Want Passive Income in 2026? 3 High-Yield Stocks to Research (and Their Risks)
2026-02-26 18:37:00 ET
The financial saying "there is no such thing as a free lunch" is one that all dividend investors should keep in mind as they research potential high-yield stocks. With the average stock in the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) offering a scant 1.1% yield, any investment that offers a dramatically higher yield most likely comes with trade-offs.
But don't let that stop you from digging into the story behind Enterprise Products Partners (NYSE: EPD) and its ultra-high 6% distribution yield; Realty Income (NYSE: O) and its 4.8% dividend yield; Or General Mills (NYSE: GIS) and its tasty 5.4% yield. Here's a quick overview of each of these high-yielders.
