With the S&P 500’s dividend yield dropping to near 20-year lows (around 1.2%), some stocks still offer solid yields over 5%. Brookfield Infrastructure Partners (BIP) yields 5.8%, thanks to stable infrastructure cash flow, while its corporate twin BIPC pays less but is simpler for taxes. EPR Properties (EPR) is paying 6.7% monthly from experiential real estate. Main Street Capital (MAIN) has a 6.6% yield with a rarely-cut monthly dividend. MPLX, a midstream energy MLP, offers more than 7.5% and consistent distribution growth. Realty Income (O) yields 5.5%, with a long record of quarterly increases. All five combine strong financials and proven payout histories, standing out if you want higher yields and dividend growth, even as most of the market falls behind.
