Dividend-paying stocks are particularly beneficial amid a low interest rate environment, as these stocks offer substantial yields on a regular basis. Moreover, such stocks are historically proven to outperform in the long term and are quite reliable in terms of wealth creation.
Yield is basically a stock’s annual dividend rate divided by its share price. A dividend yield can increase if a company boosts its payout. The yield can also rise if the share price falls. In fact, an ultra-high yield due to a plunging stock price may signal that a company is in trouble and is likely to cut or even suspend the dividend.
It's very important to own safe high yielding stocks. Not a high yield is the key for a successful investing, a stable and growing yield is the conclusion.
Attached you will find five stocks that offer current and historical dividend yield of more than 3% and might pay them for the next quarters.
