I like to screen dividend stocks. I usually end up coming back to the same few fundamentals but its always fun to see how few stocks meet the criteria I’m looking for. There is a lot of junk out there mixed in with the 1600+ stocks that pay a dividend of 2% or more. Here’s a visual breakdown of how the screen went and then I’ve listed the stocks in a table below. Not all of these stocks are going to be good candidates but it can be a starting point and a good reminder than 90% of what’s out there isn’t even worth looking at.
And now here is the list of 86 stocks that met the screen criteria:
