At the current share price, Realty Income (NYSE: O) pays a forward dividend yield of 5.9%. This gives it a yield over 5 times that of the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC), which currently has a forward dividend yield of under 1.1%. As a real estate investment trust (REIT), it is required to distribute 90% of its taxable income to investors as dividends, which explains its unusually high yield. For income investors willing to accept slower growth in exchange for more dependable returns, it's a strong choice. Image source: Getty Images.
