Here is the full list!
There are many names that are the same as they were a few months ago but some changes are surprising. For example, how did Mattel Inc (MAT) end up in the top 5 in terms of dividend yield? Here is the stock over the past year:
Why the decline? Fundamentals have also been declining:
Just look at diluted earnings per share in the past 12-18 months.

Dividend Yield Is Only One Measurement
As you surely know, having a top paying name is absolutely great but there are many others things to consider. Holding a stock that can increase or at a minimum, hold its dividend payout steady is critical if you`re trying to build a sustainable portfolio. My business partner and I have a website dedicated to finding such stocks with sample portfolios and more. I’d love you to give us a try here🙂
