Many new and inexperienced investors scratch their head when it comes to high-dividend stocks. However, the general rule is that, if the stock yields 4% or more dividend, it’s considered a high-dividend stock.
In today’s era, a 4% dividend yield is considered high. It’s almost twice as high as the market’s dividend yield in 2019.
