The Average Dividend Yield is 1%. Want More Income? These 3 Stocks Offer Yields of Up 5.9%
The S&P 500 index has little to offer dividend investors, but these three stocks have high yields backed by reliably growing dividends.
Overview
It is a difficult time to find attractive stocks if you are a dividend investor. The S&P 500 index (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) is trading near all-time highs and offering a historically tiny dividend yield of roughly 1%. That's simply too low a number to be interesting.
Don't fear, if you do a little digging, you can still find attractive high-yield stocks. Three strong investment candidates today are Enterprise Products Partners (NYSE: EPD), Realty Income (NYSE: O), and PepsiCo (NASDAQ: PEP). Here's why these high-yielders, with yields of up to 5.9%, should be on your radar today.
