The bear market has brutalized stock prices over the past year. However, there is a benefit to the decline in market values: Dividend yields have risen. This means investors can lock in higher income streams on some high-quality dividend stocks.
Three great income buying opportunities that have emerged in the bear market are Alexandria Real Estate Equities (NYSE: ARE) , Digital Realty (NYSE: DLR) , and Prologis (NYSE: PLD) . Here's why dividend-focused investors will want to take advantage of this situation.
Alexandria has lost nearly 30% of its value since the market peaked in early 2022. That has driven the real estate investment trust's ( REIT ) dividend yield up over 3%. It's nearly double the 1.7% dividend yield of the S&P 500 and approaching the office REIT's highest level in the last five years.
