Cinco acciones prometedoras que merecen atención según el Índice Stock Whisper

Orion Properties Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ONL#NYSE">ONL</a>) ("Orion" or the "Company") confirmed its receipt today of a revised unsolicited, non-binding indication of interest from Kawa Capital Management, Inc. ("Kawa") to potentially acquire all of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company not already owned by Kawa for cash consideration of $2.75 per share. Kawa previously submitted a proposal on June 20, 2025, to acquire the Company's outstanding shares of common stock for cash consideration of $2.50 per share, and which the Orion Board of Directors rejected on July 9, 2025.
As done with the initial Kawa indication of interest, and consistent with its fiduciary duties and in consultation with its independent legal and financial advisors, Orion's Board of Directors will carefully review and evaluate Kawa's revised indication of interest to determine the course of action that it believes is in the best interests of the Company and all Orion shareholders.
Orion does not intend to comment further on Kawa's revised indication of interest until the Board has completed its review. Orion shareholders do not need to take any action at this time.

Market veteran Warren Buffett, famous for his value investing, is indirectly invested in high-dividend yield stocks via Berkshire Hathaway Inc.&#8216;s (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRA#NYSE">BRA</a>) (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRK#NYSE">BRK</a>) subsidiary New England Asset Management.
What Happened: In 1998, Berkshire Hathaway acquired General Re Corp., which in turn owned New England Asset Management (NEAM).
Therefore, NEAM is a wholly owned subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway. While Buffett doesn&#8217;t directly oversee NEAM&#8217;s investment decisions, the portfolio managed by NEAM is considered part of Berkshire Hathaway&#8217;s overall holdings.
Thus, according to its 13F filings, NEAM holds at least nine stocks that have a dividend yield ranging from 5% to 10.5%.
While most of these nine stocks constitute less than 1% of NEAM&#8217;s 122 holdings as of the end of the first quarter of 2025, only Kraft Heinz Co. is common between Berkshire and NEAM&#8217;s portfolio.

Warren Buffett's Quiet Dividend Play: 9 High-Yield Stocks Held By A Berkshire Subsidiary

Realty Income Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/O#NYSE">O</a>) has become something of a gold standard for investors who are chasing monthly income.
It's one of the few publicly traded companies with the guts, and the track record, to trademark its nickname: The Monthly Dividend Company&#xAE;. With more than 15,600 commercial properties and over 660 consecutive monthly dividend payments under its belt, Realty Income is a REIT investors turn to when they want predictable income, even in unpredictable markets.
But there's another perk Realty Income offers its shareholders that doesn't show up in the yield column, and many investors don't even realize they're benefiting from it.
It's called depreciation, and as most real estate investors know, it can be one of the most powerful tax advantages available.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Dividend Breakdown That Tells The Bigger Story</h2>
In 2024, Realty Income paid out $3.126 per share in dividends, more than 126% of its estimated taxable income. That may sound like a red flag at first, but it&#8217;s actually a feature of REIT taxation, not a flaw.
REITs are required to distribute at least 90% of their taxable income to shareholders in exchange for avoiding corporate income tax. But "taxable income" and "cash flow" are two very different things.
Thanks to depreciation, a non-cash expense that reduces taxable income without reducing actual earnings, REITs like Realty Income can pay out more in dividends than they report in taxable income. When that happens, the portion of dividends that are greater than the taxable income are treated differently.
Here's how that played out for shareholders last year:
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>$2.17598 per share was classified as ordinary income</li>
<li>$0.94952 per share was classified as a nontaxable distribution</li>
</ul>
That nontaxable portion isn't free money. It reduces the investor's cost basis in the stock, which can lead to higher capital gains taxes if and when the shares are sold. But for long-term holders, that trade-off can be more favorable than paying ordinary income tax every year on the full dividend amount.
In short: depreciation lets investors defer taxes today and potentially pay a lower rate later.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why Realty Income Is A Favorite Among REIT Investors</h2>
Most investors are drawn to Realty Income for its reliable dividend and consistent growth.
Earlier this month, the company announced its 131st dividend increase since being listed on the NYSE, bumping the monthly payout from $0.2685 to $0.2690 per share. That may not sound like much, but when you compound reliable growth over decades, it adds up.
Despite ongoing challenges in the real estate market, analysts still see upside for the stock. Recent price targets from UBS, Scotiabank, and Wedbush suggest an average price target of $60.33, compared to the current price near $57.75. And that's on top of a 5.61% yield.
Realty Income isn't just a favorite among retail investors, it's also a sizable holding for several large institutional investors, like Vanguard Group Inc, BlackRock Inc. and State Street Corporation, which collectively hold nearly 300 million shares valued at over $17 billion.&nbsp;
But this isn't the only real estate play that's been gaining the attention of major Wall Street firms.&nbsp;
In 2024, there were more than $1.1 billion in securitizations for an asset class that has been flying under the radar until recently, and that number is expected to more than double this year.
This <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/wall-street-quietly-moved-into-a-34-trillion-market-now-accredited-investors-can-too">emerging asset class</a> lets investors capture the upside of rising home values with a built-in cushion if prices fall.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">There's Over $34 Trillion Trapped In This Corner Of The Real Estate Market</h2>
While Realty Income is built on commercial tenants like Walgreens, 7-Eleven, and FedEx, there's a parallel real estate market that may be even more compelling: owner-occupied home equity.
Americans have more than $34 trillion in equity tied up in their homes, a number that has more than tripled since 2013. And some of the biggest names on Wall Street have figured out how to tap into this growth.&nbsp;
The strategy involves something called <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/wall-street-quietly-moved-into-a-34-trillion-market-now-accredited-investors-can-too">Home Equity Agreements</a> (HEAs), and if you've never heard of this before it's because individual investors have been excluded from participating in this growing market. Until now anyway…
One of the first companies to begin operating in the home equity market recently launched a new fund available to individual accredited investors – <a href="https://nada.sjv.io/c/1193480/3013486/19981">U.S. Home Equity Fund I</a>. The fund is targeting a 14%-17% net IRR to investors with a strategy that can provide positive returns even in a market downturn.&nbsp;
<a href="https://nada.sjv.io/c/1193480/3013486/19981">See how investors are gaining access to this $34 trillion market and what sets this fund apart.&nbsp;</a>

