Six major industrial companies show high dividend yields by selling divisions and maintaining payouts, but their cash flow and earnings often do not support these dividends sustainably. For example, Icahn Enterprises offers a 30.9% yield but faces declining net asset value and negative operating cash flow, making its dividend risky. Others like International Paper and Dow maintain payouts despite cash flow pressures and business restructuring. Investors should be cautious, as high yields may signal dividend cuts ahead if companies cannot generate sufficient free cash flow without relying on asset sales or debt.
International Paper Company, with a market cap of $17.87 billion and a dividend yield of 5.48%, shows no price change on Pluang as of Oct 20, 2026 23:11 WIB, while Dow Inc, with a $21.73 billion market cap and a 4.65% yield, has a slight price increase of 0.18%. Honeywell International, the largest by market cap at $66.55 billion, offers a lower yield of 1.33% but sees a 1.45% price rise and 100% buy order activity on Pluang. These figures highlight varied investor responses to dividend sustainability concerns discussed in the article.
