Investors who rely on income are already seeing companies reduce or eliminate dividend payouts as the coronavirus spreads

The deadly coronavirus is taking a toll on financial markets around the world. Stock-price declines have been swift and relentless.

Now there is intense pressure for companies to shore up cash reserves, not only by reducing investment and suspending share buybacks, but by cutting dividend payouts.

Jefferies global equity strategist Sean Darby has listed 60 companies in the S&P 500 that he and his colleagues think are "susceptible to a dividend cut."
