TODAY'S FEATURED STOCK STORY
7 High-Paying Dividend Stocks in the S&P 500
In this period of extreme market volatility, many investors have turned to dividend stocks to reduce their risk and generate reliable income. While it's tempting to chase investments with the highest payday, it's important to remember that dividend yield is calculated by dividing the annual payout by the share price. In other words, while a stock that's increasing dividends has a rising yield, so does a stock whose share price is falling off a cliff. Lately, a number of stocks in the S&P 500 have seen yields soar because of this latter scenario, placing them at higher risk. However, they are certainly worth noting as their yields all top 11% right now. Consider these seven dividend payers: 1. Kohl's Corp. (ticker: KSS). Kohl's has a decent capital position and is still projecting a full-year profit, so bold investors who want to take a chance on this income stock could see a hefty return if the quarterly payouts keep coming. 2. Simon Property Group (SPG). During the Great Recession a decade ago, Simon cut its dividend to preserve cash amid the crisis, but thus far there haven't been signs of a reduction and the yield is among the biggest on Wall Street after recent declines. 3. Invesco (IVZ). This boutique exchange-traded fund provider has a host of offerings that are tailor-made for day traders, including funds focused on currency and commodity strategies.

Yield is climbing with volatility.
In this period of extreme market volatility, many investors have turned to dividend stocks to reduce their
risk and generate reliable income. But while it's tempting to chase investments with the highest payday, it's important to remember that dividend yield is calculated by dividing the annual payout by the share price. In other words, while a stock that's increasing dividends has a rising yield, so does a stock whose share price is falling off a cliff. Lately, a number of stocks in the S&P 500 have seen yields soar because of this latter scenario, placing them at higher risk. However, they are certainly worth noting as their yields all top 11% right now.
High paying dividend stocks in the S&P 500:
- Kohl's Corp. (KSS)
- Simon Property Group (SPG)
- Invesco (IVZ)
- Oneok Partners (OKE)
- Kimco Realty Corp. (KIM)
