Unlike stocks only purchased for capital gains, dividend stocks have many extra data points to examine before purchasing. What is the yield ? Has this company been paying out consistently, even through recessions ? Have they been raising dividend per share ? What is the payout ratio ? When did they last cut the dividend or miss a payment ? The Active Passive Screener looks at all these data points, and assigns a score to each stock on the list. We take the top scorers for further investigation. The group of top scorers can vary from month to month or week to week depending on the stock price fluctuation and how that affects the yield. And the company's actions around dividend will heavily influence the score -- cut dividend and scores drop.
Today's top scorers are listed below. These are not buy recommendations. This are merely stocks to investigate further and see if they meet entry criteria.
