Investors urged to hold steady with dividend-paying stocks amid tech sector volatility

Jim Cramer and financial analysts recommend investors diversify portfolios with stable, dividend-paying stocks like consumer staples, pharmaceuticals, and waste management to protect against tech sector downturns. These 'quiet winners' continue to deliver steady returns even during market sell-offs, contrasting with volatile tech stocks heavily tied to AI and data centers. Companies like Coca-Cola, Procter & Gamble, Johnson & Johnson, and Waste Management exemplify this strategy by maintaining growth and dividends despite economic pressures. Investors are advised to assess their tech exposure and balance it with reliable, profit-generating stocks to safeguard long-term investments as market volatility rises.

As of Oct 16, 2026 20:31 WIB, stable dividend-paying stocks like Coca-Cola and Johnson & Johnson show steady gains on Pluang, with KO up 1.11% at USD 93.02 and JNJ up 0.50% at USD 254.56. These consumer staples and health sector leaders maintain dividend yields of 2.3% and 2.12% respectively, highlighting their role as reliable investments amid market volatility. Notably, Johnson & Johnson sees a strong buy interest on Pluang at 67%.
