High dividend stocks are attractive for income investors. With the S&P 500 average yield at just 1.1%, it has gotten harder to find suitable yields in the stock market.
And with the Federal Reserve cutting interest rates, income yields on savings accounts and CDs are likely to decline as well.
Fortunately, there are still plenty of quality high dividend stocks to choose from. With that in mind, we have created a free list of over 200 high dividend stocks with dividend yields above 5%.

However, investors should remember that extremely high yields can be deceiving. There are many examples of high dividend stocks reducing or eliminating their dividends.
As a result, investors should look for high dividend stocks that also have sustainable payouts. This means investors will receive the benefits of high income for many years.
The 10 high dividend stocks below were found based on a qualitative assessment of their individual business models and future growth prospects.

Adjusted gross margin was 37% of sales, in line with the year-ago period. Adjusted earnings-per-share came in at $1.86, which was up from $1.50 a year ago and a nickel ahead of estimates.
Management noted the merger with Kenvue was overwhelmingly approved by shareholders of both companies, and that it is expected to close in the second half of this year.
The dividend was also boosted to $5.12 per share annually from $5.04 previously. That is the 54th consecutive year of dividend increases for the company.
