2 Big Dividend Stocks Yielding 9%; Analysts Say ‘Buy’

It remains to be seen just how the market will move in the coming year. In the meantime, Wall Street’s analysts are picking out the stocks that should pick up investor interest. It should come as no surprise that high-yield dividend payers are prominent among the analysts’ picks – these stocks have long been important facets of a defensive portfolio. Using the TipRanks database, we were able to pinpoint two such picks, 'Strong Buy' dividend stocks with long histories of reliability and high yields, on the order of 9%. Let's take a closer look.

We’ll start with MPLX LP (MPLX), a large-cap master limited partnership company that was formed by Marathon Petroleum in 2012 to own and operate the parent company’s midstream assets. The second dividend stock we’ll look at is Monroe Capital (MRCC), a Chicago-based asset management firm. This middle-market lender has invested heavily in the health, media, retail, and tech sectors, providing direct lending, asset-based lending, opportunistic and structured credit, and specialty finance solutions for its clients.
