Even among utilities, the classic income sector, only one in five dividend payers covers the payout from free cash flow ROTTERDAM, The Netherlands, Nov. 05, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Most US-listed companies do not pay a dividend. A census of the SEC filings of 4,631 US-listed companies by Intrinsiqq, a free stock research site, finds that only 35.2% pay one, as of October 16, 2026. Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway and Tesla are among the companies that pay none. Income investors tend to look to utilities. 69.2% of utilities pay a dividend, more than any other sector, and 52.6% of those payers have raised it for at least ten years in a row. Yet only 20.3% of utility payers (15 of 74) generate enough free cash flow to cover the dividend.
