### Sustainable High-Yield Dividend Stocks

| Symbol | Security Name | Sector | Industry | Dividend Yield | Payout Ratio | Market Cap | P/E (TTM) | 1M Return | 6M Return | % from 150D SMA | Comments |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| WB | Weibo Corporation | Communication Services | Internet Content & Information | 9.64% | 35.90% | 1.555e+09 | 4.4 | -6.50% | -21.90% | -18.80% | Chinese social-media platform paying a variable, earnings-linked dividend; the high headline yield reflects a depressed ADR price as much as generosity, so income durability is tied to Beijing's ad cycle and any regulatory surprises. |
| CAG | ConAgra Brands, Inc. | Consumer Staples | Packaged Foods | 9.17% | 51.00% | 6.378e+09 | 5.6 | -17.40% | -11.90% | -8.30% | Packaged-food staple facing a tough protein/private-label cycle; the payout is near the screen ceiling, so the bull case rests on cost savings and brand reinvestment rather than volume growth. |
| JBS | JBS N.V. | Consumer Staples | Packaged Foods | 8.57% | 52.90% | 1.25e+10 | 10.9 | -13.80% | -29.00% | -13.70% | Global protein processor with cyclical earnings; dividend policy tracks the beef cycle, meaning the current payout looks comfortable in a good margin year but is not a fixed commitment. |
| HAFN | Hafnia Limited | Industrials | Marine Shipping | 7.68% | 51.80% | 5.487e+09 | 11.4 | 22.00% | 42.30% | 36.10% | Product-tanker operator, one of the few high yielders with genuine momentum — payouts are pegged to shipping rates and are really a variable return of capital that shrinks when freight cools. |
| WEN | Wendy's Company (The) | Consumer Discretionary | Restaurants | 6.86% | 49.40% | 1.167e+09 | 9.3 | -25.70% | -8.60% | -15.70% | — |
| EIX | Edison International | Utilities | Utilities - Regulated Electric | 6.42% | 30.00% | 2.074e+10 | 5.6 | -2.40% | -24.90% | -21.90% | Regulated utility with a well-covered payout but meaningful exposure to California wildfire liabilities; the dividend is defensive, yet headline litigation risk can derail the stock independently of fundamentals. |
| SFD | Smithfield Foods, Inc. | Consumer Staples | Packaged Foods | 6.30% | 47.40% | 7.426e+09 | 7 | -15.80% | -31.00% | -22.40% | — |
| VICI | VICI Properties Inc. | Real Estate | REIT - Diversified | 5.96% | 51.70% | 2.494e+10 | 8.8 | -9.90% | -15.10% | -13.80% | Experiential-property REIT with long triple-net leases (casinos, golf); rent escalators make the payout highly visible, but investor sentiment drags with the broader rate-sensitive real estate complex. |
| WHR | Whirlpool Corporation | Consumer Discretionary | Furnishings, Fixtures & Appliances | 5.94% | 31.80% | 1.976e+09 | 10 | -22.10% | -45.40% | -31.50% | — |
| HG | Hamilton Insurance Group, Ltd. | Financials | Insurance - Reinsurance | 5.86% | 36.00% | 3.366e+09 | 6 | -3.90% | 12.50% | 4.90% | Reinsurance specialist growing book value quickly; a low payout gives ample capital for buybacks and cycle reinvestment, so the yield is only part of the total-return story. |
| SLVM | Sylvamo Corporation | Materials | Paper & Paper Products | 5.54% | 55.60% | 1.291e+09 | 17.4 | -9.30% | -22.30% | -16.50% | — |
| ACGL | Arch Capital Group Ltd. | Financials | Insurance - Diversified | 5.34% | 43.10% | 3.194e+10 | 7.3 | -4.70% | -3.20% | -3.00% | Top-tier P&C and mortgage reinsurer with a fortress balance sheet; like peers, capital return leans on buybacks, and the dividend is a conservative floor rather than the main attraction. |
| VIPS | Vipshop Holdings Limited | Consumer Discretionary | Internet Retail | 5.03% | 6.10% | 6.978e+09 | 5.6 | -5.30% | -14.40% | -13.00% | Chinese discount e-tailer returning capital via a large special dividend; the low payout versus earnings signals a cash-rich balance sheet, with tariff and consumer-spending headwinds the swing factors. |
| BCE | BCE, Inc. | Communication Services | Telecom Services | 4.80% | 13.90% | 2.211e+10 | 4.1 | -14.50% | -17.20% | -14.40% | Canadian telecom incumbent with a payout its shrinking EPS can barely support — a classic income trap where leverage and a heavy capex program leave little room if competitive pricing pressure persists. |
| AES | The AES Corporation | Utilities | Utilities - Diversified | 4.72% | 55.90% | 1.064e+10 | 5.6 | 0.70% | 7.60% | 3.40% | — |
| TRN | Trinity Industries, Inc. | Industrials | Railroads | 4.71% | 40.30% | 2.082e+09 | 6.2 | -6.70% | -19.30% | -18.40% | — |

