PennantPark Floating Rate Capital (PFLT) Stock

One of the great things about putting your money to work on Wall Street is there's more than one way to generate a profit. With thousands of publicly traded companies and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to choose from, every investor is likely to find one or more securities that'll help them meet their goals.

Income-seeking investors looking for ultra-high-yield dividend stocks can find what they're looking for in the healthcare and finance sectors. Walgreens Boots Alliance (WBA 2.14%) and PennantPark Floating Rate Capital (PFLT -0.28%) offer yields above 10% at recent prices.

As high-yield dividend stocks go, you can't get much higher than PennantPark Floating Rate Capital's (PFLT 0.36%) more than 11%. That hasn't made this business development company (BDC) a hit lately, though; its stock has fallen since Nov. 25 while the S&P 500 index inched into positive territory.

I maintain my buy rating on PennantPark Floating Rate Capital due to its strong portfolio structure, consistent price range, and high dividend yield of 10.7%. PFLT's focus on first lien senior secured investments at a floating rate basis helps protect in varying interest rate environments. Despite a slight increase in non-accrual rates, PFLT's risk profile remains low, with potential relief from anticipated interest rate cuts.

It doesn't take a huge investment to produce significant levels of passive income with these stocks.
