Want Growth and Income? This 5%-Yielding Dividend Stock Offers an Unbeatable Combination.

Over the last 50 years, dividend growers in the S&P 500 have delivered a higher total return (10.2% annualized) with less volatility (a beta of 0.88) than dividend non-payers (negative 0.6% total return and a beta of 1.22) and companies with no change in their dividend policy (6.6% total return and a beta of 1.01), according to data from Hartford Funds and Ned Davis Research. VICI Properties (NYSE: VICI) certainly fits the bill. The experiential real estate owner pays a 5%-yielding dividend and delivers market-leading earnings growth.
