"Total return includes interest, capital gains, dividends, and distributions realized over time. In other words, the total return on an investment or a portfolio consists of income and stock appreciation. Let's take a closer look at the concept of total return. Imagine you purchase a stock at $20 that offers a 3% dividend. If the stock price rises to $22 within a year, your total return is 13%. This is calculated by adding the 10% increase in stock price to the 3% dividend."
"Unknown to most investors, this South American company pays a substantial 7.27% dividend. Ambev S.A. ( NYSE: ABEV) was previously Inbev Participacoes Societarias, a Brazil-based company operating in the brewing sector. The Company produces, distributes, and sells beer, carbonated soft drinks (CSDs), and other non-alcoholic and non-carbonated (NANC) beverages across the Americas. Ambev's activities are divided into three segments: Latin America North, including the sale of beer"
Dividend stocks, especially high-yield varieties, provide significant income and contribute strongly to total return, which combines income and stock appreciation. An example shows a $20 stock with a 3% dividend rising to $22 yields a 13% total return. Two of the world's largest beer and liquor companies pay dividends above 4% and are held by Berkshire Hathaway. Additional alcohol-sector companies in the high-yield database pay strong dividends, with at least one reaching 7.65%. High-yield dividend stocks serve as reliable passive-income sources. Ambev S.A. yields 7.27% and operates beverage businesses across the Americas.
