From MarketWatch, twelve dividend stocks paying at least 3.5% that are well-suited for high inflation. These companies are expected to produce rapid growth for sales and earnings, and have high dividend yields well-covered by cash flow.

The twelve.

Oil and gas:

• Equitrans Midstream (ETRN)
• Devon Energy (DVN)
• Pioneer Natural Resources (PXD)
• Phillips 66
• XOM

Real estate:

• EPR Properties
• Realty Income Corp (O)
  

Home Building:

• MDC Holdings (MDC)

Other:

• Merck & Co
• VF Corp
• Huntington Bancshares
• Cracker Barrel Old Country

Free Cash Flow

This was perhaps the most interesting item I read all day.

Wall Street's 2022 free cash flow estimate for AAPL is the same as combining the free cash flow for the following:

• XOM
• CVX
• COP
• PXD
• FANG
• DVN
• MRO
• OVV
• OXY
• HES
• APA

AAPL's net cash is $80 billion vs the other eleven companies with new debt of 177 billion.

What wasn't said:

• the list of eleven oil companies are trading at/near their 52-week highs due to a most peculiar set of events that most feel is not sustainable;
• AAPL is well off its 52-week high, as folks rotate out of tech and into energy, particularly oil.
