Most stocks that pay dividends offer a lower yield than you can receive risk-free from a good savings account, but these three offer eye-popping yields at double-digit percentages. Of course, those high yields won't help you retire comfortably if the companies have to slash their payouts. These three high-yield stocks stand out because there's a decent chance that they can continue along without reducing their payouts.
Ares Capital (ARCC -0.06%) is the largest business development company (BDC) by market cap. At the moment, its stock offers a juicy 10.9% dividend yield. PennantPark Floating Rate Capital (PFLT 0.57%) is another BDC with an eye-popping dividend. At recent prices, it offers an 11.6% yield and the convenience of monthly payouts. As its name implies, Medical Properties Trust (MPW 1.70%) is a real estate investment trust (REIT). Like BDCs, REITs pay out at least 90% of profits as dividends to avoid paying federal income taxes. At the moment, this REIT offers a mind-blowing 15.2% yield.
