The best high-yielding dividend stocks do one thing exceptionally well. They grow their dividends. Over the last half-century, dividend growth stocks have delivered significantly higher total returns (dividend income plus price appreciation) than companies that didn't increase their dividends or don't pay them.
Realty Income (NYSE: O) and Main Street Capital (NYSE: MAIN) have extensive track records of increasing their high-yielding dividends. That makes them some of the best high-yielding dividend stocks to buy for those with $1,000 to invest right now.
