2 Top Dividend Stocks to Buy in November
What would rather own as a dividend investor, a stock with a 5.5% yield or one with a 9.4% yield? All else being equal, you'd probably go for the higher yield. Who wouldn't? But no two companies are ever equal and when you see two yields like that, you know right away that there's something very different.
Here's why dividend investors will want to look at companies like high-yielders Realty Income (NYSE: O) and Federal Realty (NYSE: FRT) in November, using ultra-high yield Ares Capital (NASDAQ: ARCC) as an important reference point.
The first and most important thing to highlight here is that Realty Income, Federal Realty, and Ares Capital are all well-run businesses. They are all fairly well-respected, too, with each acting as something of a bellwether for the niches in which they operate. Realty Income is the largest net lease real estate investment trust (REIT). Federal Realty is a leader in the strip mall sector. Ares Capital is a bigwig in the business development company. Because of their legal structure, all three are required to pass on almost all their Income to investors through dividends.
