About this list
Dividend stocks pay you cash regardless of price swings. This list ranks the highest yielders that also pass a basic quality and leverage check, so the yield is more likely to be sustainable.
Important caveat
A very high yield can signal a coming dividend cut, not generosity. Always check the payout ratio and earnings trend before buying for income.
