High dividend yields in 3 top stocks mask risks of payout cuts and financial strain.

Three well-known dividend stocks—Medical Properties Trust, Kraft Heinz, and UPS—offer high yields but show warning signs of financial stress that could threaten their payouts. Medical Properties Trust faces heavy debt and tenant risks despite dividend coverage by funds from operations. Kraft Heinz's dividend is covered by earnings, but its recent goodwill impairment and declining sales raise concerns. UPS's dividend payout recently exceeded operating cash flow, with free cash flow tight after capital expenditures and pension costs. Investors should be cautious, as these yields may not be sustainable without improvements in business fundamentals or asset sales.
