The stocks on our list also have capital gain potential in addition to yields that should remain high
SmallCapPower | October 24, 2016: Generally, stocks that have higher dividend yields tend to be those with fewer growth opportunities. So instead of sitting on large amounts of cash, they pay it out to the shareholders in the form of a dividend. That being said, the stocks on our list today all have high dividend yields, but have also experienced good share price appreciation, with net income increasing year over year by at least 25%, which could lead to an increase in the dividend payout.
