6% yield), CDW (1. 9% yield), JPM (1. 8% yield), CNXN (0. 9% yield) pay a dividend. PTRN, PRCH, NSIT do not pay a meaningful dividend and should not be held primarily for income.

For long-horizon retirement investors, The Coca-Cola Company (KO) is the stronger choice — it scores higher on the combination of lower volatility, dividend reliability, and long-term compounding (low volatility (β -0.

23), 2. 6% yield, +115. 0% 10Y return). Porch Group, Inc. (PRCH) carries a higher beta of 1. 94 — meaning larger drawdowns in market downturns, which matters significantly when you cannot wait years for a recovery. Both have compounded well over 10 years (KO: +115. 0%, PRCH: +25. 0%), confirming both are viable long-term holds — but the lower-volatility option typically results in less emotional selling during corrections. Retirement portfolios generally favour predictability over maximum returns. Consult a financial advisor before making allocation decisions.
