Our Highest Rated Dividend Stocks
In addition to our idea generation tools, we maintain four hand-picked dividend portfolios and a Top 20 Dividend Stocks list. Subscribers have full access to every portfolio, receive alerts whenever a dividend stock is added or removed from any of the lists, and can view full dividend data on any stock.

Proprietary Ranking System
To rate a dividend stock, we evaluate more than 20 fundamental factors and dividend metrics going back up to 25 years. From payout ratios, profit margins, and debt levels to sales growth, performance during the recession, and dividend growth, we hit all the key factors.
Our resulting Safety, Growth, and Yield Scores answer the three most important questions facing every dividend investor:
Is the current dividend payment safe?
Is the dividend likely to grow?
Is the dividend yield relatively cheap?
These ratings are available for more than 2,200 dividend stocks in our database and are a key starting point for the creation of our hand-picked Top 20 Dividend Stocks list and four dividend portfolios.
