Six high-yield dividend stocks risk cuts as asset sales to fund payouts run out.

Six companies with high dividend yields are at risk of cutting their payouts because they have been relying on selling assets to fund dividends, which is unsustainable long-term. Firms like Icahn Enterprises, Whirlpool, VF Corp, Newell Brands, and Pitney Bowes have depleted cash reserves and face declining operating cash flow, making continued dividends uncertain. Each sale reduces the company's asset base, and without sufficient free cash flow, dividends may be cut. Investors should watch operating cash flow closely and view asset sales as temporary fixes rather than permanent solutions.

VF Corp, one of the companies mentioned, has a market cap of $5.67 billion and a dividend yield of 2.5% as of Sep 29, 2026 19:45 WIB on Pluang. The stock price stands at USD 14.42 with no change in the last day, and trading volume reached 12,661,688 shares. Pluang data shows balanced order activity with 50% Sell and 50% Buy, indicating mixed investor sentiment despite concerns about dividend sustainability.
