In a tougher market, some investors stick with familiar dividend names for safety. But outside the safety of the blue-chip group, there are lesser-known companies still offering high yields and enough quality to deserve a closer look. These under-the-radar names may not get much attention, but that is often where interesting income opportunities begin.
But, of course, high yields don’t automatically mean good investments. That’s why today, I’m looking for high-yield stocks that still pass Wall Street’s scrutiny.
