PRS - Barron's 100 Most Sustainable Companies Include 2 Ideal Dividend Dogs

• Barron’s fifth-annual (February 11, 2022) ranking of the most-sustainable (M-S) companies "took 1,000 largest publicly-traded companies by market-value, then ranked-each by-performance for five key-constituencies: shareholders, employees, customers, community, and the-planet."
• Intel sprang to No. 1 from No. 47, last year, having set 2030 sustainability targets: Run 100% on renewable energy; be water-positive (funding water projects that restore more fresh-water than Intel consumes); achieve zero-waste.
• As of 2/14/22 data from YCharts, the top-ten of 78 M-S dividend-paying companies ranged 3.33%-4.81% by annual yield, and ranged 38.14%-76.11% per broker-estimated target-price-upsides.
• Top ten February M-S dividend dogs, INTC, MRK, TXN, CMI, BBY, NEP, VFC, APD, BLK, and GPS ranged 18.56% to 42.43% in one-year broker-estimated net gains.
• $5K invested in the lowest-priced five of ten top-yield M-S company holdings showed 19.83% more net gain than from $5K invested in all ten. Little (lower-priced) stocks led the M-S dividend pack per February 14 data.
