I depend 15 shares within the FTSE 250 with forecast dividends of 8% or above. And there are solely 5 within the FTSE 100 with yields that huge (and a kind of, Vodafone, will slash it subsequent yr).
However isn’t the FTSE 100 presupposed to be the index for prime dividend revenue, whereas the FTSE 250 is the place to go for development?
Issues positive look the wrong way up. And I believe the market might be undervaluing FTSE 250 shares, by rather a lot.
High of the picks?
Can supermarkets carry on incomes revenue for shareholders for many years to return? Are actual property funding trusts (REITs) struggling unfairly from as we speak’s property downturn?
I say sure to each of these. And that would make Grocery store Revenue REIT (LSE: SUPR) an undervalued purchase for my Shares and Shares ISA.
It’s slumped since 2022, down 25% prior to now 5 years. However the forecast dividend yield is as much as a sizzling 8.1%.

What it does
The enterprise mannequin is kind of easy. The belief invests in high-quality grocery store property, and earns rental revenue. And it goals for capital development too, as property values hopefully rise long run.
The most important danger I see is in a ballooning share depend, because the belief has raised fairness finance. There’s been a whole lot of dilution, and fears for extra of it might preserve the share worth weak.
Oh, and there’s been a good bit of debt financing too, as is frequent with REITs.
However that huge dividend yield, from an organization that goals to “safe, inflation-linked, long run revenue from grocery property within the UK” might make the danger price taking.
Extra FTSE 250 yields
I’ve my eye on ITV too. It’s forecast dividend yield, at 6.3%, is exterior the 8% membership.
However forecasts present robust cowl by earnings within the subsequent few years. And the mooted earnings development might drop the price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio beneath 9 by 2026.
After an increase in 2024, the shares may look absolutely valued on historic earnings. And we actually gained’t see if ITV has pulled off a restoration for some time but.
However ITV joins my record of 2024 dividend inventory candidates.
Altering winds
Others embody Greencoat UK Wind. The shares are down from 2022’s peaks. However which means a forecast 7.2% yield.
Who’ll win the renewable vitality race is a giant query. Nevertheless it’s a giant enterprise, and Greencoat is in with a shout. And we might see sustainable revenue development from 2025.
Ahead yields above 8% embody these from funding corporations abrdn (9.3%) and Ashmore Group (8.5%). And housebuilder Crest Nicholson Holdings presents 8.1%.
This appears like a good time for FTSE 250 dividend traders.
