High-yield dividend stocks sometimes exists because of a deterioration in the fundamentals of a company that puts downward pressure on the stock price, but sometimes such instances of overly negative pressure offer up an opportunity where the underlying business can be purchased at a lower price. More importantly for those seeking income, in addition to a lower price and thus higher margin of safety, these opportunities are accompanied by a hefty yield. And they can be found across industries. Below are dividend stocks from retail, healthcare and oil & gas.
Bricks-and-mortar retailer Macy’s Inc. (M) may just be the most contrarian pick in my portfolio, but after being beaten down this year -- Macy’s stock is down 33% YTD -- it is now a compelling opportunity for value investors. GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) -- and the entire healthcare sector, in general -- was having a pretty good year through early June. BP (BP) provides a sizable yield and option value on an increase in oil prices. If the swings in commodity prices are too much to stomach, exposure via a well-run, strategic company like BP is a good choice.
