20 Good Looking Dividend Stocks With A Broken Payment Stream

Every investor is looking for the perfect stock. A company with an impressive past performance and track record as well. When the financials looking good and valuation ratios looking attractive, that’s mostly the time to catch the investment.

The truth is that it is not the normal case to find the perfect stock that could promise you a solid and stable return with a high probability.

In the past, I've focused many of the articles on perfect dividend growth stocks that might look attractive. Today I like to show you some stocks that were perfect Dividend Champions, Contenders or Challengers but then they must cut dividends or run them flat due to a specific reason.

My main criteria are a low forward P/E, a debt-to-equity under 1 and a moderate earnings growth of 5% yearly. Attached you can find the 20 top yielding results.

Here are the 5 highest yielding results in detail...
