Why it matters
Moderate yields backed by strong profitability. Income screens are most useful when yield is paired with payout quality, balance-sheet strength and a dividend record that can survive weak markets.

Growing Dividend Payers (2–4% Yield)
Moderate yields backed by strong profitability.
A rising dividend often beats a high static one. This collection screens for a moderate 2–4% yield paired with a strong return on equity — the profitability that funds future dividend growth — ranked by yield.
What to check next
Compare yield with dividend cover, free cash flow, debt maturity and whether the payout is supported by recurring cash generation.
Main risk
The highest yields often appear just before a dividend cut, so a big yield should be treated as a prompt for deeper work rather than comfort.
