Income investors are taking blows from all sides. Sure, they’ve become accustomed to paltry yields on bonds and savings products, but now stocks are making new all-time highs — meaning dividends yields are coming down. Around this time last year, the dividend yield on the S&P 500 was 2.17%. That’s not even chicken feed, but hey, it still was a good half-percentage-point better than a 10-year T-note. Cut to today, and the yield on the S&P 500 is down to 1.94%. The 10-year? Up to 2.75%.
Fortunately, plenty of individual stocks still throw off healthy dividend yields — and some are downright gushers of income — at least in this rate environment. So which stocks in the S&P 500 pay the highest dividend yields? Read on to find out: AT&T’s (T), Altria (MO), Health Care REIT (HCN), Entergy (ETR), HCP (HCP), Pepco (POM), FirstEnergy (FE), CenturyLink (CTL), Frontier Communications (FTR) and Windstream (WIN).
