A Reduced Payout Could Be Incoming for These 3 High-Yield Dividend Stocks
Every investor loves a juicy dividend payout, but not all high-yield dividend stocks are created equal. It's important for dividend investors to track their stocks' payout ratios so they can be assured that a company has enough money to continue funding its dividend. Often, companies in declining industries or those that have adopted poor strategies can be forced to cut their dividends, as we saw with General Electric recently. Some companies may resort to borrowing money to fund dividends they can no longer afford to pay out of free cash flow.
With that in mind, let's take a look at three other high-yield dividends that could soon get slashed.
