4 Buy-Rated Stocks with Massive Dividends

As the better than expected jobs report is unlikely to give the Federal Reserve reason to pause its aggressive monetary policy tightening, and thus the economy could witness a slowdown, we think it could be wise to scoop up shares of high-dividend companies ZIM Integrated (ZIM), Western Midstream (WES), Stellantis (STLA), and Turkcell (TKC) for a steady portfolio income stream. Let’s discuss.

Since the beginning of the year, the major market indexes have faced intense selling pressure due to in large measure to the Federal Reserve’s tightening monetary policy to control high inflation, rising energy and commodity prices, supply disruptions arising from the Russian-Ukraine war, and the potential for the economy to slip into recession.

A stronger-than-expected jobs report is not expected to revive investor sentiment because it may bolster the Fed’s commitment to its hawkish stance. According to the labor department, the U.S. economy added 390,000 jobs in May, which was better than the 328,000 estimated by Dow Jones. The benchmark 10-year Treasury yield also climbed above the 2.96% level after the report.

Since the stock market is expected to remain highly volatile in the coming months on concerns over the lingering issues, it could be wise to bet on high-dividend stocks from ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd. (ZIM), Western Midstream Partners, LP (WES), Stellantis N.V. (STLA), and Turkcell Iletisim Hizmetleri A.S. (TKC) to generate a steady income stream.
