Buy The Dip: 8-11% Dividend Yields Getting Way Too Cheap

Stocks that combine extreme market negativity and being in a niche sector often provide some of the best chances of achieving alpha. I discuss two of these stocks - one yields 8% and another yields 11%. They combine attractive growth, valuation multiple expansion potential, and solid underlying balance sheets.

Slacking Into A Rate Cut

U.S. equity markets pushed higher this past week - while short-term benchmark interest rates plunged to three-year lows - after employment data provided decisive evidence of cooling labor markets. Viewed by markets as a "Goldilocks" set of reports, the reports showed slowing - but still positive - job growth in August alongside consistent evidence of cooling wage pressures and emerging slack. A notable milestone after several years of ultra-tight labor markets, the number of job seekers surpassed the number of available job openings for the first time since April 2021.

Before The Fed Blinks: 8% Yields That Wall Street Is Sleeping On

Wall Street is ignoring two low-risk 8% yield machines hiding in plain sight. Rate cuts could send these income giants soaring. These opportunities may not last once the Fed makes its next move.

Easterly Government Properties: Over 8% Dividend, Leasing To The U.S. Government, And Worth Buying

Easterly Government Properties offers a compelling 8%+ dividend yield even after a recent cut, supported by stable government leases and a 97% occupancy rate. The company trades at a significant discount to book value, with strong financials and predictable cash flows despite political uncertainty. Rate cuts are a key near-term catalyst, likely to lower interest expense and boost demand for this defensive, income-focused REIT.

Easterly Government Properties: 8% Dividend Yield And Tailwinds From Lower Rates Could Generate Alpha

DEA's recent dividend cut and improved financials set the stage for long-term growth, but I maintain a hold rating for now. Solid Q2 earnings, strategic acquisitions, and a 97% leased portfolio highlight DEA's operational strength and growth runway. Dividend safety has improved with a lower payout ratio and rising cash available for distribution, but I caution investors to wait for further sequential improvements.

Powell Pivot Sparks REIT Rebound

U.S. equity markets notched another series of record highs this week, surging into the weekend after surprisingly dovish commentary from Federal Reserve Chair Powell, who hinted at imminent rate cuts. Powell used his final Jackson Hole speech as Fed Chair to deliver a clear policy pivot, an unexpected reversal after months of insistence that tariff-related inflation warranted a hawkish framework. Markets were equally relieved by the policy-focused nature of Powell's speech amid speculation that the address may be used instead as a potential defiant sermon on central bank independence.
