How is dividend yield calculated?

Dividend yield is the annual dividend per share divided by the current stock price, expressed as a percentage. A 3% yield means the company pays $3 in dividends per year for every $100 invested.

What does consecutive years mean?

Consecutive years counts how many years in a row a company has paid dividends without interruption. A long streak (e.g. 20+ years) suggests a reliable dividend policy.

What is the payout ratio?

The payout ratio is the percentage of earnings paid out as dividends. A ratio of 50% means half of earnings go to dividends. Very high ratios (above 100%) may be unsustainable.

How are high dividend stocks selected?

Companies must have a dividend yield of at least 0.5% and at least one consecutive year of dividend payments. They are ranked by yield from highest to lowest.

How often is the data updated?

Dividend data is recalculated daily using the latest share prices and the most recent annual financial statements. Historical dividend payments are sourced from SEC filings.

How it works

This screener surfaces US stocks with above-average dividend yields and consistent payout histories. It helps identify income-generating opportunities for dividend-focused investors.

Key metrics:

Dividend Yield — annual dividend per share divided by the current stock price. Higher yield means more income per dollar invested.
Dividend Per Share (DPS) — the dollar amount paid per share in the most recent fiscal year, derived from the cash flow statement.
Payout Ratio — percentage of earnings paid as dividends. A ratio above 100% means the company is paying more than it earns, which may not be sustainable.
Consecutive Years — the number of uninterrupted years the company has paid dividends. Long streaks indicate a reliable dividend policy.

Companies must have a dividend yield of at least 0.5% and at least one consecutive year of payments to appear. Results are ranked by yield from highest to lowest.
