High dividend nuclear energy stock

Screening Filters

1. Market Cap ≥ 500,000,000

   • Purpose: Focus on mid‑cap and larger companies.
   • Rationale: Larger nuclear-related companies and utilities are more likely to pay stable, meaningful dividends and have the financial strength to maintain them. Very small caps tend to be more speculative and less reliable for income-focused investors.

2. Themes ∈ {Uranium, Electric Utility, Renewable Energy, Nuclear}

   • Purpose: Target businesses directly tied to nuclear energy and closely related power generation.
   • Rationale:
     • Uranium: Captures miners, producers, and processors of uranium—the key fuel for nuclear power.
     • Nuclear: Captures companies explicitly involved in nuclear power generation, technology, or services.
     • Electric Utility: Many nuclear plants are owned by large utilities; this ensures we include dividend-paying utilities with nuclear fleets.
     • Renewable Energy: Some utilities and power producers are tagged under broader “clean/renewable” themes that include nuclear, so this helps catch diversified low‑carbon power producers that still have nuclear assets.

3. Region ∈ {United States, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Japan, South Korea, China, Australia}

   • Purpose: Focus on major, developed nuclear or uranium markets.
   • Rationale: These countries have either significant nuclear power industries (US, France, Japan, South Korea, China, UK) and/or major uranium mining sectors (Canada, Australia). Firms here are more likely to be established, regulated, and dividend-paying.

4. Listing Exchange ∈ {XNYS, XNAS, XASE} (NYSE, NASDAQ, NYSE American)

   • Purpose: Restrict results to major US exchanges.
   • Rationale: Companies listed on these exchanges generally have higher disclosure standards and better liquidity. This helps income investors who want accessible, well‑regulated dividend stocks.

5. Net Margin ≥ 0

   • Purpose: Include only companies that are at least currently profitable.
   • Rationale: Sustainable dividends are hard to maintain if a company consistently loses money. A non‑negative net margin filters out chronically unprofitable firms that may cut dividends.

6. Dividend Yield (TTM) ≥ 3%

   • Purpose: Ensure the stocks qualify as “high dividend” relative to the broader market.
   • Rationale: A 3%+ yield threshold is a common cutoff for income‑oriented investors. This directly aligns with your request for “high dividend” nuclear energy stocks, not just token or very low yields.

7. Dividend Payout Ratio ≤ 130%

   • Purpose: Screen out dividends that are likely unsustainable.
   • Rationale:
     • A payout ratio above 100% can mean the company is paying out more than it earns, often a red flag.
     • Allowing up to 130% provides some flexibility for temporary fluctuations or special accounting effects, but still removes the most extreme, clearly unsustainable payouts.
     • This favors dividends that are more likely to be maintained or grown.

Why Results Match Your Request

• The theme filters (Uranium, Nuclear, Electric Utility, Renewable Energy) directly focus on businesses in or around nuclear energy production and fuel.
• The dividend yield and payout ratio filters hone in on stocks with meaningful, reasonably sustainable dividends, matching your “high dividend” requirement.
• The profitability requirement and minimum market cap favor more established, stable companies, which is important for dividend reliability.
• The region and exchange filters confine the search to major nuclear/uranium markets and well‑regulated exchanges, improving quality and investability of the results.

Together, these filters are designed to find larger, profitable, nuclear-related or uranium-linked utilities and energy companies that pay relatively high, sustainable dividends—exactly what you asked for.
