3 High Dividend Stocks With Safe Yields Above 5%

Great dividend stocks are sporting higher yields than they have in years thanks to the market selloff in 2022. That has pushed the number of high-dividend stocks ever higher, and for income-focused investors, this is a great opportunity to pick up strong dividend stocks at a discount. However, not all dividend stocks are created equal, and we tend to favor those with demonstrated histories of raising payouts through good times and bad. This signifies recession resistance, but also the willingness of management to commit to rising shareholder returns over time.

In this article, we’ll take a look at three high-yield dividend stocks we like that have all boosted their payouts for at least 10 years. Verizon (VZ) is a telecommunications and wireless service based in the U.S. that offers wireless plans, broadband internet access and hardware. W.P. Carey (WPC) is one of the largest net lease REITs in the U.S. Chemical company LyondellBasell (LYB) is based in the U.S., but operates globally.
