On CAPS, 96% of the 51 members who have rated Apollo Commercial believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.
Just last week, one of those Fools, All-Star callumturcan, tapped the stock as a particularly attractive income opportunity:
[D]ividend yield of 9.2% with a payout ratio of 85%. This stock is a dividend gold mine, and I expect that they could easily pass on a larger dividend as they have minimal debt and are expected to grow their earnings by 7% over the next few years. I'm bullish and plan on buying some shares in this REIT.
If you want market-thumping returns, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Of course, despite a strong five-star rating, Apollo Commercial may not be your top choice.
