The geopolitical conflict in the Middle East has increased the market's volatility, but the S&P 500 is still near all-time highs. If you are looking for reliable high-yield stocks in these uncertain times, consider Federal Realty and Realty Income.

Federal Realty is a relatively small REIT, but it has an incredible dividend record. Enterprise Products Partners is a midstream giant with an attractive yield and a great distribution history.

Depending on who you ask, there is a chance we will get no interest rate cuts in 2026, or if we do, it'll be just one.

Federal Realty has increased its dividend annually for 58 consecutive years. The strip mall and mixed-use landlord is the only REIT to have achieved Dividend King status.

Dividend King stocks are turning into a necessity for all portfolios, even growth-focused ones.

Target is a Dividend King and one of the largest retailers in the United States. Lowe's is another Dividend King retailer, and it has a more attractive valuation than its main rival.
