3 High-Yield Dividend Stocks I'd Buy Right Now
It's getting more challenging for income-focused investors to find good stocks with decent yields in the current environment. The average dividend yield on the S&P 500 is down to around 1.3% due to the market's long rally over the past year. Meanwhile, the yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury isn't much higher.
However, a few high-yield dividend stocks still stand out as attractive buys. While the quest for higher yields can often require accepting higher risk, that's not the case for Clearway Energy (NYSE: CWEN)(NYSE: CWEN.A), Medical Properties Trust (NYSE: MPW), or W.P. Carey (NYSE: WPC). Here's why I'd buy any one of them right now.
