sluggish, we can anticipate investors will pour into reliable stocks with great cash flow. AT&T sits at the top of the list.
AT&T has a one-year price target of $34.32 per share, a figure that represents upside of 11.9% from Tuesday's opening price. But given AT&T's high VQScore, we're looking at a firm that is ready to break out over the next 12 months.
Now, here's the best dividend-paying stock to buy now...

The late 2018 oil price decline weighed heavily on exploration and production companies around the globe.
American investors tend to focus on WTI oil prices, which trade at a discount to the denser Brent crude. With Venezuela's production now facing sanctions and OPEC still looking for ways to cut output, we're looking at Brent oil prices to remain locked in the $55 to $60 per barrel range despite concerns about the global economy.
BP Plc. (NYSE: BP) is adopting artificial intelligence to increase its exploration activities while expanding investments into alternative energy systems of the future. Bringing more oil reserves onto its balance sheet will help bolster the stock price, while newer alternative projects like charging stations in China will help the company address long-term challenges and pressures from politicians looking to address climate change.
The one-year price target for BP stock sits at $48.77 per share. That represents 23.3% upside from Tuesday's opening price.
The triple threat of this upside, a 6.1% dividend, and a high VQScore suggest that we could see upwards of 40% returns if we include dividend reinvestment. BP is a stock poised to break out should oil prices find additional support.
