33 Safe High-Yield S&P 500 Stocks

Dividend-paying stocks that have gotten left behind in the rally now feature higher dividend yields, which may be attractive to investors. 

But buyer beware: Many yields are high because some investors fear the stocks. But if you do extra research on specific companies and reach a certain comfort level, you may be looking at some bargains. 

Long-time income investors are constantly facing the problem of how to replace income lost when older and higher-yielding bonds and callable preferred stocks are redeemed. And more than eight years into the bull market, while interest rates are still historically low, the problem keeps getting worse. 

We have featured the S&P High-Yield Dividend Aristocrats, which are companies included in the S&P 1500 Composite Index that have raised dividends for at least 20 consecutive years. 

But many have yields that aren’t attractive. 

We also put together a list of dividend stocks culled with rather stringent criteria for free cash flow and sales growth. This time around, we are taking a far less stringent approach. 

A total of 33 companies among the S&P 1500 met these criteria:

• Dividend yields of at least 5%. 
• No cuts of regular dividends over the past five years
• A free cash flow yield, for the past 12 months, exceeding the current dividend yield.

These are the results...

15 REITs With FFO Yields Over Dividend Yield

FFO is meant to provide the best measurement of a REIT’s cash flow available for dividend payments. 

If you are thinking about a REIT purchase, you need to consider the company’s ability to maintain or raise its dividend, because a dividend cut could hurt the stock price terribly, and income is your main objective.

 There are 92 REITs in the S&P 1500 Composite Index and some of them still have room to grow dividend payments. Here are the 15 with the highest dividend yields that also have “headroom” to raise dividends:

16 High-Yield Dividend Growth Stocks Good Enough To Buy

There are lots of stocks on the market that pay high dividends. For example, you can easily find mortgage REITs, shipping stocks or business development companies with yields of 10% or more.

Just because a stock pays a high dividend doesn't necessarily make it a good long-term investment. But it could make sense to put small amounts of money into high yielding stocks in order to boost your dividend income.

Attached you will find a compilation of stocks with high-yields that might boost your portfolio cash income in the futre. I hope you will find some new ideas on the list. Do you like any of them or do you still own a few of the selected stocks?

Here are a few great long-term investments with yields above 5%...

12 Stocks That Might Get A Boost Indirectly From Low Energy Prices

Crude oil’s crash may have roiled stocks to start 2016, but cheap fuel is actually a great thing for the average American. Consumer confidence is heading higher, thanks to low gas prices and a continually improving job market.

In general, it should be good the US economy to have a low oil price. The states are net import of oil. The cheaper the oil price, the cheaper the energy bill of the USA.

A negative impact is expected from the oil and gas industry, especially from own energy companies like Chevron, Exxon Mobil. A hard environment has share fracker and oil equipment firms.

Also headwinds faced by banks with a big loan portfolio related to the energy sector.

Today I would like to introduce some stocks that might get some backwinds from the low oil price. It's not only the consumer. Many energy consumption stocks like manufacturer, travel stocks, airlines could also improve margins due to lower energy costs.

Here are 12 higher yielding stocks that are directly benefiting from more leisure travel. They’re all on sale at the moment, too. 

Here are the results...

8 Value Stocks With Enormous Dividend Yields

Many investors like to watch the dividend yield, which is calculated as the annual dividend income per share divided by the current share price. I do it daily and screen the market by the highest yielding and most attractive stocks. 

I also look for smaller companies and stocks that pay only a small part of its annual income. The idea behind is that growth can boost your future dividend yield.


The dividend yield measures the amount of income received in proportion to the share price. To use the ratio is an easy way to compare the relative attractiveness of various dividend-paying stocks. It tells an investor the yield he/she can expect by purchasing a stock.


Today I like to focus on value stocks with high yields. Attached are 8 ideas that pay enormous dividends while having deep values.

These are the results:
