High-Yield Dividend Stocks: $10K Invested in Kinder Morgan, 3M, Clearway Could Generate $5K Income in 7 Years

Investing $10,000 equally into Kinder Morgan, 3M, and Clearway Energy could generate over $5,000 in dividend income in 7 years due to their high yields.

Kinder Morgan's 7% dividend yield is attractive, though long-term natural gas demand is uncertain.

3M's stock is beaten down, but its 6.8% dividend yield looks safe based on adjusted earnings guidance.

Clearway Energy pays a 5.3% dividend yield, has a strong project pipeline, and targets 5-8% annual dividend growth through 2026.

All 3 stocks provide relatively safe, high-yielding dividends for passive income investors, though their businesses face challenges.
