Courtiers backs high-yield shares

Chunky dividend payouts and share buybacks across many UK sectors mean that income investors attracted to high-yielding shares have had quite the time of it this year. But, as Jacob Reynolds says to David Craik in this Interactive Investor article:

“If you look outside big tech in the US, which dominates all the storylines, you can find value everywhere. You are going to find massive dividend payers and big fat dividend yields because shares are so cheap. Some of the yields we are seeing are astonishing.”

Noting that Legal & General and Lloyds, with forecast yields of 9.4% and 5.1% (as at 27 August 2024) doesn’t even take into account the cash the companies are returning to shareholders via share buyback programmes. Jake added that: “This could leave both yields in double figures.”
