The rapid spread of the virus in the absence of a cure or vaccination raises investor concern about the U.S. economic outlook. Millions will be facing unemployment and businesses have to strive hard to address liquidity and solvency issues. On Mar 31, the Conference Board reported that the index of consumer confidence fell to 120 in March from a revised 132.6 in February, a 32-month low. Consumers are rapidly losing confidence in the economy as the deadly virus wreaks havoc.
Investors have been looking for safe investment options as the economic impact of coronavirus keeps growing. High-yield stocks are in focus in times of crisis like the current one, as high dividend payout ratio of these companies will offer a constant income stream.

Now, with loans available at cheaper rates, the flow of money is expected to continue at these dividend-paying companies.
