2 Top Dividend Stocks That Yield 6.2%

The S&P/TSX Composite Index has suffered triple digit losses in over half of the total trading sessions over the past two weeks. In this environment, investors may want to snatch up dependable dividend stocks. Today, I want to focus on two of my favourites. Let’s take a snapshot of both.

Enbridge (TSX:ENB)(NYSE:ENB) is a Calgary-based energy infrastructure giant. Shares of this top energy stock have increased 4.3% in 2022 as of close on September 29. The stock has increased 2.4% year over year.

Investors can expect to see Enbridge’s next batch of results later this fall. In Q2 2022, the company delivered adjusted earnings that were flat from the previous year at $1.4 billion or $0.67 per common share. This dividend stock possesses a very solid price-to-earnings ratio of 21. Meanwhile, investors can count on its quarterly dividend of $0.86 per share. That represents a tasty 6.6% yield.
