It has raised its quarterly dividend payment from $0.05 pre-pandemic to $0.25 currently/ In fact, the company has also paid its shareholders twice a $1 special dividend in 2021. However, it still needs to prove that it is worth investing in a normal economic environment devoid of the pattern changes caused by the pandemic.

3. Hibbett Sports
