Inflation is at its highest level in 40 years. The consumer price index (CPI) surged 7.9% over the last 12 months, the biggest spike since 1982. Unfortunately, the inflation rate might not cool off anytime soon, given the persistent supply chain issues and spiking energy prices following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
This elevated level of inflation is painful as a consumer. However, some companies benefit from inflation, which can boost returns for their investors. Two inflation-fighting stocks to consider are Brookfield Infrastructure ( BIPC 1.77% )( BIP 1.85% ) and W.P. Carey ( WPC 0.09% ). Both offer attractive dividends along with inflation-powered earnings upside.

This is a great long term investment. Currently undervalued with a nice dividend.
Brookfield offers a great play on diverse infrastructure assets across the world. It owns stakes in timberland, railroads, ports, power transmission assets, and coal terminals -- all the necessities to keep a modern global economy running. And that's the appeal. Brookfield invests in high-quality assets that have high barriers to entry. These assets offer annuity-like income streams with the chance for capital appreciation, too.
