3 Top Stocks With High Dividend Yields
If you're looking for some high-yielding dividend stocks, you're in luck. There are still many deals available, especially as tumbling share prices this year have sent yields up. While there are many high-risk investments out there that are offering unsustainable payouts, below are three stocks that provide attractive dividend payments and that are also safe, long-term buys.
Healthpeak Properties (NYSE: PEAK) is a real estate investment trust (REIT), and so it has to pay at least 90% of its income out as dividends. That means as long as Healthpeak's producing a profit, investors can expect a dividend. And with the company's focus on healthcare, it's one of the safer REITs that investors can invest in today. In its first-quarter results, which it released on May 5, Healthpeak's financials still looked strong for the period ending March 31.
Revenue of $585.2 million was up 34% from the prior-year period and the company's funds from operations (FFO) came in at $0.45 per share, up from $0.44 a year ago. FFO is what investors normally look at when evaluating a REIT as it more accurately reflects its performance than net income normally would.
