The stock of a company that doesn’t capitalize on internal resources for expansion and product development. Rather, it uses its earnings to pay dividends to its shareholders. Income stocks are typically those of mature companies with a history of stable earnings. A typical income stock has a higher-than-average dividend payout (typically 4% or more) and is acquired primarily for income- not for extraordinary growth potential.
