Well-chosen dividend stocks can provide you with a reliable and steadily growing source of income -- one that could help to fund your living expenses in retirement. The key is to find companies with strong competitive advantages and a commitment to growing their cash payouts to shareholders -- companies like the ones below...
By several measures, Verizon Communications (NYSE:VZ) has built the best wireless network in the U.S. It's an industry where scale matters, and the more than $125 billion that the telecom titan has invested in its network since 2000 places it in a powerful competitive position. ExxonMobil (NYSE:XOM) is another dividend stock that can help to fund your retirement. The oil and natural gas giant has increased its cash payout by an average annual rate of 6.2% over the last 37 years. Its shares currently yield a sizable 5.1%. Like ExxonMobil, investors have questioned Coca-Cola's (NYSE:KO) long-term viability in a world in which consumers are moving away from sugary drinks. But Coca-Cola is far more than a soda company, and many investors are underestimating its growth potential.

Equities have several advantages as sources of income. First, they often come with higher upfront yields. Second, they often boost their payouts over time, which serve as nice cost-of-living adjustments for retirees. Of course, higher yields come with higher risk. But for those who understand the potential downsides, high-yield stocks can be a compelling alternative to fixed-income investments. To help get you started, I’ve highlighted three of my favorite high-yield dividend stocks right now.
Over the past few years, Kimbell Royalty Partners LP (NYSE:KRP) has quietly bought up thousands of lucrative mineral rights across the country. Management has tripled the partnership’s holdings since its stock market debut in 2017. Now Kimbell collects royalties from the production of more than 92,000 wells nationwide. Altria Group Inc (NYSE:MO) is a textbook example. Cigarettes cost a penny to make and they’re sold for about a dollar each. And they’re addictive. Last year, the company generated $0.40 in profit on every dollar that shareholders invested in the business. Medical Properties Trust, Inc. (NYSE:MPW) sees a big opportunity. Over the past few years, management has quietly accumulated a portfolio of clinics, hospitals, and medical offices. With healthcare spending growing each year, these properties have become veritable cash machines.

We’ve seen a little volatility in some of the stocks we cover. New opportunities are finally showing up in some of the good dividend growers. That’s great, because it was a little rough lately to find a decent bargain. No surprise - the market remains quite expensive by most metrics.
We’re holding a fairly large allocation cash and have a significant position in preferred shares. However, we’ve also been researching common shares. Today, we’re going to talk about CyrusOne (CONE), Digital Realty (DLR.PK), and EPR Properties (EPR). We’re bullish on CONE and DLR, but staying neutral on EPR.

With the U.S. markets near their all-time high, trade and geopolitical uncertainties have added to investors' concerns of a sell-off. While you cannot control what happens in China or Iran, you can surely prepare yourself for any scenario with sound investments. A stable dividend income becomes more attractive in such periods of heightened uncertainty.
On the other hand, if the markets continue to shrug off uncertainties, as is the case currently, the undervalued and beaten-down energy sector looks set to make a comeback. So, in addition to attractive yield returns, these three companies, Kinder Morgan (NYSE:KMI), ONEOK (NYSE:OKE), and Enterprise Products Partners (NYSE:EPD), also offer impressive total return potential.

It’s really not easy to find value in today’s stock market. With indices at record highs — and seemingly setting records over and over again — the biggest challenge for investors today is looking for solid value. On the other hand, it’s almost too easy to get run over by big-name stocks with incredibly overpriced valuations. Here are three large-capitalization dividend stocks that are steals in today’s overvalued stock market. They are well-positioned for positive returns in 2020, but also big enough to withstand any downturn that Mr. Market might throw our way...
The largest bank in the United States by assets, JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) kicked off the new year with a mammoth earnings report that far exceeded analysts’ estimates. Granted, share of Toyota (NYSE:TM) are trading near the top of their 52-week range. And granted, big carmakers are starting to see some slower sales and weakness in the market. But that doesn’t mean that TM stock is a dog. Not by any means. Although it’s one of the top six oil “supermajors” in the world, Paris-based Total (NYSE:TOT) doesn’t get the attention that you may see from Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM), Chevron (NYSE:CVX) or BP (NYSE:BP). But that’s just fine if you’re looking to make a little money, and TOT stock is a great place to do it.
