Highest Yielding S&P 500 Stocks

Irving, Texas-based Pioneer Natural is yielding an impressive 12.2% despite the stock falling just 2.6% this year. Just know that the dividend likely won't stick around forever. Rival Exxon Mobil (XOM) is looking to buy Pioneer for roughly $65 billion. Exxon Mobil stock yields just 3.8% — a fraction of what Pioneer does.

Pioneer is the only S&P 500 stock paying a double-digit percentage as a dividend. But approaching that level at a 9.4% yield is ailing drugstore Walgreens Boots Alliance. Mostly due to a 43% plunge in the stock price, the company now yields 9.4%. That's certainly an outlier. S&P 500 industry peer CVS Health (CVS), in contrast, yields just 3.4%.