| T | AT&T Inc. | Communication Services | Telecom Services | 4.58% | 36.60% | 1.665e+11 | 8 | -6.40% | -12.20% | -1.90% | Telecom giant with a dividend now well covered after years of leverage reduction; the core question is whether fiber and wireless growth can offset legacy-line erosion. |
| TFC | Truist Financial Corporation | Financials | Banks - Regional | 4.48% | 54.50% | 5.674e+10 | 10.7 | -8.60% | 0.50% | -4.80% | Regional bank whose payout sits near the upper limit for the group; net interest margin and credit costs across a commercial loan book are the key swing variables. |
| LNC | Lincoln National Corporation | Financials | Insurance - Life | 4.47% | 30.90% | 7.715e+09 | 3.4 | -8.70% | 18.40% | 5.30% | Life insurer with volatile GAAP earnings; the modest payout reflects management's caution, and credit losses in the investment portfolio are the main risk to watch. |
| PEBO | Peoples Bancorp Inc. | Financials | Banks - Regional | 4.43% | 55.50% | 1.347e+09 | 11.4 | -5.10% | 14.50% | 3.50% | — |
| SON | Sonoco Products Company | Consumer Discretionary | Packaging & Containers | 4.39% | 21.30% | 4.819e+09 | 7.5 | -11.00% | -9.30% | -7.10% | Packaging producer digesting a large acquisition; the payout looks comfortable on cash flow but integration costs and consumer-volume weakness leave less cushion than the ratio suggests. |
| MNSO | MINISO Group Holding Limited | Consumer Discretionary | Specialty Retail | 4.26% | 17.80% | 2.584e+09 | 8.9 | -8.20% | -43.70% | -31.90% | — |

| SIRI | SiriusXM Holdings Inc. | Communication Services | Entertainment | 4.20% | 48.40% | 8.669e+09 | 10.3 | -13.40% | 10.20% | -4.40% | Satellite-radio subscription business that has pivoted hard toward capital returns; the payout is barely covered by free cash flow, and subscriber churn plus satellite capex are persistent overhangs. |
| LCII | LCI Industries | Consumer Discretionary | Recreational Vehicles | 4.17% | 45.60% | 2.013e+09 | 9.6 | -19.40% | -31.10% | -21.90% | — |

| ENR | Energizer Holdings, Inc. | Industrials | Electrical Equipment & Parts | 4.07% | 27.10% | 1.514e+09 | 18.6 | 5.70% | 39.10% | 13.20% | Battery manufacturer with strong cash generation and a low payout, leaving room for growth capex and buybacks; cash flow is sensitive to input costs and electrification demand timing. |
| CMBT | CMB.TECH NV | Energy | Oil & Gas Midstream | 4.03% | 18.00% | 4.184e+09 | 11.4 | 5.90% | 68.60% | 30.90% | — |