How Realty Income Investors Are Benefiting From One Of Real Estate's Most Overlooked Tax Advantages

If you want to generate cash flow from your stock portfolio, you have to buy dividend stocks. These assets often give out dividends once per quarter, although there are a few stocks that give out monthly dividends.
However, receiving cash flow right now doesn't necessarily mean you're picking the best investment. One couple that's worth $2.7 million recently shared that dividend investing <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/dividends/comments/1l6dbhl/why_young_investors_should_prioritize_total/">isn't the best strategy for young investors</a>.
"Focusing on total returns is a more efficient strategy," they explained.

</ul>
Here's why that advice makes sense and what young dividend investors should consider before making any adjustments to their portfolios.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Focus On Total Returns</h2>
Young investors don't have to rely on cash flow any time soon. While positive cash flow on a real estate property indicates that growth is scalable, it doesn't have the same benefits for stock investors.
Some dividend investors chase high yields and end up with low total returns. For instance, Realty Income (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/O#NYSE">O</a>) is a popular dividend stock since its yield is almost 6%. However, its stock price has been flat over the past five years. Meanwhile, tech companies with no dividends have more than doubled in value over the same period of time.
Dividend stocks make more sense when you need cash flow to cover living expenses and want to reduce your risk. Most companies that give out cash distributions to investors are mature companies that have their best growth days behind them.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Dividends Get Taxed And Reduce Corporate Reinvestments</h2>
Another detail about dividends that makes them a less attractive strategy for young investors is that they get taxed. Most dividends are taxed at long-term capital gains tax rates, so it's a better deal than ordinary income tax rates. However, you can avoid taxes on your stocks entirely by investing in reliable companies that don't give out dividends.
Furthermore, dividends come from a company's retained earnings. Giving cash to investors limits how much a company can reinvest back into itself. Amazon (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) regularly reinvested its profits back into the business, and those reinvestments helped Amazon launch Amazon Web Services, acquire Whole Foods and launch significant projects that boosted revenue.&nbsp;
Amazon still doesn't give out dividends, and yet it has outperformed most dividend stocks over the past five years. If companies like Amazon gave out high yields, they wouldn't have as much capital left over to reinvest in high-growth initiatives.&nbsp;

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Dividend Growth Stocks Are A Good Alternative</h2>
Some investors don't want to give up on dividend investing as a whole, even if they recognize that they could get higher returns elsewhere. However, a good compromise is dividend growth investing, a strategy that prioritizes high dividend growth rates over the present yield.
Dividend growth stocks usually have yields that are close to 1%. While the present yield is low, many of these same companies hike the dividend by more than 10% per year. They can only deliver high dividend hikes because they report strong revenue and earnings growth.
Eventually, these companies will mature and offer high yields, especially if you compare the yield to your average cost basis. However, dividend growth investors can potentially log enticing long-term returns and have high cash flow when they need it.&nbsp;

Realty Income Announces An Increase In Monthly Cash Dividend From $0.2685 To $0.2690 Per Share

Realty Income's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/O#NYSE">O</a>) short percent of float has fallen 15.63% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 23.56 million shares sold short, which is 3.51% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 4.21 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Realty Income Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2025/1749495628_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Realty Income has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Realty Income's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Realty Income's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.89%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Is the Market Bullish or Bearish on Realty Income?

