Explanation of Solution

The above answer can be explained as under as the dividend yield is very low i.e. 0.6%. 0.6% is very less when compared with industry yields, and income stocks are the stock which has a steady or a return or a yield which can be equal to near to the current market yields. Income stocks means regular dividends are paid as per the industry or an appropriate amount income is distributed among the shareholders.

So, the stock of Company 4, will not be classified as income stock.
