Their steady bottom lines and dividend yields over 5% are often too compelling to overlook but let’s see if now is a good time to buy these popular stocks.

Overview & Dividend Comparison

OneMain’s dividend yield tops this list at 9.99% with the financial holding company offering personal loan products, credit cards, and optional credit insurance among other services.

Big tobacco producer Altria has a 9.30% dividend yield at the moment that tops real estate titan Simon Property Group’s 6.98% but both are enticingly above the S&P 500’s  1.49% average.

Altria has tapped into smokeless tobacco growing its dividend by a modest 3.84% over the last five years while Simon Property Group’s yield has decreased -4.45% as the company reserves more capital with its leasing clients of shopping, dining, and entertainment centers still regaining their post-pandemic footing.
