Recognizing that one day “Magnificent 7” stocks like Apple were once small cap stocks (those with market caps between $250 million and $2 billion), FTSE Russell, a subsidiary of the London Stock Exchange, created the Russell 2000 Index. Composed of the lower market-cap 66% of the Russell 3000, it is considered the small-cap stock equivalent of the S&P 500 as a benchmark for analysts.
The following 15 stocks are the highest yielding Russell 2000 stocks based on market price at the time of this writing. As one might expert, the industry sector of high-yielding stocks is dominated by REITs. The only two exceptions are digital and printing company Xerox and B&G Foods, Inc.
