3 Dividend Stocks to Double Up On Right Now

The stock market has been under a lot of pressure this year due to concerns about rising inflation and an economic downturn. While stock market sell-offs can be challenging, they often provide investors with great buying opportunities.

One benefit of lower stock prices is that dividend yields move in the opposite direction, meaning dividend investors can lock in some much higher yields these days. Three dividend stocks that look like great opportunities right now are Medical Properties Trust (NYSE: MPW), Kinder Morgan (NYSE: KMI), and Verizon (NYSE: VZ). Here's why investors who already own shares might want to consider doubling up on their positions.

Shares of Medical Properties Trust have tumbled more than 30% this year. That sell-off has pushed the real estate investment trust's (REIT) dividend yield up over 7%.
