A focus on generating income is better than depleting assets, with high-yield stocks offering better returns than low-yield options like the S&P 500. In this article, I focus on two such stocks that offer 9% yields. Both are undervalued and can offer great diversification to an income portfolio.
I rate Armada Hoffler Properties a buy because the stock is selling at a large discount to NAV. The equity dilution and high leverage even for a REIT does not justify the current market price. Investors can earn a nice return on the dividend while they wait for the market to realize the value of AHH's assets.
The market has become more volatile. As it is usually the case, higher volatility tends to open interesting opportunity for long-term investors. In this article, I discuss two 9%+ yielding picks, which even before the uncertainty level spiked higher, were bargains, and now have become an even more attractive buys.
Armada Hoffler Properties is a diversified REIT with strong fundamentals, trading near its 52-week low and offering an attractive 8.9% dividend yield. AHH's robust leasing activity, high occupancy rates, and strategic portfolio recycling highlight its solid performance. Its P/FFO is significantly below its historical average, indicating that near-term headwinds are already priced in.
Passive beats active in most cases. REITs are an exception. I explain why I follow an active strategy when investing in REITs.
Since my first article on Armada Hoffler Properties back in mid-2024, the total return level has landed at negative ~20%. The key driver for this performance has been the equity dilution event. Now, the business trades at an even lower multiple and has a more de-risked balance sheet.

The market is currently giving investors the chance to buy high-quality dividend growth stocks at deep discounts and high yields. We are taking advantage of these opportunities. I share three of them in this article.
Warren Buffett once offered some sage wisdom on the best time to buy stocks and how to buy them. We discuss a sector that looks particularly compelling right now. We share three blue-chip ideas that offer high-yields, are growing their dividends, and are trading for pennies on the dollar.
U.S. equity and bond markets posted their best week since the November election, as benchmark interest rates tumbled after inflation data showed surprisingly muted pressures in December. Closing the books on the Biden era, the Trump Administration assumes the reins next week of a U.S. economy that has seemingly "held it together" through a myriad of headwinds. The worst four years of inflation and the first decline in "real" consumer incomes since the late 1970s paradoxically coincided with a robust period of job growth and historically low unemployment.
Armada Hoffler focuses on A-class multifamily, office, and retail assets, primarily in the Greater Baltimore/Washington D.C. area, enhancing returns through development and construction. Deleveraging efforts combined with a strong portfolio should make AHH even more resilient going into the future. With new assets coming online as we speak and shares trading at depressed levels, you get paid a well-covered 8.5% dividend yield while you wait for a mean reversion.
