When looking for dividend stocks, it’s common to find yourself in lazy corners of the market, betting on blue chips with steady payouts but little room for upside. Utilities like Verizon (VZ) and AT&T (T) come to mind, along with names like Consolidated Edison (ED) or McDonald’s (MCD). Still, every investor dreams of buying dividend stocks that can offer a little bit of everything — namely, big income and sweet share appreciation. But that combo is difficult to find, especially considering that dividend stocks’ yields naturally dwindle as their prices rise.
But that’s doesn’t mean these companies don’t exist — a handful of dividend stocks have put on a stellar performance so far this year but still offer eye-popping yields. Thing is, these stocks could ride that hot momentum into the fall … or their gains could be in the rear-view. But if the latter’s the case, that’s where these big dividends come in. With yields north of 5% right now, you can afford for these dividend stocks to tread a little water until the needle heads back north. Let’s take a look at big-time gainers offering big-time dividends: Summit Midstream Partners LP (SMLP), Giant Interactive Group (GA), NutriSystem (NTRI), RR Donnelley & Sons (RRD) and BGC Partners (BGCP).
