Earlier generations have favored dividend investing because generally higher yields were on offer then. Today, though, some investors have become more dedicated to high-flying growth stocks. That’s because many yields are not what they used to be. Investors have noticed. So, in many ways, it makes sense that current investors are typically geared toward these securities rather than boring, old dividend stocks. Still, the crucial thing to note here is that, at the heart of it, dividend stocks are a safe investment. This list is comprised of businesses that are worth billions of dollars and generate robust bottom- and top-line growth. Moreover, these are well-established names with strong histories of dividend growth. Even if they don’t set the markets on fire, they are exactly the kinds of companies that can be vital to your portfolio.
Before we dive deep into these names, though, it’s also important to recognize that this list is curated by dividend yield. That means that instead of looking at the highest dividend by dollar amount, the yield was given preference. This is because it offers the most efficient way to earn a return. So, without further ado, here are seven of the highest-yielding dividend stocks in the S&P 500: AT&T (NYSE:T), Kimberly-Clark (NYSE:KMB), Crown Castle International (NYSE:CCI), Pepsico (NASDAQ:PEP), Iron Mountain (NYSE:IRM), JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) and Target (NYSE:TGT).
