Investing in high-yielding dividend stocks offers a reliable path to passive income, and EPR Properties (NYSE: EPR) and Oneok (NYSE: OKE) stand out this March. EPR, a REIT focused on experiential properties like movie theaters, leases these assets under stable triple net leases. Its funds from operations (FFO) grew 5.1% last year, enabling a 5.9% yield after a dividend increase.

EPR plans to invest $400M-$500M this year, including $85M in new experiential projects, supporting continued low-to-mid single-digit dividend growth. Oneok, a pipeline giant, benefits from long-term, fixed-rate contracts. Double-digit earnings growth last year, driven by acquisitions and synergies, allowed a 4% dividend hike, pushing its yield to 5%.

While growth slows this year due to fewer catalysts, six organic projects coming online between 2026-2028 should fuel future expansion and dividend increases at 3-4% annually.
