3 High-Yield Dividend Stocks to Buy Now
Sometimes, a high dividend yield is a sign that investors are worried about challenges to a business that puts those payouts in jeopardy. Often, the market is right, but sometimes, it's slow to respond to improving conditions.
The three companies below all have yields of 4.5% or higher, a nice income stream at a time when treasuries are yielding next to nothing. Each of these businesses have faced challenges in recent years and months that have made investors nervous about them. They're all close to turning the corner, however, and investors are starting to warm up to them, again.
Better yet, the companies themselves have all recently signaled confidence in their futures by raising their payouts, something that dividend payers are very hesitant to do unless they think they can be sustained. Long-term investors can lock in high yields now with these stocks and look forward to further dividend increases in the future.
