5 Best Dividend Stocks With Sustainable Growth

5 Sustainable Dividends for Your Portfolio By Fool. In my analysis today, I looked for profitable companies that pay dividends over 5%, pay out less than 100% of earnings as dividends, and have an ROE over 20%. I narrowed the list to five companies that meet all these criteria and have a sustainable growth rate over 5%. I feel that they would be a welcome addition to any portfolio. Although the companies are in various industries, they compare favorably with one another.
