3 Overlooked Dividend Stocks With Yields Above 5% Investors Should Watch

This article walks through three stocks from the Dividend Powerhouses screener that stand out for investors who want income to work harder.

The three stocks highlighted next are just a sample of the ideas that clear this income screen, with the full results surfacing 41 more companies with similarly compelling dividend stories that are not covered here.

MONY Group (LSE:MONY)

MONY Group runs some of the UK’s best known price comparison and consumer finance sites, including MoneySuperMarket, MoneySavingExpert, Quidco and TravelSupermarket, helping households cut costs on bills, travel and everyday spending. It generates most of its £448 million revenue from Insurance at about £237 million, with additional contributions from Money at £111 million, Cashback at £49 million and Home Services at £55 million, plus smaller segment adjustments. The company sits in mid cap territory with a market value of about £1 billion.

Income investors may be drawn to MONY Group’s 6.28% dividend yield, supported by high current profitability and a business model built on recurring consumer switching activity. The company is investing heavily in digital and AI tools and membership offers such as SuperSaveClub. These initiatives may support efficiency and customer retention over time. A recent buyback that retired nearly 2% of shares also affects per share metrics. On the other hand, there is pressure from higher marketing spend, a shift into some lower margin contracts and regulatory limits in areas such as energy. These factors reduce the scope for complacency. Investors who are considering dividend stocks and are interested in businesses focused on operational improvements alongside shareholder distributions may find MONY Group of interest.

MONY Group’s 6.28% yield and expanding digital toolkit could be masking a much bigger story about how this business funds dividends and buybacks. Get the full picture in the MONY Group financial health report

Foresight Group Holdings (LSE:FSG)

Foresight Group Holdings is an infrastructure and private equity manager that channels capital into renewable energy projects, social and digital infrastructure, and smaller private companies across the UK, Europe and Australia. It generates about £114.8 million from Real Assets and £50.1 million from Private Equity, giving investors exposure to long term fee income from both physical infrastructure and unlisted businesses. The company sits in mid cap territory with a market value of about £547.4 million.

Income focused investors may be interested in Foresight Group Holdings because it combines recent earnings momentum with structural themes such as energy transition and real assets. Revenue reached £164.92 million in the year to March 2026 and net income was £42.83 million, while buybacks have retired just over 2% of the share count since April 2025. However, higher administrative costs, reliance on performance fees and concentration in UK and European infrastructure could strain margins if fundraising or asset performance cools. Investors who see potential in fee based real assets managers despite those pressures may find Foresight Group worth a closer look.

Foresight Group’s fee engine sits at the crossroads of real assets and private equity, yet many investors still treat it like a simple fund manager. Step into the analysis report for Foresight Group Holdings to understand the crucial twist in the story.

Multitude (LSE:0R4W)

Multitude AG runs a fully digital lending and banking platform that offers consumer loans, SME working capital facilities and online savings products, mainly in Finland. Most revenue comes from Consumer Banking at about €105 million, with SME Banking contributing around €15 million and Wholesale Banking about €12 million. The stock sits firmly in small cap territory with a market value close to €113 million.

Multitude’s appeal for dividend focused investors lies in a combination of solid long term earnings growth, a low P/E multiple relative to peers, and improving profitability with net margins around 15.5%. At the same time, the company leans entirely on higher risk wholesale funding rather than customer deposits, has an uneven dividend history, and recent quarterly earnings were affected by one off items and softer net income. With experienced management, an ongoing board refresh, and plans to redeem up to €50 million of perpetual notes in 2026, there is a lot going on beneath the headline yield that investors may want to understand before deciding how this digital lender fits into an income portfolio.

Multitude’s low P/E and solid net margins suggest the market may be misreading how this lender funds growth and dividends. Before that perception shifts, scan the analysis report for Multitude for the twist most investors are missing
