A dividend is a portion of a company's profits paid to shareholders. High-yield dividend stocks pay a higher dividend in percentage terms than stocks with a lower yield.

If you're an income-oriented investor, stocks with high dividend yields may carry less risk than other dividend payers. That's because high dividend yield stocks are generally perceived to mean the company is more financially stable. And in fact, one attribute of high dividend-yielding stocks is that the companies frequently operate in mature, defensive sectors of the economy that perform well regardless of what is happening in the broader economy.

However, high yield dividend stocks do not always pay investors the best or most attractive dividend. A mistake that many investors make is to chase after the highest yield. This article will explain why investors should consider buying high-yielding dividend stocks and when they may want to look in other directions.

What is a High-Yielding Dividend Stock?

To help you better understand the significance of high-yield dividend stocks, let's start by answering two questions. First, what are dividends? And second, why are dividends and high dividend yielding stocks important to investors?

In short, a dividend is a portion of a company's profit that it returns to shareholders as a cash payment. Companies make these payments on a regular schedule. Most companies pay dividends quarterly. Others will pay them on a monthly, annual or semi-annual basis.

A dividend yield is a financial ratio that measures how much money per share a company pays out as a dividend. The yield is expressed as a percentage. The formula for dividend yield is:

Annual dividend per share/price per share

For example, a company with a share price of $200 that pays a $5 dividend per share will have a dividend yield of 2.5%.

5/200 = .025 (2.5%)

But would a 2.5% dividend yield be considered a high-yield dividend? As of April 24, 2023, the average dividend yield for all the dividend-paying stocks in the S&P 500 index is 1.67%. So by that measure, the answer would be yes.

However, you must also check a dividend yield in context with other stocks in the company's sector. In some cases, a dividend yield of 2.5% may be considered below average. For example, it's not uncommon to see stocks with dividend yields above 3% or 3.5% in the energy sector. In that context, a 2.5% yield means the stock is underperforming.

Why Are High-Yielding Dividend Stocks Important?

Now to the next question. Why are dividend stocks, particularly high yielding dividend stocks, important to investors? Dividend payments are part of an investor's total return on a stock.

Ideally, investors will look for stocks that pay the best high dividends and yields.

How to Use Fundamentals to Find the Highest-Yielding Dividend Stocks

How do you find quality high-yield dividend stocks? MarketBeat has several tools that can help you do just that.

Step 1: Use the dividend screener.

One of the dividend resources available is the MarketBeat dividend screener, which allows you to quickly sort through a range of dividend stocks based on your specific criteria. For example, you can choose stocks with a yield above 4%.

Step 2: Look for monthly dividend stocks.

Although many stocks pay dividends quarterly, some pay dividends monthly. Consider looking into two kinds of dividend stocks: real estate investment trusts (REITs) and business development companies (BDCs).

Both types of companies are required to pay out at least 90% of their taxable income as dividends. Many of these companies will pay their dividends monthly rather than quarterly, which can provide an additional benefit for fixed-income investors. The MarketBeat dividend screener allows you to find stocks that pay monthly dividends.

Step 3: Follow a dividend calendar.

MarketBeat makes it easy to know which companies are paying dividends and on what day they are making their dividend announcements.

Step 4: Understand the ex-dividend date.

The ex-dividend date is when the stock begins to trade without the dividend price included in the stock price (i.e., ex-dividend). A shareholder must be a shareholder of record before the ex-dividend date to capture the dividend for that period. MarketBeat's dividend calendar provides a list of stocks that are going ex-dividend. The calendar can be sorted by week.

How to Use a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP)

Investors can use a dividend in several different ways. You can take your dividends as cash payments if you're at or near retirement age. This means having cash directly deposited into your bank or brokerage accounts in the modern era. You can then choose to use that cash as you see fit.

However, dividend stocks are a vital part of every investor's portfolio. And if you have a longer time horizon, a dividend reinvestment plan (DRIP) can be a way to make dividends with high yields even more attractive. By participating in a DRIP, the regular dividend payment you receive goes into purchasing additional company stock shares.

