[ad_1] Image source: Getty Images The UK is home to hundreds of quality dividend stocks. And while valuations have generally been rising this year, not all FTSE 350 constituents have been so fortunate. In fact, Foresight Solar Fund (LSE:FSFL) is now one of the highest-yielding income stocks in the index after its shares have taken a near-20% tumble since the start of 2024.
