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.


Here are the results:

Company	Dividend Yield	Payout Ratio	Return on Equity	Sustainable Growth Rate
Altria Group (NYSE: MO  )	6.20%	93%	74.80%	5.40%
AstraZeneca (NYSE: AZN  )	6.00%	44%	38.00%	21.20%
Eli Lilly (NYSE: LLY  )	5.30%	48%	38.60%	20.10%
