4 Favorite Ultra-High-Yield Dividend Stocks to Buy Now
Investors are particularly fond of dividend stocks, especially the ultra-high-yield variety, as they can pave the way for total return investing success. This success is measured by the combination of interest, capital gains, dividends, and distributions realized over time. Essentially, the total return on an investment or a portfolio is a blend of income and stock appreciation.
Let’s take a closer look at the concept of total return. Imagine you purchase a stock at $20 that offers a 3% dividend. If the stock price rises to $22 within a year, your total return is 13%. This is calculated by adding the 10% increase in stock price to the 3% dividend. Understanding this calculation is critical to making informed investment decisions.
At 24/7 Wall St., we consistently cover companies that pay gigantic dividends and look for those that can safely maintain the hefty payouts to shareholders. We favor some over others as we look for who manages the portfolio and their track record over an extended period. We zeroed in on four stocks we have covered for some time, and all make sense for investors seeking big passive income with a higher risk tolerance level.
Why are we covering this?
Despite the rise in interest rates over the last two years, we still see persistent “sticky” inflation on many everyday items we must purchase. Those looking to enhance their earnings with passive income can benefit from stocks that pay ultra-high-yield dividends.