Let's look at an example. Utility stocks are good choices for dividend investors. Duke Energy Corporation (NYSE: DUK) is known as one of the highest dividend stocks in the sector. As of April 24, the company pays an annual dividend of $4.02 per share. The share price is $98.47, which makes the dividend yield 4.08% (4.02/98.47 = 0.04.08).

If you invested $10,000 in Duke Energy stock, you would own 101.55 shares of the company's stock. That means every quarter, you would receive $102.06 in dividends. That's because Duke Energy pays its dividend quarterly. So, the quarterly dividend payment is $1.006 ($4.02/4).

But here's where the real magic happens. That $102.06 would buy you just over one share of DUK stock. In the following quarter, if the dividend payment remained the same, you could calculate your dividend yield on owning 102.58 shares of the company's stock. That would change your payout to $103.19.

You can see why reinvesting dividends can make a long-term difference to your portfolio. Even if a company's stock price goes up (which means you're buying fewer shares), you're still allowing the benefit of compounding to do its work for you.

Pros and Cons of High-Yielding Dividend Stocks

Review the pros and cons now that you know what high-yield dividend stocks are, why they're important and how to find them.

Pros

Here are some pros of dividend stocks and high-yielding dividend stocks in particular:

Financial strength: A high dividend yield is considered a sign of financial strength, but it is not always true.
Devotion to increasing dividends: Companies that issue dividends will typically go to great lengths to preserve and increase their dividends. The best have names such as dividend princes, aristocrats and kings. These designations mean that a company has increased its dividend per share (not the yield) for 10, 25 or 50 years, respectively.
Mature business cycle phase: They are at a mature phase of their business cycle. This means the company's cash flow is increasing, but the opportunity for growth through reinvestment is getting smaller. When this happens, they may reward their shareholders by paying dividends. The dividend should grow over time as long as revenue is not interrupted.
Defensive industries: They are in defensive industries. A defensive industry holds up against market volatility. During bull markets, these stocks will not show the highest growth, but during bear markets, they will hold their share price better. It's the difference between riding a roller coaster or a carousel.

Cons

Of course, there are also some potential negatives to consider with high-yield dividend stocks. These include the following:

Not strong growth stocks: They are not strong growth stocks. Investors may enjoy some capital appreciation from the stock price over time. But in general, these returns will underperform the broader market. These stocks will not be the best candidates if you want to grow your portfolio.
Difference between dividend payout and yield: Know the distinction between a company's dividend payout and dividend yield. The company's dividend yield will move up and down depending on the company's stock price. But the payout generally only changes once a year, if that.
A high yield may be a yield trap: This occurs when a stock's dividend yield has increased because the stock price is falling because analysts believe the dividend may get cut. Here are a few things to watch for to help avoid a yield trap:

Check the stock's dividend yield relative to its peers. A significantly higher yield may be a sign of distress rather than an opportunity.
Look at other metrics, including the dividend payout ratio, that can let you know if the company's dividend is sustainable.
Review the company's financials. Does it carry a lot of debt? Does it have insufficient cash to return to shareholders?
Ask yourself tough questions about the company. Does it have a strong moat, or does it have many competitors? Is demand consistent? Is there a risk of the company being displaced by disruptive technology?

Should You Invest in High-Yield Dividend Stocks?

High-yield dividend stocks can be a great addition to every investor's portfolio. But an internet search for "stocks with highest dividends" or "highest dividend stocks" will not likely give you the desired results.

The best dividend stocks do not always have the highest dividend yields. To find the top dividend stocks, you should consider many other factors, like the dividend payout ratio, the company's overall health and how it compares with others in its sector.

MarketBeat has many dividend tools that make it easy to determine if a high-yield dividend stock is also one of the best fits for your portfolio.

FAQs

Here are answers to some frequently asked questions we hear from investors.

What is the best high-yield dividend stock?

There is no simple answer to this question. A dividend yield is a "headline number" that draws much attention. But to understand if a high-yield dividend stock is a good option for your portfolio, you have to look at the company's historical performance and its prospects for future growth.

How do you make $1,000 a month in dividends?

Making $1,000 a month in dividends is aggressive, but it can be done and finding quality high-yield dividend stocks is one strategy. However, one way to think about it may be to think about it in annual terms. The MarketBeat dividend calculator lets you learn how much income your dividend stock portfolio will generate over time.
