Dividend stocks with high yields are great, as long as those dividends are sustainable. While there are no guarantees, I think American Tower (NYSE: AMT) and British American Tobacco (NYSE: BTI) are solid choices for those looking for lofty payouts and a reasonable level of safety. American Tower, a real estate investment trust (REIT) that specializes in telecom towers and other communication assets, is one such stock.
Two unloved stocks that fit this definition are Altria Group (NYSE: MO) and British American Tobacco (NYSE: BTI). Put just $11,000 into these two stocks and they'll pay you $1,000 in annual dividend income -- dividends that have consistently grown over the years. In 2020, that number was just over 5 trillion, which has many investors worried about the future of tobacco stocks such as Altria and British American Tobacco.
Should you buy this 8.7% hyper-high-yield dividend stock, or is it a trap for the unsuspecting investor?
