Lots of companies pay an attractive dividend. The list includes many household names that investors probably already know and many they've yet to discover. Three that most yield-seeking investors might not know about are Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure (NASDAQ: AY), Crestwood Equity Partners (NYSE: CEQP), and Medical Properties Trust (NYSE: MPW). Here's why income investors won't want to overlook these high-yielding stocks.
Atlantica owns a portfolio of sustainable infrastructure assets like renewable energy facilities, power lines, and water desalination plants. These businesses generate stable cash flow backed by long-term contracts that Atlantica uses to support a 5.5%-yielding dividend.
