3 Dividend Aristocrats That Offer High Yields

Despite the Federal Reserve signaling its intention to begin raising interest rates this year, it is still difficult for some investors in dividend stocks to find the yield that they need to meet their needs. In some cases, income investors might be tempted to reach for high yields of questionable quality. This is dangerous way to invest, in our opinion, because high yields often mean high risk.

There are, however, stocks yielding more than three times the S&P 500 average that we believe are some of the highest quality names in the market place. Investors looking for high-yield Dividend Aristocrats could consider the following stocks: IBM (NYSE:IBM), Realty Income (NYSE:O) and Walgreens-Boots Alliance (NASDAQ:WBA).
