The strongest group of this recent market rally are dividend stocks. The reason why is quite simple. When bond rates drop it makes income producing stocks all the more attractive.
Yes, that is good news for the 2-4% dividend yield producers of the S&P 500. But it is even better for stocks with exceptional dividends. That is what you will find in this list below.
We start with POWR Rating A and B stocks…this knocks out the weaklings. Then we look for the top 25 dividend payers in the group.
The lowest yield is a hefty 10.88% for Capitala Finance (CPTA) all the way up to 15.84% for Oxford Lane (OXLC).
Even more aggressive investors should consider an allocation to these names at this time. Especially true if the trade dispute with China drags on as rates and stocks prices would head lower while income stocks would certainly be outperformers in that environment.
Or lets say the trade deal goes through, rates will still be low and you get stocks with a combination of the best momentum and highest income potential. What’s not to like about that?
