Here's 1 High-Yield Dividend Stock You Can Trust
Often enough, a stock sporting a high dividend yield is a red flag that the company may be in trouble. It's an indication that investors are beginning to suspect the dividend is going to be cut, especially if the stock's yield is an outlier compared to other companies in the same business sector.
That said, there are some types of stocks that do pay a high yield because of the nature of their business, and it is not a red flag. Real estate investment trusts (REITs) routinely have high dividend yields, and Annaly Capital Management (NYSE: NLY) is one such stock with a yield that appears high but is actually quite safe and manageable.
