AT&T, Tegna, and Pitney Bowes stand out as 'safer' dividend dogs, with prices below annual dividends from $1,000 invested, signaling attractive entry points. The top ten high-yield picks offer projected 24.3% average net gains by July 2026, with lower-than-market volatility, but some face negative free cash flow margins.
