3 Top High-Yield Dividend Stocks I Can't Wait to Buy in June to Boost My Passive Income
PepsiCo has increased its more-than-4%-yielding dividend for over 50 years in a row. Rexford Industrial has been growing its 5%-yielding payout at a rapid rate. W.P. Carey has been steadily raising its high-yielding dividend. 10 stocks we like better than PepsiCo › I'd love to be able to retire early. It's not that I don't want to work; I don't want the stress of having to earn income to cover my living expenses. My desire to become financially independent drives my investment strategy. My goal is to grow my passive investment income so that it will eventually cover my basic living expenses. That way, I won't have to worry about working to pay the bills. I strive to make progress toward my passive income target each month by investing in additional cash-flowing investments. A top priority of mine is buying high-quality, high-yielding dividend stocks. Three that I can't wait to purchase more of this June are PepsiCo (NASDAQ: PEP), Rexford Industrial Realty (NYSE: REXR), and W.P. Carey (NYSE: WPC). PepsiCo stock currently yields more than 4%, roughly three times more than the S&P 500's less than 1.5% yield. The food and drink giant's yield has been steadily rising over the past year. That's due to the company's continued dividend increases and a more than 25% slump in its stock price caused by the potential impact of tariffs and concerns about changing consumer tastes. PepsiCo recently raised its payment by another 5%, extending its growth streak to 53 years in a row. That's kept it in the dividend nobility. It's a Dividend King, a company with 50 or more years of annual dividend increases. I love investing in high-yielding dividend stocks that grow their payouts, because they can help me reach my passive income goal faster. PepsiCo is in an excellent position to continue increasing its payout. The company expects its heavy capital investments (it reinvests more than 5% of its net revenue each year) to drive 4%-6% organic revenue growth and mid-to-high single-digit earnings-per-share growth. The company is also investing in inorganic growth to accelerate its transformation into a healthier food and beverage company. It recently bought low-calorie drink maker Poppi for nearly $1.7 billion. It also acquired Siete and Sabra to help better align its portfolio with consumers' changing tastes for more wellness-focused products. The company's growth investments put it in a solid position to continue increasing its shareholder payout. Rexford Industrial Realty's dividend yield is approaching 5% following a more than 30% slump in its stock price from its 52-week high. The industrial-focused real estate investment trust (REIT) has been under pressure due to rising interest rates and slowing demand for warehouse space in Southern California. The slowdown in Southern California drove anemic growth in the net operating income (NOI) generated by its same-property portfolio in the first quarter (0.7% increase). However, new investments (acquisitions and redevelopment projects) helped drive a nearly 7% increase in its funds from operations (FFO) per share in the period. While Rexford is facing some near-term growth headwinds, the longer-term outlook is much brighter. The REIT estimates that a combination of annual embedded rental rate increases, in-process repositioning and redevelopment projects, and rent growth as legacy leases expire and reprice to market rates will drive a 34% increase in its NOI over the next few years. That positions Rexford to continue increasing its dividend. The REIT has grown its payout at a 16% compound annual rate over the past five years, much faster than the sector average of 3%. W.P. Carey's dividend yield is getting closer to 6%. The diversified REIT's payout has risen due to its falling share price (nearly 5% decline) and steady dividend increases. It bumps up its payment a little bit each quarter. The REIT invests in single-tenant industrial, warehouse, retail, and other properties across North America and Europe secured by long-term net leases with built-in rent escalations that raise rents at either a fixed rate or one tied to inflation. Because of that, its portfolio provides it with very stable and steadily rising rental income. W.P. Carey routinely invests in additional income-producing net lease properties. It's targeting to invest $1 billion to $1.5 billion into new properties this year. Those growth drivers should enable it to steadily increase its payout. PepsiCo, Rexford Industrial Realty, and W.P. Carey fit my investment strategy. They pay high-yielding dividends that they aim to steadily increase and have strong businesses. Because of that, they can supply me with more income now and in the future, which should help me reach my early retirement goal even faster.

Want More Money? These 3 High-Yield Dividend Stocks Are on Track to Give You a Raise Every Single Quarter.
