Best Yielding Industrial Shares

Highest-Yielding Industrial Stocks By Fool. The power of dividend investing is pretty well-known these days. Higher-yielding stocks tend to offer higher returns over time than low- or no-yield stocks, according to research from Jeremy Siegel and others. In fact, the 20 best-performing survivor stocks from the original S&P 500 in 1957 are all dividend payers.

I constructed a screen to find some promising high-yield, low-risk industrial and defense companies for further research. I made sure the stocks met the following criteria:

Market cap > $1 billion.
Payout ratio < 60%. Three-year dividend growth > 0%.

Here are the best yielding industrial stocks:
