Dividend stocks are often great long-term investments. Not only can the best ones supply you with a steadily rising stream of passive income, but they can also deliver solid stock price gains.

Every generation has their own preferences for investing their money and becoming richer, particularly when it comes to dividend stocks, according to the Motley Fool's Generational Investing Trends Survey. While the majority of baby boomers and Gen X investors are automatically reinvesting their dividends, millennial investors have other priorities.

Stocks that combine extreme market negativity and being in a niche sector often provide some of the best chances of achieving alpha. I discuss two of these stocks - one yields 8% and another yields 11%. They combine attractive growth, valuation multiple expansion potential, and solid underlying balance sheets.

Realty Income (O -0.32%) has stood out for its business model. The real estate investment trust (REIT) specializes in single-tenant, net-leased properties.

Realty Income's (O -0.32%) dividend yield is about 5.3% today. That compares very favorably to the S&P 500's (^GSPC 0.47%) scant 1.2% yield and the average real estate investment trust's (REIT's) yield of roughly 3.8%.

For more than a century, the stock market has been a money machine for investors with a long-term mindset. Although the market has endured its fair share of corrections, no other asset class has come close to matching the annualized return of stocks over long periods.

In July, we (my wife and I) received a dividend income total of $4,161.64. My other two Vanguard ETFs – S&P 500 (VOO) and Dividend Appreciation ETF (VIG) - both paid in July. We had a solid increase month, 3 stocks is fine with me here in 2025. Dividend growth has been soft, so 3 stocks increasing dividends is great with me.

Interest rates can significantly impact certain types of dividend stocks. Real estate investment trusts (REITs) are highly rate-sensitive.
