For investors seeking ways to hedge their portfolios against any potential market volatility, betting on fundamentally sound dividend stocks could be a great strategy. Investors’ interest in high-dividend-yield stocks is evident in iShares Select Dividend ETF’s (DVY) 25.7% returns year-to-date.
In addition to ensuring a steady income stream, dividend-paying stocks Suncor Energy Inc. (SU), Triton International Limited (NYSE:TRTN), Dorchester Minerals, L.P. (DMLP), and Natural Resource Partners L.P. (NRP) could also deliver solid price returns because of their fundamental strength. So, we think these stocks could be solid bets now.
