Best Dividend Paying Stock Lists By Dividend Yield – Stock, Capital, Investment. I’m looking for cheap stocks with a solid dividend. That’s my basic premise
in stock hunting. In order to get new ideas, I make every month a screen about the
best dividend paying stocks on the market.
The best dividend paying stock list is a small compilation with seven tough investing criteria,
summarized below. The list includes each month around 20 to 30 results. It’s a
quick dividend list (from low-yield to high-yield paying stocks) of stocks with
interesting performance and valuation figures. Stocks from that list are mid-
and large caps (market capitalization of more than USD 1 billion) with double-digit
long-term earnings growth rates. The companies are traded at AMEX, NYSE, NASDAQ
and part of the Dow Jones, S&P 500 or Nasdaq Composite. The list is
selected by the following criteria and sorted by dividend yield.
Market Capitalization: > 1 Billion
Price/Earnings Ratio: > 0 < 100
Dividend Yield: > 3 < 20
Return on Investment: > 10 < 100
Operating Margin: > 10 < 100
10 Year Revenue Growth: > 8 < 200
10 Year EPS Growth: > 10 < 100
