Dividend yields in the S&P 500 are near record lows, but some stocks are bucking the trend. Annaly Capital Management (NLY) offers a massive 13% yield fueled by leveraged mortgage investments, though its payouts can fluctuate with market conditions. Delek Logistics Partners (DKL), an energy midstream MLP, yields 10% and has raised its distribution for over 50 quarters, supported by stable cash flows and recent acquisitions. Verizon (VZ) yields 7%, backed by steady free cash flow from its telecom operations, and has grown its dividend for 19 straight years. While these stocks provide high income, the risk profiles and outlooks differ. Despite solid yields, Motley Fool’s analysts did not include NLY in their current top 10 stock picks.
