I screened the capital markets by high yields stocks with a low payout ratio
of less than 40 percent of the current total earnings per share. If the company
doesn’t need much money to finance growth or repay debt, the dividends should be
increased by the company in the mid-term. In order to eliminate such stocks with
a low capitalization and trading volume, I decided to list only those stocks with
a higher market capitalization of more than USD 2 billion. Twelve companies fulfilled the mentioned criteria of which three have a double-digit yield.
Here are my favorite
