1 High-Yield Dividend Stock That Wants to Power Up Your Portfolios

• Clearway Energy (CWEN) is trading at a new 3-year high and has strong technical momentum.

• Shares are up more than 50% over the past year.

• Plus, CWEN pays a dividend yielding 4.6%.

• I see further upside potential in CWEN, with its generous dividend and technical strength making it a compelling consideration.

Valued at $7.93 billion, Clearway Energy (CWEN) owns, operates, and acquires renewable and conventional generation and thermal infrastructure projects. The company offers natural gas and dual fired, solar and wind generation and distribution services. It serves commercial businesses, universities, hospitals, and government companies.

I found today’s Chart of the Day by using Barchart’s powerful screening functions to sort for stocks with the highest technical buy signals; superior current momentum in both strength and direction; and a Trend Seeker “buy” signal. I then used Barchart’s Flipcharts feature to review the charts for consistent price appreciation. CWEN checks those boxes. Since the Trend Seeker issued a new “Buy” on Jan. 16, shares are up 9.06%.

Additional disclosure: The Barchart Chart of the Day highlights stocks that are experiencing exceptional current price appreciation. They are not intended to be buy recommendations as these stocks are extremely volatile and speculative. Should you decide to add one of these stocks to your investment portfolio it is highly suggested you follow a predetermined diversification and moving stop loss discipline that is consistent with your personal investment risk tolerance.
