One of the more notable dividend stocks of the last few years is Verizon Communications (NYSE: VZ). The company has been making regular payouts since soon after it split from AT&T in the early 1980s. Moreover, it has a 17-year streak of payout hikes. Contrast that with AT&T, which slashed its payout in 2022 after more than three decades of consecutive annual increases and hasn't boosted it since.

Stocks have continued to rally this year. While that's great for portfolio values, finding attractive new investment opportunities has become more difficult. That's especially true for income-seeking investors since dividend yields fall as stock prices rise. However, there are still some compelling income opportunities if you know where to look. For example, the average real estate investment trust (REIT) currently yields over 4%, roughly triple the S&P 500 's dividend yield.

If you want a good dividend, you can aim much higher than the 1.4% yield that the S&P 500 averages. In some cases, you can earn a lot more than the average -- without even having to take on much more risk. While high-yielding stocks sometimes have the connotation of being risky investments, that isn't always the case. Three stocks I'd feel comfortable relying on for dividend income that yield more than 6% today are AT&T (NYSE: T) , Enbridge (NYSE: ENB) , and Western Union (NYSE: WU).
