2 “Strong Buy” Dividend Stocks Yielding at Least 7%

Using TipRanks database, we’ve pinpointed two dividend stocks that are offering outperforming yields of 7% or better. These are Strong Buy stocks, too, with recent positive ratings from the Street’s analysts and better upside potential than is typical for high-yield dividend payers. Here are the details.


We’ll start with Blackstone Mortgage Trust (BXMT), a real estate investment trust (REIT) focuses on mortgage loan packages rather than direct real estate ownership. Blackstone originates collateral-based senior loans, targeting its investments in the North American, European, and Australian markets; the global portfolio includes 157 loans totaling $22 billion. The second stock we’re looking at is Starwood, another real estate investment trust (REIT). These companies are well known for their reliable and high dividend payments. The company’s main focus is commercial mortgages, but it also has investments in residential and infrastructure loans. Overall, Starwood reaches $17 billion in total investments.
