Unbelievable. Un-frigging-believable. People will actually pay you (yes, you) to own shares in their company. Crazy, hunh?!

It's surprising more people don't take advantage of dividend investing. There are high quality companies out there that are not only undervalued but also produce a wicked yield.

That's the sweet spot for us: A company that has the potential to have a good run up and will also pay us to wait. It's the best of both worlds.

As usual, we looked high and low, making calls to long lost lovers, sea-faring captains, and even my cousin Esmerelda, to find a group of stocks that have sustainable dividends and are highly profitable. More specifically, each of these companies are undervalued or close to their fair value according to a discounted cash flow valuation using a 15% discount rate, have a market cap of at least $1B and have a dividend yield of at least 5%.

Here are these 10 titans of industry with plenty of upside that will pay you in the meantime:

1. AT&T (T)

T provides telecommunication services to consumers, businesses and other service providers worldwide. AT&T has a market cap over $200 billion, a yield of 5%, and is consistently profitable. Trading at $34.56, analysts don't put this stocks' value much higher than that. Target prices range between $26.50 and $36.50. According to them, in the best case scenario, there isn't much room to run. Vuru's Growth Price puts the value of this business at $46.69 per share, suggesting an upside of 35%.
