These companies plugged into some powerful megatrends. Artificial intelligence (AI) is a revolutionary technology. And according to an estimate by PwC, it could contribute a staggering $15.7 trillion to the global economy in 2030. That's more than the current combined economic output of China and India. The AI revolution requires four factors to thrive: Renewable power, data centers, semiconductors, and computing capacity. That aligns perfectly with the strategies of siblings Brookfield Renewable (BEPC 3.54 ...

Brookfield Renewable has a lot going for it these days. Brookfield Renewable (BEPC -0.18%) (BEP) currently sits about 15% below its 52-week high. This slump has pushed the renewable energy producer's dividend yield up over 5%. That's several times higher than the S&P 500's current dividend yield of less than 1.5%. A high dividend yield isn't Brookfield Renewable's only draw. The leading global renewable energy producer is growing briskly. Add that to its lower valuation, and the company could produce superc ...

Even if analysts' price targets aren't reached, these stocks should pay investors handsomely to own them. The Rolling Stones were right when they sang, "You can't always get what you want." But can't doesn't mean never. Sometimes, you can get what you want. Income investors want solid income (of course). However, they also like their investments to grow. However, they must often trade off growth in exchange for higher income. But some stocks offer both. Here are three high-yield dividend stocks that could s ...

These trends play right into the hands of Brookfield Renewable (BEPC 0.32%) (BEP -0.54%). The leading global renewable energy company is capitalizing on opportunities to develop more projects f ...

Now could be a great time for income investors to scoop up these stocks. Don't you like it when something you're interested in buying goes on sale? Most people do, including me. Many investors get nervous, though, when a great stock declines. Sometimes such concerns are warranted, but they're often not. I think income investors now have a fantastic opportunity to pick up several great stocks on sale. These three high-yield dividend stocks just became more attractive buys. 1. Brookfield Renewable Brookfield ...

If you are in the market for yield, don't pass by Enterprise Products Partners, Black Hills, and Brookfield Renewable. The S&P 500 index has an itty-bitty dividend yield of just under 1.3% today. That's not much if you are trying to live off the dividends your portfolio generates. You can do way better than that with the utility Black Hills (BKH -0.62%) and its 4.4% yield; clean-energy focused Brookfield Renewable (BEP -0.54%) (BEPC 0.32%) with a yield up to 6%; and midstream master limited partnership (MLP ...

These stocks could also perform well over the long run, even if Harris doesn't defeat Trump. Another close presidential election could be on the way. It's not too soon for investors to begin thinking about where the best opportunities might lie, depending on which candidate is elected. I've already written about stocks I expect to perform well if GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump wins. However, Vice President Kamala Harris -- the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee after President Joe Biden's wi ...
