Dividend Quick Picks

Summary

Calvert Research and Management identified 10 top sustainable companies for 2026 using 230 ESG indicators; 8 pay dividends, with 4 deemed 'safer' based on free cash flow yields.

Analyst 1-year target prices project average net gains of 23.78% for these 10 ESG stocks, with Constellation Energy leading at 25.65%.

None of the top dividend-paying ESG stocks are currently 'fair-priced,' but five are within $57 of ideal pricing, suggesting potential future entry points.

Four dividend payers - PFG, ADI, CEG, LRCX - are considered safer for income investors, while others like ORA, JLL, and KMB have negative free-cash-flow margins and are riskier.

Barron’s ninth annual (2026) ranking of Sustainable companies started with the 1,000 largest publicly traded companies by market value, then ranked each by performance for five key constituencies: shareholders, employees, customers, community, and planet.
