The Art of Selecting Dividend Stocks
High-yield dividend stocks offer a tempting promise of significant returns but also carry inherent risks. The key to success lies in meticulous selection and balancing yield with stability.
In this article, we will examine three dividend stocks with higher-than-normal dividend yields.
-
Enterprise Products Partners: Stability in Energy
Enterprise Products Partners (EPD) pays an annual dividend yield of 7.68%. It is an energy sector stalwart and has a remarkable history of increasing its annual dividend distribution for 25 consecutive years.
Unique in its role as a midstream energy company, Enterprise is less susceptible to the market volatility that impacts oil and gas drillers.
Its business model, centered around the transportation and storage of energy products, along with long-term, fixed-fee contracts, ensures a consistent and predictable cash flow.
This stability not only bolsters investor confidence but also supports the company’s ongoing dividend growth, making it an attractive option for investors seeking a solid dividend yield.
-
LTC Properties: Resilience in Senior Housing
LTC Properties (LTC), a Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) specializing in senior housing, offers investors a substantial dividend yield of 7.11%.
Throughout the pandemic, LTC demonstrated remarkable resilience by strategically reworking lease agreements and diversifying its property portfolio.
The company’s adaptability and strategic decisions, combined with an aging American population, suggest a favorable long-term outlook for LTC. This makes it an attractive option for investors seeking stable and growing dividend income from the real estate sector.

Innovative Industrial Properties: Cannabis REIT with a Twist
Innovative Industrial Properties (IIPR) presents a unique investment opportunity within the volatile cannabis sector.
As a REIT that focuses on acquiring and leasing medical marijuana cultivation and processing facilities, IIP provides a compelling yield of 7.73%.
IIP’s distinct business model, which includes long-term leases and a triple net lease structure, shields it from the broader market challenges faced by the cannabis industry.
Moreover, the ongoing legal status of cannabis at the federal level ironically works in IIP’s favor, as its sale-leaseback program offers vital capital to multi-state operators, securing long-term tenants and driving revenue growth.
Diversifying for Optimal Dividend Growth
Investing in dividend stocks is not just about seeking high yields; it’s also about understanding and managing associated risks.
By diversifying across different sectors with companies like Enterprise Products Partners, LTC Properties, and Innovative Industrial Properties, investors can achieve a balance of high returns and security.
These companies, each with its unique strengths and market position, represent sound opportunities for those looking to boost their income through dividends.
In conclusion, the resilience and growth potential of these high-yield dividend stocks makes them a compelling choice for investors seeking to maximize returns while mitigating risks.
As Wall Street continues to evolve, dividend investing remains a time-tested strategy for wealth accumulation.
