We Arc Co-authored by Rida Morwa. The Fed has finally signaled a pivot on interest rate policy and is widely expected to start cutting interest trates in September.

The Walmart logo is seen at one of its stores in Miami on May 2, 2024. With the Federal Reserve expected to cut interest rates in September, dividend-paying stocks could be set to outperform. That is because the dividend yields on these names will look more attractive compared to the returns offered by other income-generating assets, including bonds.

Some REITs are better than others for those seeking a sustainable income stream. Real estate investment trusts (REITs) can be great income-producing investments. They tend to offer much higher dividend yields (4% on average these days compared to a sub-1.5% dividend yield on the S&P 500). Meanwhile, the best ones aim to consistently increase their payments.

jetcityimage When I last covered EPR Properties (NYSE:EPR) I had doubled my position in the experiential REIT on the back of its heavily covered but high dividend yield of 8.2%. I've since added to this position to reflect increased bullishness on the REIT with EPR last declaring a monthly cash dividend of $0.285 per share, kept unchanged from its prior payments and $3.42 per share annualized for a 7.8% dividend yield.
