Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, and no plans to initiate any positions within the next 72 hours.

Stocks with a market capitalization of more than $2 billion offer generally lower risks and have a lower volatility than stocks stock with a smaller capitalization. Further, the volatility rises if the dividend yield is very high. But a high yield does not mean that the dividend is not sustained.

What if we can find some stocks with a high yield and a very high EPS growth in order to make sure that the dividend payment is hedged in the long-run? Five years ahead, a growth of more than 20 percent yearly leads to earnings that are 2.5 times higher than the current value. However, I screened the capital market by stocks with a market capitalization of at least $2 billion as well as dividend yield of more than 5 percent.
