20 Stocks With Sustainable Dividend Growth Potential And Yields Up To 5.17%

Did you ever wonder why some companies pay dividends while others don't? 

There are several factors that influence whether or not a company pays a dividend and how much it chooses to pay. 

While there are too many possible factors to list here, these are some of the most influential.

- Payout Ratio
- Debt Level
- Growth (growing profits)
- Economic Environment
- Busines Model
- Less need of investment

Dividend payments are very complicated. These are a few hundrets that pay dividends regular over decades. A fewer number of stocks have grown dividends over decades.

Income stability is one of the top factors in determining dividend policies. Specifically, established companies with stable, predictable income streams are more likely to pay dividends than companies with growing or volatile income.

Newer and rapidly growing companies rarely pay dividends, as they prefer to invest their profits back into the company to fuel even more future growth. And, companies with unstable revenue streams often choose not to pay dividends, or pay small dividends in order to make sure the payout will be sustainable.

It looks terrible to investors when companies are forced to suspend or reduce dividend payments, so most like to err on the side of caution when deciding to implement a new dividend, waiting for several years of stable profits before doing so.

I think that a comibation of dividend growth on a sustainable dividend output could give all interest groups of the company large benefits.

Attached I've compiled a couple of great dividend stocks with a big potential to hike dividends in the future.

Here are my 10 favorite stocks from the screen in detail...
