With interest rates stuck below 1%, finding income in today's market can be difficult. Therefore it makes sense for income investors to focus on companies that have some sort of advantage over their competitors. One of these stocks has a massive portfolio of renewable energy assets, another rents office space to the most resilient companies in the most attractive markets, and another weathered the massive sell-off in March and April better than all of its peers. These stocks are the most likely to maintain their dividends or have a long track record of raising them.
NextEra Energy (NYSE:NEE) is a public utility and a Dividend Aristocrat -- a company with a long-term record of increasing dividends. NextEra operates Florida Power and Light, which is a regulated electric utility, and NextEra Energy Resources, which includes wholesale electricity trading and operates clean energy assets. AGNC Investment (NASDAQ:AGNC) is an agency mortgage real estate investment trust (REIT). Unlike most REITs, which invest in properties and rent them out, AGNC buys securities, specifically mortgage-backed securities, which are guaranteed by the U.S. government. Kilroy Realty (NYSE:KRC) is an office REIT that specializes in high-end office space in the big cities on the West Coast. While it has been fashionable to speculate that COVID-19's successful test of remote working will mean the demise of office space, that concern is probably overblown.
