With the S&P 500 dividend yield sitting well below 2%, income investors chasing meaningful cash flow are increasingly forced outside the usual REIT and utility sectors. The four names below all pay yields north of 4%, sit in industries most dividend screens ignore (PCs, consumer electronics retail, airlines, and semiconductors), and, more importantly, show the earnings coverage and free cash flow to keep those checks coming. Here are four higher-yield dividend stocks I think the market is distinctly overlooking.
Copa Holdings (CPA)
Copa Holdings (NYSE:CPA | CPA Price Prediction) is a name you may not know – but you should. It’s a Latin American airline based in Panama, whose shares are up 25% year to date and about 42% over the past year, with a current yield of 4.58%.
Copa hiked its dividend to $1.71 per quarter in early 2026, up from $1.61, an increase of 6.2%. Q1 2026 EPS came in at $5.16 versus $4.42 expected, and trailing EPS is $16.93, which leaves the $6.84 annualized dividend covered several times over. Operating margin was 24.6%, load factor hit 87.2%, and Adjusted Net Debt to EBITDA sits at just 0.6x. Analysts carry a mean target of $173.13 with 13 buy or strong buy ratings against only 2 holds.
The risk: jet fuel is expensive (and pricing is uncertain due to various macro factors), and management guided operating margin down to 8% to 12% for that quarter. Airlines are cyclical, currency-sensitive, and capital intensive.
HP Inc. (HPQ)
HP Inc. (NYSE:HPQ) trades at around $24, with a market cap of roughly $21 billion and a juicy dividend yield of 5.21%. The stock is up almost 10% year to date but still trades at just 7x forward earnings, one of the cheapest large-cap tech multiples in the market.
HP paid out $0.30 per share in each of its most recent quarters, an annualized rate of $1.20, against trailing EPS of $2.74, so things look well-covered. Q2 FY26 non-GAAP EPS came in at $0.86 versus the $0.7151 consensus, and free cash flow swung to $800 million from negative $100 million a year earlier. Management guided FY26 non-GAAP EPS to $2.90 to $3.10 and free cash flow to $2.8 billion to $3.0 billion, which comfortably funds the payout.
The risk: memory prices are climbing, tariff exposure is real, and printer hardware units fell 7% year over year last quarter. HP is a cash cow, but it is a cyclical one.
Best Buy Co. (BBY)
Best Buy (NYSE:BBY) has been one of the quieter comeback stories of 2026, up ~20% year to date. The current yield sits at 4.84%, backed by a quarterly dividend that was raised to $0.96 in March 2026 (up from $0.95). The most recent payment landed July 9, 2026.
Q1 FY27 gave dividend investors what they needed: adjusted EPS of $1.28 versus $1.23 expected, revenue of $8.94 billion, and enterprise comparable sales of +2.0% after a negative print a year earlier. Management guided FY27 adjusted EPS to $6.30 to $6.60, which supports the $3.84 annualized payout with room to spare, and plans roughly $300 million in buybacks. Trailing EPS of $5.40 and a 14x trailing multiple leave the payout well covered.
The risk: consumer electronics remain cyclical, appliances comps were down 10.5% domestically, and the CEO transition to Jason Bonfig on November 1, 2026 introduces additional execution uncertainty.
Skyworks Solutions (SWKS)
Skyworks Solutions (NASDAQ:SWKS) is the contrarian pick. Shares are trading around $60, down 22% over the past month. That drawdown pushed the yield up to 4.57%, with the quarterly dividend at $0.71 and annualized at $2.84. Forward P/E is 12x.
Q2 FY26 non-GAAP EPS beat at $1.15 versus $1.04, and revenue of $943.7 million topped estimates. The bigger catalyst is a multi-generational design win with a leading Android OEM that management expects to generate more than $1 billion in revenue through 2030, finally reducing Apple concentration. Q1 FY26 free cash flow hit $339 million at a 32.7% margin, which is more than enough to fund the payout. CEO Phil Brace noted, “Mobile outperformed expectations on healthy demand, while Broad Markets continues to accelerate.”
The risk: the proposed Qorvo merger, approved by 81% of shareholders, still faces regulatory review and adds leverage. Semiconductor cyclicality and Apple exposure remain the wild cards.
What to Watch Next
All four of these names offer 4%+ dividends – without the direct interest rate exposure problems that plague REITs and utilities. HP and Best Buy hinge on holiday demand and tariff clarity, Copa on fuel prices, and Skyworks on the Qorvo close and the Android ramp. For income investors willing to accept cyclical exposure in exchange for yields well above the market, these offer four distinct sources of covered cash flow…from names that I think the market is distinctly overlooking.
