Stock prices have fallen this year as investors weigh the impact of rising interest rates on the economy. While no one wants to see the value of their portfolio decline, there is a silver lining to this year's market sell-off. Dividend yields are rising because they move in the opposite direction of stock prices.
Because of that, investors can lock in some enticing dividend yields these days. Three top options that currently stand out are Realty Income (NYSE: O) , Crown Castle (NYSE: CCI) , and Agree Realty (NYSE: ADC) . Here's why three Fool.com contributors think these top-notch dividend stocks are great buys for yield-focused investors this November.
Brent Nyitray (Realty Income): Realty Income is a real estate investment trust (REIT) that focuses on single-tenant properties under an unusual lease structure called a triple-net lease. This means that the tenant is responsible for almost all operating costs, including taxes, maintenance, and insurance. The leases generally last more than a decade and contain automatic rent escalators. From the landlord's perspective, triple-net leases require careful vetting of tenants since the lease terms are so long.
