Methodology
The 50 highest dividend yields in the S&P 500, each verified as actually paid from our own dividends table rather than taken from a vendor's forward estimate. A yield that exists only because the share price collapsed is still a real yield today, and often a warning; check the payout against earnings and free cash flow before treating it as income.
Returns are total returns (dividends reinvested), computed over adjusted closes we derive ourselves from SEC-filed dividends and splits. Fundamentals come from company filings via our EDGAR pipeline. Past performance does not predict future returns; this is not investment advice.
FAQ#
- What S&P 500 stock has the highest dividend yield?
- AGNC Investment Corp. (AGNC) currently has the highest verified dividend yield in the S&P 500, at about 13.48%.
- What are the top 10 dividend stocks in the S&P 500?
- The 10 highest S&P 500 dividend yields right now: 1. AGNC 13.48%, 2. TU 12.24%, 3. JBS 11.01%, 4. PBR 10.46%, 5. ARCC 9.75%, 6. ORI 9.26%, 7. OWL 8.06%, 8. GLPI 7.59%, 9. HST 7.56%, 10. WES 7.29%.
- Do the returns include the dividends (total return)?
- Yes — every return column on this page is a total return: it assumes dividends are reinvested, so the figures capture both the price change and the income. That's the right way to judge a dividend stock, since a high yield can coexist with a losing total return when the share price falls faster than the payout.
- Is a higher dividend yield always better?
- A very high yield can signal a falling share price or an unsustainable payout rather than a bargain — check the payout's history and the company's earnings before treating yield as income. This list filters out data artifacts by verifying each yield against dividends actually paid over the past year.
