Over the past couple of months, declining Treasury yields amid the continuing near-zero interest rate environment have made high-yielding dividend stocks AT&T Inc. (T) and Altria Group , Inc. (NYSE:MO) solid bets. These stocks have impressive payout histories.
Conversely, we think it could be risky to bet on dividend-paying stocks Iron Mountain Incorporated (NYSE:IRM) and B&G Foods, Inc. (BGS) because of their weak balance sheets and hefty losses.
