Dividend investors often prioritize yield, but sustainable growth in payouts is crucial for long-term success. American Express (NYSE: AXP) is notable for its modest dividend yield of just under 1% while increasing its payouts at a double-digit rate and prioritizing share repurchases. With a low payout ratio and strong earnings growth, the stock shows promise, despite concerns about its valuation after a 25% rise last year. Investors must consider whether the current price justifies the potential for continued growth.
