2 High-Yield Dividend Stocks Worth Buying Right Now

Investors seeking regular income may be tempted to shift from dividend stocks to low-risk Treasuries as the 10-Year Treasury yield nears 4.8%. However, long-term Treasury investments typically fall short of stock returns, growing from $1,000 to $1,480 after ten years, compared to the S&P 500's potential $2,640 with $1,000 invested. Despite market volatility concerns, dividend-paying stocks remain a viable option. Two high-yield stocks to consider are ExxonMobil (XOM) and Brookfield Renewable (BEPC).
