2026-03-25 19:25:00 ET
Investors looking for solid dividend-paying stocks with high yields can find them in a variety of industries. Let's look at five you can buy right now.
British American Tobacco (NYSE: BTI) is a high-yield stock in the defensive tobacco industry that is starting to gain momentum. Its smokeless portfolio is becoming a larger part of its business, now representing more than 18% of its overall revenue, as its Velo Plus nicotine pouches are seeing extraordinary growth.
Its cigarette business continues to see volume declines, but strong pricing power continues to deliver overall revenue growth. At the same time, the company is in the process of deleveraging its balance sheet and is on track to reduce its leverage to between 2 to 2.5 times by the end of the year. This makes it a solid dividend stock to own.
