3 Ultra-High-Yield Dividend Stocks With Sustainable Payouts
Growth stocks might be getting all the hype of late, but it's dividend stocks that have historically done a lot of the market's heavy lifting.
Back in 2013, J.P. Morgan Asset Management released a report that compared the performance of companies that initiated a dividend and grew their payout to non-dividend-paying stocks over a four-decade span (1972-2012). The dividend stocks averaged an annualized gain of 9.5% over the analyzed time frame. Meanwhile, public companies that didn't pay a dividend clawed their way to a meager annualized gain of 1.6% over four decades. All told, dividend stocks delivered an aggregate 19-fold outperformance relative to non-dividend stocks.
