12 High Yield Stocks With Additional Payout Potential

Big dividends are a wonderful instrument with which to increase your private income. Even better is if the dividends and at least your income grow above the inflation rate.

I screened the capital markets by high yield 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 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.
