Healthpeak Properties, a healthcare real estate investment trust, pays a monthly dividend of just over 10.33 cents a share. At about $20.30 a share, $25,000 would buy roughly 1,231 shares and generate just over $127 monthly, at a 6.02% annual dividend yield.
Healthpeak owns hundreds of healthcare properties, including outpatient treatment centers, labs, senior housing and related facilities. The article notes that only a couple of S&P 500 companies pay monthly dividends; most dividend-paying companies in the index pay quarterly.
Through Sept. 26, 2026, Healthpeak shares had risen just over 26% for the year, compared with about 12.5% for the S&P 500. The article argues healthcare stocks may fare better in downturns because demand tends to hold up more than in sectors such as consumer discretionary and technology. Healthpeak was not among Stock Advisor’s 10 stock picks, though The Motley Fool disclosed that it recommends the company.
