Dividends4Life: 3 Attractive Income Stocks Whose Dividends Could Double

Dividend Growth Stocks News

Dividend stocks can be the foundation of a great retirement portfolio. Not only do the payments put money in your pocket, which can help hedge against any dips in the stock market, but they're usually a sign of a financially sound company. Dividends also give investors a painless opportunity to reinvest in a stock, thus compounding gains over time. However, not all income stocks live up to their full potential.

Using the payout ratio -- i.e., the percentage of profits a company returns to its shareholders as dividends -- we can get a good read on whether or not a company has room to increase its dividend. Payout ratios between 50% and 75% are ideal. Here are three income stocks with payout ratios currently below 50% that could potentially double dividend payments: Archer Daniels Midland (NYSE:ADM), Foot Locker (NYSE:FL) and Goodyear Tire & Rubber (NASDAQ:GT).
