Five high-dividend stocks are drawing attention from income investors. The names are AbbVie, Chevron, Shell, Enterprise Products Partners, and Realty Income. Each yields above 3%.

The focus here is not on chasing the highest yield. It is on companies with steady cash flow, manageable debt, and dividends backed by real earnings.

AbbVie

AbbVie is the top-ranked pick in the group. The stock yields around 3.3%.

AbbVie Inc., ABBV

The company reported 2025 revenue of $61.16 billion, up 8.6% from the prior year. Drugs like Skyrizi and Rinvoq have helped replace lost Humira sales following biosimilar competition.

AbbVie raised its dividend 5.5% for 2026. On MarketBeat, it has 16 buys, 9 holds, and 0 sells, giving it a Moderate Buy rating.

Chevron

Chevron reported record production in 2025 and a 158% reserve replacement ratio. That means it replaced far more reserves than it used during the year.

Chevron Corporation, CVX

The company raised its quarterly dividend to $1.78 per share. Analyst sentiment sits at a Hold overall, with 14 buys, 6 holds, and 4 sells on MarketBeat.

Less enthusiasm from Wall Street can sometimes leave more room for upside if oil prices hold and shareholder returns continue.

Shell

Shell is one of the largest liquefied natural gas operators in the world, which sets it apart from most energy peers.

In 2025, Shell generated $42.9 billion in cash flow from operations and $26.1 billion in free cash flow. The company targets returning 40% to 50% of operating cash flow to shareholders.

MarketBeat lists Shell with 6 buys, 13 holds, and 0 sells. Its LNG business adds exposure that pure oil companies do not offer.

Enterprise Products Partners

Enterprise Products Partners carries the highest yield in the group at close to 6%. It reported distribution coverage of 1.7x in its latest results.

That coverage ratio is key. A yield near 6% can sometimes signal risk, but strong coverage suggests the payout is not under pressure.

MarketBeat shows a Moderate Buy consensus with 10 buys, 6 holds, and 2 sells. Investors should note that this is a master limited partnership, meaning a K-1 tax form is issued at year end.

Realty Income

Realty Income pays shareholders every month and is known as “The Monthly Dividend Company.”

It reported Q4 2025 adjusted funds from operations of $1.08 per share. Net debt to EBITDAre stood at 5.4x.

The stock is rate-sensitive. If interest rates fall over the next few years, Realty Income could benefit from both its yield and a higher valuation.

Analyst sentiment is cautious on MarketBeat, with 6 buys, 9 holds, and 1 sell. StockAnalysis shows a broader Hold consensus.

What the Numbers Show

Across the five names, AbbVie ranks first for its mix of income and earnings growth.

Chevron and Shell both offer energy exposure with strong cash returns. Enterprise Products ranks fourth for high current income, and Realty Income fifth for its monthly payout structure.

Realty Income currently holds a Hold consensus across major analyst platforms.
