7 Dividend Stocks to Buy With Yields Over 4%

Dividend stocks are an important part of every portfolio. Those dividend payments provide a regular income that can be spent, or re-invested. Ideally, you gain through the growing value of the stock as well. Typically, companies that pay dividends to their shareholders tend to be very stable. They are less volatile than some high-growth stocks might be (even riding out events like a global pandemic), adding balance to your portfolio.

A higher dividend yield is a good thing, and these seven dividend stocks have been picked for that very reason. Arbor Realty Trust (NYSE:ABR), Ellington Financial (NYSE:EFC), Iron Mountain(NYSE:IRM), MFA Financial (NYSE:MFA), Oaktree Specialty Lending Corp (NASDAQ:OCSL), ONEOK (NYSE:OKE) and Redwood Trust (NYSE:RWT).
