3 Dividend Stocks That Cut Bigger Checks Than AT&T

With a yield of 5.1%, telecommunications giant AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T) is pretty attractive to many investors looking for a dependable way to get a steady check. Ma Bell has also raised the dividend for 34 straight years, something dividend investors have come to love. However, AT&T is on track to see revenue fall this year, and earnings are expected to increase a paltry 3%. Expectations for 2018 aren't any better as pay TV and mobile subscriber numbers continue to decline. 

So before you buy shares of AT&T based on its high yield and history of dividend growth, our contributing investors think you should give real estate giant Welltower Inc. (NYSE: HCN), amusement park operator Cedar Fair, L.P. (NYSE: FUN), and solar power producer 8Point3 Energy Partners LP (NASDAQ: CAFD) a closer look. All three pay bigger dividends right now, while also offering a combination of dividend and stock price growth that AT&T probably can't match.
