As the second quarter earnings season wraps up, investors looking to earn a passive income in order to balance out high inflation can invest in dividend stocks.
With the consumer price index up 9.1% over the past 12 months, consumers are feeling their savings being eaten away by inflation.
After experiencing an abnormal period of high growth, investors will have to turn to different methods of investing now that the Federal Reserve has initiated raising interest rates.
A simple solution to this problem could be stocks that are offering double-digit yields.

ZIM Integrated Shipping Services is offering an annual dividend yield of 44.67% or $22.35 per share, which is uncommon as it closed a $6 million dollar Series A financing round, making a capital investment in Data Science Consulting Group, a leading technology company specializing in artificial intelligence-based products, solutions and services.
ZIM’s unique strategy is digital-oriented and asset-light, providing container shipping and related services in Israel and internationally, focusing on select markets where they have competitive advantages and are able to maximize their market position.
