3 Dividend Stocks With High Growth Potential

Dividend and income stocks are great, but sometimes you might want a little bit more for your portfolio. Do growth potential and a nice dividend have to be mutually exclusive? Stocks that check both boxes are harder to find — but it is possible.

In fact, we have a Zen Strategies portfolio tailored to fit this need. With it, you’ll find a bunch of top-rated stocks (by our Zen Ratings system) that have both the income and potential growth you’re looking for. And here, we’re looking at three of them:

1. Standard Motor Products (NYSE:SMP)

Last we checked, automotive replacement parts were still in demand, even in (and perhaps especially in) uncertain times. The longstanding SMP has the attention of investors, boasting a Component Grade of A for Sentiment, and has had an excellent run over the last six months (see below).

Additionally, it offers a dividend that is slightly above the industry average, with a dividend yield that generally increases over time. This fact, combined with the sentiment about the stock, makes it an excellent candidate for an income stock you’ll want to look at.

2. Regional Management Corp (NYSE:RM)

A loan management and provider for those who may not have easy access to consumer credit, RM stands to potentially do well. Consumer credit remains necessary for these subsets, especially for large, unavoidable purchases. Although the dividend is below the industry average, it remains at a decent 2.31%, which may still be suitable for those also seeking growth from the stock.

It is also, according to its Component Grades, above average wholly across the board in every area (a rare feat for any stock). Being a jack-of-all-trades, so to speak, can mean a lot more to a portfolio than a career.

3. Global Industrial Co (NYSE: GIC)

A longstanding business (founded in 1949) that mostly specializes in direct-to-business selling of industrial products and office supplies, GIC is currently noteworthy to us for a few key reasons:

  • It has provided a 2.81% dividend yield over the past 12 months, well above the industry average of 1.67%
  • It recently declared excellent results in Q2 2025, and its share jumped in price at the time as a result. Despite this, there is still room to grow.
  • It has a Zen Rating of A. More specifically, it has strong Component Grades across the board (see below), with an A in Financials. This indicates strong financial health and a relatively safer pick, at least compared to other stocks.
