I wish to concentrate on bigger, more diversified organizations in the U.S. because of their inalienable quality and solidness. Next, I will utilize three profit related criteria to choose several dividend all-stars.

To start with, I will choose only those organizations with dividend yields of 3 percent or more. By the way, the sustainable of the dividend payments are also in focus of my research.

It doesn’t make sense when a company pays its investor one or two years and then cuts the income stream for the following once – I will screen for companies with a dividend coverage ratio of no less than 250 percent.

The dividend coverage is characterized as the earnings in relation to the dividend payments. The higher the ratio, the lower the dividend payouts and the higher the dividend coverage should be.

Good companies, like Dividend Kings, can pay stable dividends or let grow when despite earnings are falling by 50 percent due to high dividend coverage.

At last, I will search for stocks with a reputation of raising their profit payouts over the long haul. I will search for a five-year normal dividend growth rate of not less than 3 percent every year.

Attached are my 11 results of which five are highlighted in detail. I hope you find some values in my work and the current screen. Thank you for reading.

These are my favorites from the results…
