Investors seeking income from dividend stocks may face higher risk with higher yields, but some stocks offer above-average yields with lower risk. Realty Income (NYSE: O) is a real estate investment trust with a monthly dividend, owning over 15,600 properties. With an annual dividend of $3.23 per share, it offers a 5.3% cash return. Clorox (NYSE: CLX) faced challenges post-pandemic and a cyberattack, resulting in stock price declines. However, its $4.96 per-share annual payout yields over 4.1%, doubling from five years ago. Both stocks have potential for dividend growth and stock-price appreciation. Investors should consider Stock Advisor’s top 10 stock picks for high returns.
