Is retail dead? It depends. While Amazon.com (AMZN) is indeed making life miserable for many brick-and-mortar outfits, I'd like to show you five dividend stocks in the space that could be a month or two away from getting a big shot in the arm. So say the holiday crystal balls. That brings us to Deloitte, which sees not just good things for e-commerce sales, but holiday sales as a whole. It's forecasting a 4.5% bump that outclasses 2016's 3.6% growth, with Deloitte's Rod Sides telling CNBC that "sentiment and spending indicators are firing on all cylinders." Better still, "Even the big retailers continue to pick up e-commerce share." No, retail isn't dead - you just need to pick your shots carefully. That's why I have my eyes on these five retail dividend stocks yielding up to 7.4%.

United Parcel Service (UPS) isn't a retailer, of course, but it still benefits from consumers shopping in their jammies. Home Depot (HD) is a must-buy ahead of the holiday buying season, and in fact, its attractiveness has nothing to do with the holidays. GameStop (GME) is the highest-yielding play among these five dividend stocks - and it's also the trickiest.
