By history's standards, a 3% dividend yield shouldn't seem suspiciously high. U.S. shares yielded an average of 3.7% between 1950 and 2000, and much more during earlier periods. Today, however, it's worth asking: What's wrong with these 3% yielders? That's because nearly one-quarter of the country's largest 500 publicly traded firms pay nothing. Among the rest, the average yield is just 2.2%.
Shares that pay more than 3%, in other words, ought to attract enough buyers to push their prices higher and their yields lower -- unless investors have good reason to stay away. The companies below face challenges that seem manageable, and their sales and profits have increased of late.
