These companies usually are well established, with stable earnings and a long track record of distributing some of those earnings back to shareholders. These distributions are known asdividends, and may be paid out in the form of cash or as additional stock. Most dividends are paid out on a quarterly basis, but some are paid out monthly, annually, or even once in the form of a special dividend. Whiledividend stocksare known for the regularity of their dividend payments, in difficult economic times even those dividends may be cut in order to preserve cash.One useful measure for investors to gauge the sustainability of a company's dividend payments is thedividend payout ratio. The ratio is a measure of total dividends divided by net income, which tells investors how much of the company's net income is being returned to shareholders in the form of dividends versus how much the company is retaining to invest in further growth. If the ratio exceeds 100% or is negative (meaning net income is negative), this indicates the company may be borrowing to pay dividends. In these two cases, the dividends are at a relatively greater risk of being cut.Below, we look at the top 5 dividend stocks in the Russell 1000 byforward dividend yield, excluding companies with payout ratios that are either negative or in excess of 100%.

These companies usually are well established, with stable earnings and a long track record of distributing some of those earnings back to shareholders. These distributions are known asdividends, and may be paid out in the form of cash or as additional stock. Most dividends are paid out on a quarterly basis, but some are paid out monthly, annually, or even once in the form of a special dividend. Whiledividend stocksare known for the regularity of their dividend payments, in difficult economic times even those dividends may be cut in order to preserve cash.One useful measure for investors to gauge the sustainability of a company's dividend payments is thedividend payout ratio. The ratio is a measure of total dividends divided by net income, which tells investors how much of the company's net income is being returned to shareholders in the form of dividends versus how much the company is retaining to invest in further growth. If the ratio exceeds 100% or is negative (meaning net income is negative), this indicates the company may be borrowing to pay dividends. In these two cases, the dividends are at a relatively greater risk of being cut.Below, we look at the top 5 dividend stocks in the Russell 1000 byforward dividend yield, excluding companies with payout ratios that are either negative or in excess of 100%. The stocks below are split with regard to performance relative to the Russell 1000, with two outperforming and three underperforming.
