High-yield stocks that pay steadily growing and relatively high dividends tend to do quite well over time. The current average dividend yield of the S&P 500 is 1.92%, while the long-term average is 2.09%. After the financial crisis of 2008, the long-term yield value decreased from a peak of 3.86% to around 2% where it is today.

The current average dividend yield is up from a year ago when it was 1.76%. That’s a 9% difference. So finding high-yield stocks that can consistently boost their payouts more than a time 9% and have higher dividend yields than 2% should be the goal for income investors. Such companies tend to have higher than average payout ratios. They pay out the average 35% of earnings or better to investors.

Below are 5 stocks selling with higher than average dividend yields and whose dividends have been rising 15% or more per year. The companies have higher than average payout ratios.

None of these stocks are turnarounds. They have been growing consistently for the past several years. You can rely on them to continue to increase their dividends at these rates.

Broadcom’s dividends have been growing consistently at a high rate over the past 3 years (+74%) and five years (+55%). Look for AVGO stock to follow this consistent trend.
