Dividend stocks are an important part of every portfolio. Those dividend payments provide a regular income that can be spent, or re-invested. Ideally, you gain through the growing value of the stock as well.
Typically, companies that pay dividends to their shareholders tend to be very stable. They are less volatile than some high-growth stocks might be (even riding out events like a global pandemic), adding balance to your portfolio.
A higher dividend yield is a good thing, and these seven dividend stocks have been picked for that very reason.
Arbor Realty Trust (NYSE:ABR) Ellington Financial (NYSE:EFC) Iron Mountain(NYSE:IRM) MFA Financial (NYSE:MFA) Oaktree Specialty Lending Corp (NASDAQ:OCSL) ONEOK (NYSE:OKE) Redwood Trust (NYSE:RWT)
While companies paying dividends are usually more reliable investments, that’s not always the case. Here’s an example of dividend stocks that should be avoided for now. But we’re not talking avoiding for this round, we’re looking at good choices. In addition to paying a dividend yield of over 4%, each of the stocks on today’s list has a solid rating in Dividend Grader, earning a “B” or higher. So you know it’s a high-quality pick.
