3 Dividend Stocks With Dividends Could Double

Not all income stocks live up to their full potential. Utilizing the payout ratio, or the percentage of profits a company returns in the form of a dividend to its shareholders, we can get a good bead on whether a company has room to increase its dividend. Ideally, we like to see healthy payout ratios between 50% and 75%. Here are three income stocks with payout ratios currently below 50% that could potentially double their dividends.

If your income portfolio is hurting and you could use some assistance, what stock should you call upon? I'd say supplemental income insurance giant Aflac (NYSE:AFL) might be a good idea. Shifting gears to the service sector, if you're looking for a company with strong dividend growth potential I would look no further than Jack in the Box (NASDAQ:JACK). Known for its namesake fast food restaurant chain, Jack in the Box also owns Mexican fast-casual chain Qdoba. Lastly, we'll stick with the consumer services sector and turn our attention to a company that offers slow but steady long-term potential: Sealed Air (NYSE:SEE). This is a company that predominantly makes packaging products, such as Bubble Wrap, and it also handles food storage, such as with its Cryovac bags
