Highest Paying Dividend Stocks in 2020
Several metrics matter for investors
looking for the best dividend stocks to buy and hold in 2020. For example, dividend
stability reflects a long and steady track record of payouts, while dividend
growth points to a company in sound financial health, working hard to make its
stock more attractive to new and existing income investors. Also, a company
with stable earnings is more likely to pay steady, and possibly rising
dividends. The dividend payout ratio (dividend per share divided by earnings
per share) can help the investor assess whether the dividend is sustainable,
whereas a ratio greater than 100% may warn of a potential cut.
