Should You Buy Healthcare Realty Trust for Its 6.5% Yield?
A high-yielding dividend stock can be both alluring and scary at the same time. While it can be alluring in the sense that you can earn a high yield, it can also be all for naught if the company can't afford to make dividend payments in the future because its payout is unsustainably high. At 6.5%, Healthcare Realty Trust (NYSE: HR) pays a dividend yield that is more than three times the S&P 500 average of 1.7%.