Most top dividend stocks strive to boost their payments at least once a year. However, some companies are even more generous. They aim to give their investors a raise every single quarter. That enables investors to collect a very steadily rising income stream. Clearway Energy (NYSE: CWEN.A)(NYSE: CWEN), Energy Transfer (NYSE: ET), and W.P. Carey (NYSE: WPC) have been hiking their high-yielding payouts each quarter for the past few years. While future payments are not guaranteed, these look like ideal stocks to buy to collect a very steadily rising stream of passive income. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Learn More » A powerful plan to grow its dividend Clearway Energy currently pays a $0.4384 per-share dividend ($1.75 annualized). The clean energy company has a 5.7% dividend yield at its current rate and share price. The company generates very stable cash flow by selling clean energy to utilities and large corporate customers under long-term, fixed-rate power purchase agreements (PPAs). The company has been raising its dividend each quarter (it hiked its payout by 1.7% last quarter), and it's targeting to pay a total of $1.76 per share in dividends this year. It aims to deliver 6.5% dividend-per-share growth next year and raise its payment in the bottom half of its 5%-8% long-term target range in 2027. Powering Clearway's growing dividend is its investmentstoexpand its clean energy portfolio. For example, it recently bought an operational solar farm in California and a wind farm in Washington. The company also agreed to re-power the Mt. Storm Wind project in West Virginia by installing larger turbines. It will sell the power from that project to Microsoft under a 20-year PPA. The company uses its post-dividend free cash flow and balance sheet flexibility to fund growth investments. Lots of fuel to increase its lucrative payout Energy Transfer currently pays a quarterly distribution of $0.3275 per unit ($1.31 annualized). That gives the master limited partnership (MLP) a 7.3% yield at its recent unit price and distribution level. The energy midstream company aims to raise its distribution by $0.0025 per unit each quarter ($0.01 annualized), which works out to a 3% to 5% annual growth rate. The MLP, which sends its investors a Schedule K-1 federal tax form each year -- so unitholders will have a little extra paperwork -- generates very stable cash flow because fee-based assets supply about 90% of its annual earnings. Energy Transfer aims to distribute a little more than half of its stable earnings to investors, retaining the rest to invest in growing its operations and maintaining a rock-solid financial profile. Energy Transfer is investing about $5 billion into growth capital projects this year, which should come online through the end of next year. Those expansions will supply it with incremental sources of cash flow as theyenter commercial service. It has many more projects under development that it could approve in the future. Meanwhile, its strong balance sheet gives it the financial flexibility to make accretive acquisitions as opportunities arise. It bought WTG Midstream last year in a $3.3 billion deal that will add $0.04 per unit to its cash flow this year, increasing to $0.07 per unit by 2027. The company's growth investments give it the fuel to raise its payout each quarter. Dual dividend growth drivers W.P. Carey recently raised its dividend payment to $0.89 per share ($3.56 annualized). The real estate investment trust (REIT) has a 5.7% yield at its current payout level and share price. The landlord has been increasing its payment every quarter since resetting its dividend in 2023 when it exited the office sector by selling and spinning off those properties. It raised its payment by $0.005 per share each quarter last year and has been hiking it by $0.01 per share each quarter this year. Two factors drive W.P. Carey's steadily rising dividend. The REIT invests in single-tenant industrial, warehouse, retail, and other properties secured by long-term net leases with built-in rent escalation. About half of its leases tie rental rates to inflation, while most of the remaining contracts raise rents at a fixed annual rate. These leases supply it with very stable and steadily rising rental income. In addition, W.P. Carey uses its post-dividend free cash flow, non-core assets sales, and balance sheet flexibility to buy additional income-producing properties secured by leases with built-in rental escalation. This strategy supplies it with a growing income stream to support its steadily rising dividend. Get paid more each quarter Clearway Energy, Energy Transfer, and W.P. Carey have been raising their dividend payments each quarter. That's adding to their already lucrative income streams. It makes them ideal dividend stocks to buy for those who want to collect a very steadily rising stream of passive income. Should you invest $1,000 in Energy Transfer right now?
