The markets have been in a tailspin recently and for opportunistic investors, it's a great time to secure great dividend stocks at discounted prices. When dividend stocks drop in value, investors earn higher yields and get more bang for their investment bucks. Both of these investments pay more than 5% annually:
Walgreens Boots Alliance (NASDAQ:WBA) and International Business Machines (NYSE:IBM) are top dividend stocks that pay much better than the average S&P 500 yield of 2%, and they've both fallen in price this year. Here's why you might want to add these two income-generating investments to your portfolio today. Both of these stocks look to be promising buys right now. However, I'd give the edge to IBM today. Its yield matches Walgreens' payout and with remote work here to stay even once the pandemic subsides, there are some great growth opportunities ahead for IBM over the long term that make its stock the better overall buy.
