According to CoinMeta, the yield of the S&P 500 index in 2026 was only about 1%. Against this backdrop, finding attractive dividend stocks has become very difficult. However, income investors can still find returns, although it requires some effort. Corporate product partners ( NYSE : EPD ) offer a high yield of 5.6% and have a 27-year record of dividend growth, while Realty Income ( NYSE : O) has a yield of 4.9%, and its dividends have been growing for 31 consecutive years. Both of these stocks are fundamental high-yield investments that, although with slow growth, can provide investors with stable income.
