Urgent Update: 2 High-Yield TSX Stocks for Immediate Income

UPDATE: In a crucial market moment, Canadian retirees and dividend investors are being urged to consider two high-yield TSX stocks for their Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) portfolios. As of now, the TSX is nearing record highs, making it essential to secure businesses that can maintain consistent dividend payments amid looming economic uncertainty.

Enbridge (TSX:ENB), currently trading at around $61 per share, presents a lucrative opportunity with a robust dividend yield of 6.1%. This major player in oil and natural gas transmission is responsible for transporting approximately 30% of Canada’s and the United States’ oil and 20% of the natural gas utilized by American households and businesses. Just recently, Enbridge expanded its portfolio with a $14 billion acquisition of three natural gas utilities in the United States, positioning itself as the largest natural gas utility operator in North America.

Enbridge is also undertaking an ambitious $28 billion capital program, targeting higher revenue and profits in the coming years, which should support ongoing dividend growth. Impressively, the company has increased its dividend for 30 consecutive years, making it a reliable choice for passive income.

Meanwhile, Bank of Nova Scotia (TSX:BNS) is trading near $76 per share, down from a 12-month high of $80. As the bank pivots its strategy, focusing on growth investments in the U.S. and Canada, it is shedding its Latin American operations. Recently, the bank acquired a 14.9% stake in KeyCorp, a U.S. regional bank, enhancing its expansion potential in the lucrative U.S. market.

The board of Bank of Nova Scotia has just raised its quarterly dividend by $0.04 to $1.10 per share, providing investors with a solid 5.8% dividend yield. As the bank continues to streamline operations, the potential for growth remains significant.

Both Enbridge and Bank of Nova Scotia offer attractive dividends that are expected to grow. For investors seeking to enhance their portfolios with passive income, these stocks should be prioritized.

Impactful decisions made today could shape the financial futures of many Canadians. With the TSX showing resilience, now is the time to act. Stay informed as these developments unfold and consider the potential of these promising stocks for your TFSA portfolio.
