Most people think of dividend stocks as a defensive move, providing a layer of protection against downturns in the market. And they can do just that. But what dividend stocks really are, at base, is an income source. The dividend payment provides an income stream that is independent of the share price, and gives investors a steady flow of ready cash.

Dividend cash can be used for reinvesting, effectively compounding itself in the long term, or to meet immediate needs; it has no strings attached. The best dividend stocks will feature one of two attributes: a reliable long-term payment history or a high forward yield. The very best will feature both.

Keeping all of this in mind, we've opened up the TipRanks database to find two dividend stocks offering yields of 10% or more, with Wall Street analysts backing both names and pointing to double-digit upside potential. Here are the details.

The RMR Group (RMR)

For the first stock on our list of dividend champs, we'll look at RMR, an asset management company focused on the real estate sector. While dividend investors often gravitate toward real estate investment trusts, or REITs, RMR operates differently. The firm manages a diverse portfolio of publicly traded REITs and real estate operating companies, offering investors exposure to the commercial real estate (CRE) market.

RMR's managed portfolio spans 48 U.S. states, along with Ontario and Puerto Rico, and includes assets across industrial, office, medical office, life sciences, credit, retail, residential, and senior living sectors – a wide cross-section of the CRE landscape.

As of December 31, 2025, RMR reported $37.2 billion in assets under management, with approximately 1,900 properties in its portfolio. These assets are supported by a network of about 30 offices and a team of nearly 900 real estate professionals.

The most recent results covered fiscal 1Q26, corresponding to the fourth quarter of calendar year 2025. During that period, revenue came in at $180.4 million, down nearly 18% year-over-year and just over $10 million below expectations. Adjusted earnings, however, reached $0.20 per share, ahead of consensus by $0.02 per share.

On the dividend front, RMR last declared a quarterly payment of $0.45 per common share on April 9, equivalent to $1.80 annually and a forward yield of 10.8%.

John Massocca, a 5-star analyst from B. Riley, covers this stock and lays out a compelling case for buying the shares.

"On a company-specific level, RMR seems well-positioned to see another set of incentive fee payments from managed REITs based on calendar 2026 relative stock performance, adding to the $23.6M collected for calendar year 2025… Looking at the broader operating landscape, we think the current macro environment could provide strong conditions for private capital fundraising, a major potential driver of AUM and fee revenue growth, and the catalyst for recent on-balance sheet real estate investments. While the environment for attracting private fund investments remains highly competitive, we believe headwinds for certain types of competing funds, particularly private lending, might make RMR's potential real estate dedicated funds relatively more attractive," Massocca opined.

"Essentially," the analyst added, "if private/semi-liquid fund investors seek to limit exposure to investments vulnerable to AI disruption or other headwinds, they could move capital towards hard asset investors like RMR. As such, we feel RMR stock has compelling upside."

These comments support Massocca's Buy rating on RMR, while his price target of $21 points to a one-year upside potential of ~24%. Add in the dividend yield, and the one-year return on this stock can reach 34%. (To watch Massocca's track record, click here)

RMR has slipped under the radar a bit and only has 2 recent analyst reviews. They both agree, however, that it's a stock to buy, making the Moderate Buy analyst consensus unanimous. The shares are selling for $16.96 and their $19.75 average price target indicates room for a ~16% upside over the next 12 months. (See RMR stock forecast)
