How to use this list
Treat the list as a starting point, not a recommendation. Open each company's page to review its financials, earnings history and news, and compare it with peers. Use the stock screener to narrow the list by valuation, size or dividend yield.
Risks to keep in mind
Very high yields can be a warning sign: a falling share price lifts the yield, and the market may be expecting a dividend cut (a "yield trap"). Check the payout ratio and cash flow before relying on the income.
