Barron's 2025 list of 100 top sustainable companies, ranked by Calvert's ESG criteria, highlights 82 dividend payers ideal for yield-based analysis. Top-ten October 2025 Sustainable dividend-dogs, Regions Financial, Hormel, Air Products, PPG, Interpublic, Keurig Dr. Pepper, Stanley Black & Decker, Robert Half, Avient, and LKQ, ranged 24.25% 49.98% in one-year net-gains. $5k invested in the lowest-priced five of ten top-yield Sustainable companies showed 12.38% more net gain than from $5k invested in all ten per October 10 data.

LKQ Corporation faces ongoing struggles, with shares down 50% from their highs and organic sales declining despite a history of growth through M&A. LKQ's 2024 guidance has been repeatedly cut, with organic sales now expected to fall and adjusted earnings forecast to come down to a midpoint of $3.15 per share. A recent divestment of the self-service segment will modestly reduce net debt, but leverage remains elevated and free cash flow is weak.

Fourteen of the highest-yielding, 'safer' S&P 500 dividend stocks are currently attractively priced, with free cash flow supporting their payouts. Top ten S&P 500 dividend 'dogs' are projected to deliver 23.93% to 38.57% net gains by October 2026, based on analyst targets. Stocks like CAG, VZ, DOC, BMY, KVUE, CPB, UDR, VTRS, KIM, TFC, KEY, HPQ, T, and RF meet the ideal of dividends from $1K invested exceeding share price.
