Dividends

Overview​

The Dividends profile focuses on actively traded stocks that pay dividends. It brings together payout timing, yield, price performance, liquidity, and quality metrics so you can evaluate dividend names in one place instead of piecing them together manually.

This profile is useful for comparing income-producing stocks, tracking upcoming dividend events, and narrowing the list to names that also show stronger fundamentals, healthier price behavior, or better institutional support.

info

This profile updates in real time and applies filters automatically to show only dividend-paying stocks with active trading activity. Results are sorted by dollar volume rank to keep the most liquid names at the top.

Strategy Focus​

  • Surface dividend-paying stocks that are still actively traded and relevant for screening
  • Track upcoming dividend amounts and payment dates in one view
  • Compare estimated yield across liquid names without leaving the screener
  • Focus on stronger issuers using MarketAlpha, EPS, Sales, and Profit Ratings
  • Monitor institutional behavior around dividend windows with accumulation and distribution signals
  • Prioritize dividend stocks that also belong to stronger industries or themes

Filters Applied​

  • Dividend-paying stocks only: Includes only tickers with a confirmed dividend history or an upcoming dividend schedule, keeping the results focused on names that are relevant for income, event, and payout-based workflows.

Metrics Used​

Dividend Structure and Timing​

  • Last Dividend: Shows the most recent dividend paid per share, helping confirm payout consistency and recent distribution size.
  • Dividend Frequency: Shows how often dividends are paid, such as monthly, quarterly, or annually, which helps set realistic income expectations.
  • Dividend Annual Per Share (%): Annualized dividend amount relative to price, useful for quickly comparing payout size across stocks.
  • Dividend Yield Estimated (%): Estimates the forward 12-month dividend yield based on the annualized payout and current price.
  • Next Dividend: Displays the expected upcoming dividend amount, helping you track near-term payout opportunities.
  • Next Dividend In Days: Shows how many days remain until the next dividend event, useful when screening around timing.
  • Next Dividend Date: Displays the scheduled upcoming dividend date for planning and review.

Quality and Fundamental Support​

  • MarketAlpha Rating: A broad relative strength and quality signal that helps separate stronger dividend names from weaker ones.
  • EPS Rating, Sales Rating, Profit Rating: Add important context on earnings quality, revenue strength, and profitability behind the payout.

Price Behavior and Capital Flow​

  • Accumulation/Distribution Score: Highlights whether institutional activity appears supportive or distributive around the stock.
  • Relative Strength 1 Year: Shows how the stock has performed over the last year relative to the broader universe.
  • Return Year to Date (%): Helps compare current-year price performance alongside income potential.

Group and Liquidity Context​

  • Industry Rating 1 Year, Theme Rating 1 Year: Show whether the stock belongs to a stronger or weaker part of the market.
  • Last Price ($): Current price, relevant when comparing yield, payout size, and overall positioning.
  • Dollar Volume Rank: Keeps the focus on the most liquid dividend names first, which makes the profile easier to use for active screening.

Default Sorting Logic​

Results are sorted by Dollar Volume Rank (ascending) so the most liquid dividend-paying stocks appear first.

  • Compare estimated yield and payout frequency across active names
  • Narrow the list to dividend stocks with stronger fundamentals and better long-term performance
