Investors love dividend stocks, especially those with ultra-high yields, because they provide a substantial income stream and offer significant total return potential. Total return includes interest, capital gains, dividends, and distributions realized over time. In other words, the total return on an investment or a portfolio consists of income and stock appreciation. At 24/7 Wall St., we consistently emphasize the potential of total return to our readers. It is one of the most effective ways to enhance the prospects of overall investing success. Once again, total return refers to the collective increase in a stock’s value, including dividends.

-

The voices across Wall Street and Main Street are starting to ramp up as higher rates have significantly slowed the housing market. With tariffs beginning to be felt by consumers, many economists and equity strategists believe it is high time for the rate cuts to start. The recent inflation numbers came in slightly hotter than expected, which likely nudged a July cut off the table; however, a September cut looks increasingly likely.
One thing is for sure: rate cuts will be a strong tailwind for our favorite ultra-high-yield stocks, and four that trade below $10 are offering investors incredible entry points now. Lower-priced shares enable investors to acquire more stock, potentially generating higher passive income.
Why do we cover ultra-high-yield dividend stocks?
While not suited for everybody, those trying to build strong passive income streams can do exceptionally well with some of these top companies in their portfolios. Paired with more conservative blue-chip dividend giants, investors can employ a barbell approach to generate substantial passive income streams.
