How do I use the dividend stock screener?
Combine filters such as yield range, safety score, payout ratio, sector, and valuation to narrow down stocks that match your criteria. For example, applying "Yield ≥ 3% + Safety Score ≥ 70 + Undervalued" quickly surfaces stable high-yield candidates.
What is the Dividend Safety Score?
The Dividend Safety Score summarizes a company's ability to maintain and grow its dividend on a 0–100 scale, incorporating payout ratio, debt level, and earnings stability. Scores above 70 are generally considered safe; below 50 warrants caution.
How is "Undervalued" determined?
A stock is classified as Undervalued when its current dividend yield is more than 10% above its 5-year average yield. This suggests the stock price is trading below its historical norm, potentially offering a buying opportunity for income investors.
