5 High-Yield Dividend Stocks that Beat the Market in 2020
The ultra-low rates have sent investors chasing after high-yield dividend stocks this year. This is especially true as the 10-year Treasury yields were at historically lower levels of below 1% for most of the year and will remain under pressure given the inflow of cheap money into the economy.
The Fed has pledged to keep interest rates near zero and will continue to buy at least $120 billion of bonds each month until "substantial further progress" has been made toward reaching maximum employment and healthy inflation.
Additionally, the coronavirus outbreak wreaked havoc on the economy, driving the appeal for dividend-paying stocks. Though the pandemic is seemingly nearing its end with the arrival of the vaccine, the surging number of new cases is still weighing on investors’ sentiment. Concerns over the availability of safe vaccines to all Americans soon added to the woes.
In such a scenario, high-yield dividend securities are the major sources of consistent income for investors, creating wealth. These stocks often play a defensive role in a portfolio and can reduce volatility in turbulent times or uncertain markets. The companies that pay high dividends generally act as a hedge against economic uncertainty and provide downside protection by offering outsized payouts or sizable yields on a regular basis.
Below, we have highlighted five stocks that have beaten the stock market this year. These stocks have a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) or 2 (Buy), a dividend yield of greater than 4%, a market cap of more than $100 million and year-to-date returns of more than 15%.
