2 Stocks Yielding up to 7.4% to Buy for Income

Many investors are turning to monthly dividend stocks to supplement their monthly income, because traditional sources of income, such as GICs, term deposits, and bonds, yield next to nothing these days. With this in mind, let’s take a closer look at two great income stocks you could buy today.

Cineplex Inc.

Cineplex Inc. (TSX:CGX) is one of Canada’s leading entertainment and media companies, including its largest owner and operator of movie theatres with 164 across the country that serve about 75 million guests annually.

Cineplex currently pays a monthly dividend of $0.14 per share, equal to $1.68 per share annually, giving it a yield of about 3.25%. Investors must also note that the company is currently on pace for 2017 to mark the seventh consecutive year in which it has raised its annual dividend payment, making it both an income and dividend-growth play today.




NorthWest Healthcare Properties REIT