As global growth forecasts dim and trade tensions rattle markets, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/best-dividend-stocks-to-buy-and-hold">high-dividend stocks</a> are stealing the spotlight. The OECD just <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/25/06/45752680/global-growth-forecast-cut-taco-and-blind-money-support-the-stock-market">slashed its U.S. GDP outlook</a> to 1.6% for 2025 from 2.2%, citing persistent policy uncertainty and trade friction. 
That's prompted investors to sharply pivot toward dividend payers—names that offer predictable income when price action gets erratic.
In an environment where the S&amp;P 500 <a href="https://www.multpl.com/s-p-500-dividend-yield/table/by-year">yields</a> a tepid 1.28%, cash-generating stalwarts with robust balance sheets and fat dividends are in high demand. Historically, dividend-paying stocks have outpaced non-payers by more than 2x in average annual returns, and June 2025 is shaping up to be no exception.

Here are three high-yield stocks &#8211; and one ETF &#8211; that are standing out in this market:
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Realty Income Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/O#NYSE">O</a>) – Yield: 5.77%</h2>
The monthly payout machine continues to deliver, with 659 straight dividend checks and a rock-solid 75% AFFO payout ratio. 
Realty Income's <a href="https://www.realtyincome.com/sites/realty-income/files/2025-05/Quarterly_Investor_Presentation-Q1_2025.pdf">$23 billion</a> in first-quarter acquisition opportunities and A-rated credit make it a defensive pick as tariff negotiations linger.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Enterprise Products Partners LP (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EPD#NYSE">EPD</a>) – Yield: 6.89%</h2>
Energy's volatility hasn't fazed this pipeline operator. Its fee-based model and <a href="https://ir.enterpriseproducts.com/news-releases/news-release-details/enterprise-reports-first-quarter-2025-earnings">$6 billion</a> in 2025 projects support a generous yield, without the commodity price drama. A steady cash-flow engine for income seekers.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">OneMain Holdings Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OMF#NYSE">OMF</a>) – Yield: 8.02%</h2>
With a 9.69% gain over the past month alone, OneMain Holdings blends high yield with capital appreciation. Its strong balance sheet gives investors confidence amid uncertain economic signals.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Schwab U.S. Dividend Equity ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SCHD#NYSE">SCHD</a>) – Yield: 3.96%</h2>
Prefer a hands-off approach? 
SCHD offers a diversified path to income with a 4% yield and holdings boasting 8.4% dividend growth over the past five years. It's a popular pick for those avoiding stock-specific risk.
As markets climb but face lingering macro uncertainty, income-focused strategies are staging a strong comeback. For investors looking to shield their portfolios while still collecting steady cash, these dividend leaders offer exactly that &#8211; without needing to call the market&#8217;s next move.

In fact, the company has beaten analyst estimates for both key figures in more than 10 straight quarters. The first quarter saw sales up 48% year-over-year with strong organic growth in the IT market and organic growth in the networks markets. Contributions from recent acquisitions also helped the revenue growth. Guidance from the company for the second quarter came in ahead of analyst estimates for both revenue and earnings per share.

Benzinga's 'Stock Whisper' Index: 5 Stocks Investors Secretly Monitor But Don't Talk About Yet

Realty Income's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/O#NYSE">O</a>) short percent of float has risen 28.4% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 27.90 million shares sold short, which is 4.16% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 5.81 days to cover their short positions on average.

Wall Street edged lower by midday Tuesday as uncertainty surrounding trade policies lingered, with investors adopting a cautious approach ahead of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/federal-reserve">Wednesday&#8217;s Federal Reserve meeting.</a>
In a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, President Donald Trump suggested the U.S. may soon begin renegotiating the USMCA.

Trump kept his trade stance unclear, suggesting that while some agreements may be signed, there is no obligation to finalize any, and dismissed repeated questions about the number of deals in progress.
The S&amp;P 500 dipped 30 points, or 0.6%, to 5,610, on track for its second consecutive negative session after nine straight gains. The Nasdaq 100 dropped 0.8%, while the Russell 2000 slipped 1%.
Ten of the 11 S&amp;P 500 sectors were in the red, with utilities as the only sector in the green. The U.S. dollar fell, extending its losses for a third straight session.
