An income stock usually pays regular dividends to its shareholders. Income stocks tend to be well-established companies with strong financial performance. These companies are usually found in mature industries, for example, the utility industry. As a result, income stocks are less volatile, on average, than the overall stock market and tend to offer steady dividends.
Compared with growth stocks, companies issuing income stocks are less likely to reinvest their earnings into research and development, thus generating high dividend yield. On the other hand, companies issuing income stocks have fewer chances to expand and grow at a fast pace.
