3 Top High-Yield Financial Stocks to Buy in September
It can be hard to find good dividend yield stocks when the broader market is hovering near all-time highs, and the S&P 500's yield is a scant 1.2%. But don't give up -- just look harder.
If you do, you'll find gems like Bank of Nova Scotia (NYSE: BNS), with a yield of 6.2%; W.P. Carey (NYSE: WPC), which yields 5.8%; and EPR Properties (NYSE: EPR), with a huge 7.2% dividend yield. Here's a quick look at each of these attractive high-yielders.
Bank of Nova Scotia, usually just called Scotiabank, took an unusual growth approach, focusing on expanding in South America at a time when its Canadian banking peers were expanding in the United States. That didn't work out as well as hoped, with Scotiabank falling behind competitors on key metrics (like earnings growth) largely because of its exposure to the emerging economies of South America.
