3 High-Yield Dividend Stocks I'd Buy Right Now

Yield-focused investors are facing dwindling options these days. With the Federal Reserve slashing interest rates, yields have compressed on most income investments. Meanwhile, with the stock market bouncing back sharply from its COVID-19 bottom, most dividend yields have fallen, pushing the average to less than 2%.

However, several attractive payouts still exist these days. Three income stocks that stand out right now for their above-average yields are Clearway Energy (NYSE: CWEN)(NYSE: CWEN.A), AvalonBay Communities (NYSE: AVB), and Brookfield Infrastructure (NYSE: BIP)(NYSE: BIPC). Those big yields are just part of their attraction, which is why they're currently among my favorite income options.
