A Covered 8.7% Yield And Promising Upside

This company has strong dividend coverage stats, and a high degree of dividend visibility. It could increase its quarterly cash dividend if NII rises in an environment of higher interest rates. An investment in the company yields 8.7 percent.

Starwood Property Trust (STWD) combines attractive dividend income and upside for capital appreciation tied to the company’s variable-rate investment portfolio. Starwood Property has a history of overearning its dividend, lending a high degree of dividend visibility to an investment in the mortgage REIT. Though Starwood Property Trust’s shares are far from being cheap, the premium valuation is justified given its nearly 9 percent covered yield, and dividend upside.
