3 High-Yield Dividend Stocks Paying 5% or More That Are Worth Buying Now
Yahoo Finance ·
Many investors often associate high-yield dividend stocks with high risk. This concern makes sense, given how many high yielders end up turning into "yield traps," where a company cuts or suspends dividends, and/or the dividend stays as is, but a drop in the stock price more than counters the steady cash returns. However, among stocks in this category, a few stand out for their track record of dividend growth. These include Altria Group ( MO +0.28% ) , Realty Income ( O +0.22% ) , and Pfizer ( PFE 0.33% ) . Alongside high yields, each of these blue chip dividend stocks has the potential to generate steady gains in the years ahead, producing strong total returns. Altria Group, parent company of Philip Morris USA, may not seem like a great candidate for long-term dividend growth. Yes, it's a Dividend King -- a stock with 50 or more consecutive years of annual dividend increases. Altria has raised its payouts for 57 consecutive years.