| FMS | Fresenius Medical Care AG | Health Care | Medical Care Facilities | 3.92% | 26.00% | 1.267e+10 | 11.6 | -1.80% | 3.30% | -1.50% | German dialysis leader with stable, recurring treatment revenue; the payout is comfortably covered and the investment case hinges on reimbursement trends and margin recovery rather than the yield itself. |
| ING | ING Group, N.V. | Financials | Banks - Diversified | 3.85% | 48.10% | 8.989e+10 | 13 | -4.40% | 46.70% | 12.80% | Dutch bank with a low payout versus earnings and a history of generous capital return; net interest income peaking and possible rate cuts are the key offsetting risk. |
| COLB | Columbia Banking System, Inc. | Financials | Banks - Regional | 3.84% | 48.30% | 8.182e+09 | 11.4 | -3.90% | 6.90% | -1.70% | — |
| BAP | Credicorp Ltd. | Financials | Banks - Regional | 3.82% | 20.60% | 3.041e+10 | 13.8 | -1.60% | 15.00% | 5.60% | — |
| CPA | Copa Holdings, S.A. | Industrials | Airlines | 3.80% | 30.90% | 6.162e+09 | 8.7 | 2.80% | 17.00% | 1.50% | Latin American airline paying excess cash as dividends; a well-covered payout today, but earnings are inherently cyclical and fuel/pricing swings can make it highly variable. |
| BLX | Bladex, Inc. Class E | Financials | Banks - Regional | 3.77% | 36.90% | 2.079e+09 | 9 | -1.10% | 11.30% | 0.80% | — |

| UL | Unilever PLC | Consumer Staples | Household & Personal Products | 3.72% | 51.30% | 1.265e+11 | 19.9 | -7.50% | 9.60% | -1.00% | Global consumer-staples compounder with a modest but growing dividend; pricing power and emerging-market exposure drive the case, with a payout near the upper end of its own comfort band. |
| OTEX | Open Text Corporation | Information Technology | Software - Application | 3.71% | 32.00% | 5.021e+09 | 8.6 | -4.70% | 1.00% | -2.90% | Enterprise-software vendor using its dividend as part of a broader capital-return tilt after a large acquisition; AI-substitution fears in software are a sentiment risk to the multiple. |
| TROW | T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. | Financials | Asset Management | 3.70% | 41.90% | 2.232e+10 | 10.5 | -3.20% | 18.90% | 1.80% | Asset manager whose earnings are tied to market levels and fund flows; the payout is well covered but client attrition to passive strategies is the structural headwind. |

### Dividend Income Takeaway

**Sustainable income, not just high yield.** This screen enforces both sides of the income equation: a yield above 3% *and* a payout ratio under 60% of earnings, which together filter out the classic yield traps — leveraged mortgage REITs and closed-end funds whose payouts aren't covered by earnings, plus names stretching to defend a dividend their cash flow can't support. The result is a genuinely diversified income list: telecoms and media, regulated utilities, regional and international banks, insurers, REITs, consumer staples and a handful of cyclical industrials.

**Sector read-through.** Financials (banks, insurers, asset managers) and Communication Services dominate the count, reflecting where cash flow and shareholder-return culture genuinely meet. Utilities such as Edison International and AES offer the most defensive payout coverage, while consumer staples (Conagra, Smithfield, Unilever) screen well on payout but face soft volume trends. The highest yields cluster in either ADR/foreign names with cyclical earnings (Weibo, JBS, Vipshop, BCE) or shipping/protein businesses (Hafnia, JBS) whose payouts are variable by design.

**How to use it.** Treat the payout ratio as the durability lens and the price trend as the timing lens. Several high yielders here are trading well below their 150-day averages, so the yield is being *paid* to compensate for weak price action; a subset (Hafnia, CMB.TECH, ING, Lincoln National) combine an intact uptrend with a covered payout and are the more balanced total-return candidates. Reinvestment and capital-return policy — not just the coupon — should drive selection from this list.
