Boring Stocks With Exciting Dividends

Names like Tesla (TSLA), Netflix (NFLX) and Amazon (AMZN) might get a lot of attention on Wall Street, but not all stocks can be head-turners. In fact, sometimes the best stocks to buy are actually obscure, irrelevant and even downright boring. Boring can often be just what a portfolio needs … if the dividends are big enough and reliable enough.

Here are five stocks boasting some of the market’s best dividends — all with with yields much stronger than the (mostly) risk-free 10-year Treasury yield of 2.5%: New York Community Bancorp (NYCB) currently boasts a yield of 6.3%. Suburban Propane Partners, L.P. (SPH) sells propane via a home-delivery service. AllianceBernstein Holding (AB) currently yields 7.4%, but those dividends could — and likely will — grow in the foreseeable future. Ship Finance International Limited (SFL) owns a fleet of 61 vessels and oil rigs. Oaktree Capital Group, LLC (OAK) is nothing like any of the other strong-dividend names under the microscope.
