3 reliable UK dividend stocks that investors own for passive income
The London Stock Exchange is filled with top-notch dividend stocks. And among British investors, three of the most popular with a reputation for reliability are British American Tobacco (LSE:BATS), Diageo (LSE:DGE), and National Grid (LSE:NG.). This reputation's well-founded. Excluding a few hiccups, all three companies have been hiking shareholder payouts for decades. Needless to say, stability and predictability are exactly what income investors like to see. So does that mean investors should rush to buy these businesses in 2025? Let's take a closer look. Operating a tobacco business in 2025 isn't easy. Increased health awareness paired with a regulatory clampdown is making life pretty difficult. Yet the addictive nature of cigarettes and other tobacco-based products has enabled price hikes to offset the decline in volumes. As such, earnings and dividends have kept flowing despite investor pessimism. Management knows that pricing power has its limits. Subsequently, it's begun diversifying its product portfolio into new, healthier categories like vapes, heated tobacco, and oral nicotine. It's still early days for many of these new offerings but, so far, growth appears to be off to a good start. The question is, can British American Tobacco transition its customers at a faster rate than declining tobacco sales? In some ways, Diageo's in a similar position as British American Tobacco. Global drinking levels are falling, resulting in lower sales volumes. And the headaches have only increased since US tariffs were thrown into the mix, which management anticipates to take a $150m hit in higher costs as a result. Weaker sentiment's driven the share price back down to 2016 levels despite cash flows remaining solid enough to maintain and expand dividends. Today, the business seems to be at a crossroads. Leadership has outlined its new strategy to focus on higher margin opportunities, allowing for continued growth even at lower volumes. But ultimately, time will tell whether this tactic will work out. Last year, National Grid decided to cut its dividend for the first time in decades, which spooked a lot of investors. But in retrospect, this decision appears to have been prudent. The British energy titan is in the middle of executing a pretty massive investment plan to modernise the UK's electrical infrastructure – a decision that already seems to be bearing fruit. In its latest results, pre-tax profits shot up by 20% to £3.65bn, offsetting a slight decline in revenue as the business reorganises and disposes of underperforming assets. With a record £9.8bn invested in its 2025 fiscal year (ending in March) and even more upcoming capital deployments, the company appears to be hitting key milestones in its overhaul. Nevertheless, with plans to invest £60bn by March 2029, it's still very early days. All three of these dividend stocks have alluring prospects. But each is also navigating through its own set of unique challenges. And just because a stock has been a reliable dividend payer in the past doesn't mean it will continue to be in the future. Personally, Diageo shows the most promise, in my opinion, and is worthy of a closer inspection. But it's up to investors to determine whether the potential return is worth the risk.
