Russell 2000 Dogs With Hard Safe Yields

Dividend investors face a constant battle of choosing between dividend yield and sustainability.

Generally speaking, low yields are often sustainable but may be undesirable for investors looking to pad their portfolio with dividend income or reinvestment opportunities.

On the other end of the spectrum, high yields (let's say 5% and higher) are extremely attractive for income-seeking investors, but they're also often far more dangerous than lower yields due to a possible lack of sustainability.

Remember that dividend yields are a function of payout divided by share price, and if a stock's share price has been tumbling, its yield will rise. Thus, dividend investors have to be diligent to ensure that a yield isn't inflated solely because a company's business model is in trouble.

Attached you will find a list of stocks from the Russell 2000 with high yields. Most of them have free cashflow yield exceeding the dividend yield.

25 Stocks Increased Dividends Last Week

Stocks with dividend hikes from last week originally published at “long-term-investments.blogspot.com”. Last week, 25 companies announced to raise their dividend distributions to shareholders. Many REITs and closed-end funds are on the list of the growth stocks.

My favorite is General Mills. GIS increased its dividends by 15.2 percent. That’s a pretty good value in my view especially when you consider that General Mills is not a fast growing stock. I also put shares of GIS into my Dividend Yield Passive Income Portfolio. With the latest hike, the current yield is back above the 3 percent mark.

Another stock with monthly paying dividends is Realty Income. It seems ambitious how fast they grow dividends. The latest hike was 0.2 percent on a monthly basis. The dividend payments of Realty Income are still higher than the earnings per share income – How long could this go on?

From 25 stocks with dividend growth from last week are 15 with a dividend growth of more than 10 percent. The average dividend growth amounts to 34.58 percent. Linked is a full free list of all companies and funds with some price ratios to compare.

Below the results are 4 High-Yields; 13 companies have a current buy or better rating.
