Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again.In 2009, a “Double Down” signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same “Total Conviction” signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia.Continue »
A $25,000 investment in Healthpeak would buy you about 1,231 shares at the current price of around $20.30. The company’s current monthly dividend is just slightly over $0.1033 a share, resulting in a 6.02% dividend yield. So, each month you would see just over $127 deposited to your account. That’s a nice income stream.
Plus, the stock’s return so far in 2026 is double that of the broader market, as measured by the S&P 500 index. That index is up about 12.5% this year, while Healthpeak stock has climbed just over 26%.
Finally, healthcare stocks tend to weather recessions and downturns better than stocks in many other sectors, as demand for healthcare doesn’t fall off as much as, say, consumer discretionary or technology.
So Healthpeak is a solid income stock that has also performed well this year.
