1 Top High-Yield Dividend Stock You've Probably Overlooked
It's getting harder to find an attractive dividend yield in the current environment. Even traditionally higher-yielding investments like real estate investment trusts (REITs) are trading at lower yields. Currently, that sector yields around 3%, while the average stock in the S&P 500 is near 1.3%.
That makes Medical Properties Trust's (NYSE: MPW) dividend stand out in the current low-yield environment. At 5.4%, it's well above average. It suggests income investors have completely overlooked the company. That's a shame, because it has an excellent dividend track record and growth prospects.
