Is it safe to buy these high-yielding S&P 500 stocks?

The S&P 500 index has been one of the best-performers of all time. Launched in 1950s when it was trading at $45.4, the blue-chip index has surged to over $6,100. While the index is known for its growth, some companies have a higher dividend yield. Let’s explore some of the high-yielding stocks in the S&P 500 index and whether they are good investments.

Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA)

Walgreens Boots Alliance is a top high-yielding S&P 500 index stock, with its 8.42% return. This yield has jumped because its stock has crashed hard in the past few years. It has dropped by over 82% from its highest level in 2015 as its business has gone through major challenges like slow growth and high cost of doing business. 

Walgreens stock is a good one to buy because of its potential as an acquisition target. There are rumors that Sycamore Partners, a private equity company, will make a bid for the firm. Such a move would likely attract bids from other private equity firms, pushing its stock much higher.

Pfizer (PFE)

Pfizer is another high-yielding S&P 500 index company. It has a 8% yield as its stock has plunged by over 50% from its all-time high of $54 in 2021. Pfizer has crashed as the momentum of the Covid-19 pandemic ended and as its attempt to enter the weight-loss industry faded. 

The company has also spent billions of dollars in acquisitions. Pfizer acquired Seagen in a $43 billion deal, Biohaven, Global Blood Therapeutics, and Arena Pharmaceuticals for $11.6 billion, $5.4 billion, and $6.7 billion, respectively. 

While Pfizer is an undervalued company, it is also going through major challenges that make it a risky investment. 

Ford Motor (F)

Ford Motor is another high-yielding company in the S&P 500 index as its stock has plunged by about 50% from its all-time high. Its crash has mirrored that of other traditional automakers amid a weak reception of its electric vehicles. It has a dividend yield of 7.7%

Ford has now scaled down its EV ambitions and is mostly focusing on hybrids and ICE vehicles. Its most recent results showed that its revenue rose by 5% to $46.2 billion, while its adjusted EBIT rose to $2.6 billion. The stock may start to rebound this year as interest rates continue falling. 

Altria (MO)

Altria is another high-yielding company in the S&P 500 index. It is a top tobacco stock that has a long history of paying dividends. That’s because tobacco companies often generate substantial sums of money and return them to shareholders. 

Altria’s stock has jumped by over 30% in the last twelve months as it has reported stronger-than-expected results. However, growth in the tobacco industry is slowing, meaning that the stock may pull back this year. That is a sign that the
