4 Industry Leaders With Ultra-High Dividends
With long-term bond yields at historically low levels, conservative investors may be looking to high-dividend stocks in order to get the returns they seek. Investors that love their dividends need to be wary though because a dividend that's too high could be a potential sign of a stock in danger. However, after the recent market volatility, some opportunities have arisen, even in relatively safe, name-brand market leaders that have stood the test of time.
Though strong brands can occasionally fall on hard times (General Electric or Kraft Heinz are the latest examples), time-tested, market-leading brands usually have a better shot of making their payouts. For those looking for high dividends in a low-interest world, here are four market leaders that not only are household names but also sport dividend yields north of 4% and look to be safe bets to make good on those payments long term.
