3 Super Safe Dividend Stocks Yielding 4%+ to Buy Right Now

Higher dividend yields often imply that the underlying company paying the dividend has a higher risk profile. However, that's not always the case. Some companies offer high-yielding dividends on an extremely safe footing. That's especially true of many real estate investment trusts (REITs) where the average dividend yield is over 4% compared to 1.6% for the S&P 500.

Three higher-yielding REITs that stand out for their safety are Equity Residential (EQR), Public Storage (PSA), and Realty Income (O). That quality makes them great passive income investments for risk-wary investors. These companies offer high yields backed by top-tier financial profiles.
