First, about “weekly” dividends
Almost no common stocks pay literally every week. Most pay quarterly, some monthly (many REITs, a few others). For a “weekly income” feel, investors usually combine several reliable dividend payers with staggered payment dates so cash hits the account almost every week.
These filters are therefore designed to find reliable, higher‑quality dividend stocks that can be used to build that kind of steady income stream.
Market Cap ≥ $2B ('market_cap': {'min': '2000000000'})
Sector Filtersector: ['Utilities', 'Consumer Non-Cyclicals', 'Telecommunications Services', 'Real Estate', 'Energy']
Purpose: Target sectors that traditionally pay steady, above‑average dividends.
Rationale:
These sectors are income-oriented and more likely to maintain dividends through economic cycles—ideal when you want reliable, ongoing cash flow.
Themes Filterthemes: ['REITs', 'Oil sector', 'Electric Utility', 'Renewable Energy']
Purpose: Further narrow within those sectors to known dividend-heavy business models.
Rationale:
These themes increase the odds of finding higher and more reliable dividend payers suitable for an income‑focused portfolio.
5‑Year Dividend CAGR ≥ 3%dividend_5yr_cagr: {'min': '3'}
Dividend Yield (TTM) 3–8%dividend_yield_ttm: {'min': '3', 'max': '8'}
Purpose: Find dividends that are meaningfully high, but not so high they’re likely unsustainable.
Rationale:
This range balances income today with a more reasonable chance that the dividend will actually keep being paid.
Dividend Payout Ratio 20–80%dividend_payout_ratio: {'min': '20', 'max': '80'}
Purpose: Ensure dividends are neither token amounts nor likely unsustainable.
Rationale:
Keeping the payout ratio in the 20–80% band helps:
You still won’t get literal weekly paychecks from a single stock, but these filters are well‑aligned with building a diversified, high‑quality dividend portfolio that can be structured to provide cash flows nearly every week of the year.
