Top International Dividend Stocks

For several months now, I have been able to put together lists of top international stocks mostly sorting them in terms of dividend yields. We did take a deeper look at some of those names in greater detail such as Vodafone (VOD) while also adding a stock with great international exposure in Aflac (AFL) to both the Ultimate Sustainable Dividend Portfolio and one of the 4 stocks that I picked in this year’s stock stock picking competition. I’ve written about a critical aspect of dividend investing in the past which are more critical than ever when looking at international dividend stocks.

While there are also many concerns about many of these companies which have been at the top of previous international rankings but also US ones (with FTR at the very top), many of these companies pay high dividends that are unfortunately not sustainable. I think it’s critical to consider the long term perspectives for these companies before starting to buy them, as I had done when looking into Vodafone (VOD).
