7 High-Yield Dividend Stocks That Will Please Any Income Lover

As the U.S. Federal Reserve remains careful to not rock the boat with regards to reversing its aggressive monetary policy, it remains a low-interest rate environment. In turn, dividend stocks in general continue to remain at high prices, after being bid up by investors on the hunt for yield. Yes, a possible stock market correction could change this. After trading for historically high valuations, blue chip and speculative stocks alike could tumble down to more reasonable prices.

But until then, choices remain limited, when it comes to finding stocks with yields that can at least keep up with the 5%+ inflation we are seeing today. So, which of the small pool of high-yield dividend stocks are worth a look? These seven, all with forward yields well over 5%, and many of which will likely fare well in a market downturn, are definitely names to consider: Gaming and Leisure Properties (NASDAQ:GLPI), Iron Mountain (NYSE:IRM), Lumen Technologies (NYSE:LUMN), Altria Group (NYSE:MO), PPL Corporation (NYSE:PPL) AT&T (NYSE:T) and Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM).
