TipRanks ‘Perfect 10’ List: 2 Top-Rated Dividend Stocks Yielding 8%

What to do, after a month of market crises and volatility? It looks like bank runs have been averted, but inflation remains high and the Fed is trying to tack a middle course between the risks of high prices and higher interest rates. While the market downturn that followed the failure of SVB has receded, it’s left behind a more volatile market that only underscores the uncertain circumstances facing us. So let’s get started looking at stocks that bring both benefits to the table: high dividend yields, of at least 8%, plus a ‘Perfect 10’ from the Smart Score. We’ve pulled up the data on two such names...

First up is a major player in the North American energy scene, Plains GP Holdings (PAGP). Plains operates as a holding company, and owns both a controlling general partner interest and an indirect limited partner interest in Plains All America, one of North America’s largest midstream energy firms. Sticking with midstream energy, a stock sector long known for its high dividends, we’ll turn our attention to Western Midstream Partners (WES). This company operates primarily in the American West, in Texas and the Rocky Mountains, where its network includes 23 gathering systems feeding more than 15,000 miles of pipelines, including 15 for crude oil and natural gas liquids and 6 for natural gas, which in turn supply 72 processing and treating facilities.
