3 High-Yield Dividend Stocks to Buy for the Second Half of 2020

Ideally, we want the highest yield possible with the least amount of risk. Unfortunately, risk and yield tend to be correlated. This means high-yield dividend stocks (those with yields of at least 4%) should be given extra care and scrutiny. But that doesn't mean there aren't great high-yield income stocks. If you're looking to add a few great high-yield companies to your portfolio for the second half of 2020, consider buying these three stocks.

First up is regional banking giant U.S. Bancorp (NYSE:USB), which was paying out 4.7% to its shareholders as of this past weekend. Real estate investment trust Innovative Industrial Properties (NYSE:IIPR). Finally, income seekers should really consider buying into telecom stalwart AT&T (NYSE:T), which as of this past weekend was paying out a delectable 7.2% annually.
