  • FTSE 100 Correction Sparks Interest in Ultra-High-Yield Income Stocks
    April 5, 2026, 12:22 AM EDT. The FTSE 100 has entered correction territory with a 10%+ drop, pushing dividend yields above 5% for 15 stocks, making them attractive compared to savings accounts. Legal & General leads with an 8.55% yield, followed by Standard Life at 7.85%, M&G at 7.2%, and Aviva at 6.3%. Real estate investment trusts (Reits) like Land Securities Group, Londonmetric Property, and British Land offer yields above 6%. Landsec, a major UK property owner, faces short-term challenges from inflation and geopolitical tensions but offers a low price-to-earnings ratio of 11.3 and high dividend yield at 7.2%. This could be a rare buying opportunity amid ongoing market volatility, though risks from protracted conflicts and borrowing costs remain high.
