As of October 2026, U.S. Treasury bills yield between 3.98% and 4.44% depending on maturity, surpassing Johnson & Johnson's 2.05% dividend yield. Treasury bills guarantee fixed returns until maturity but carry reinvestment and inflation risks, while J&J's dividend can grow but may be cut by the board. Tax treatment varies: Treasury interest is exempt from state taxes but taxed as ordinary income federally, whereas J&J dividends benefit from lower federal capital gains rates but are subject to state taxes. Retirees may prefer Treasury bills for short-term, stable income especially in high-tax states, while dividend stocks suit those seeking income growth and can tolerate price fluctuations. Many balance both for certainty and growth in retirement portfolios.
