The Best High-Yield Dividend Stocks to Buy With $1,000 in June
2026-06-03 16:22:00 ET
Growth stocks are still driving the market higher. Each bullish step, however, pushes them closer to their eventual peak. And if it's macroeconomic weakness that trips them up, what starts out as a small stumble could turn into something far, far worse in a hurry. It wouldn't be wrong to think like a contrarian here, and start stepping into some defensive names that most people aren't thinking about buying right now.
To this end, if you've got some idle cash waiting to be put to work in your portfolio, here's a closer look at three high-yield dividend stocks to consider buying this month.
In theory, higher interest rates work against real estate investment trusts -- or REITs -- like Realty Income (NYSE: O) . Not only do they raise the cost of buying, developing, and improving properties, but higher interest rates raise REITs' dividend yields to (risk-adjusted) market-based levels by lowering the price of the underlying ticker. That's why this stock has performed so poorly since early March; market-based interest rates on bonds and mortgages have been inching higher since then.
