High dividend with high returns

Screening Filters

1. Dividend Yield (TTM) ≥ 5%:

   • Purpose: To identify stocks that provide a high dividend yield, which aligns with the user's request for "high dividend."
   • Rationale: A dividend yield of at least 5% is considered relatively high and indicates that the company is returning a significant portion of its earnings to shareholders in the form of dividends. This filter ensures that only stocks with attractive dividend payouts are included.

2. Annual EPS YoY Growth ≥ 15%:

   • Purpose: To find stocks with strong earnings growth, which aligns with the user's request for "high returns."
   • Rationale: A year-over-year earnings per share (EPS) growth rate of 15% or more suggests that the company is experiencing robust profitability growth. This is a key indicator of a company's ability to generate higher returns for investors over time.

3. Market Capitalization ≥ $10 billion:

   • Purpose: To focus on large-cap companies that are more stable and reliable for dividend payments and consistent growth.
   • Rationale: Large-cap companies (market cap of $10 billion or more) are typically well-established businesses with a proven track record of financial stability. This filter ensures that the selected stocks are less likely to be speculative and more likely to sustain both high dividends and growth.

Why Results Match:

• The combination of a high dividend yield (≥ 5%) and strong earnings growth (≥ 15%) ensures that the selected stocks meet the user's dual criteria of "high dividend" and "high returns." High dividend yield provides immediate income, while strong EPS growth indicates the potential for capital appreciation and future dividend increases.
• The market capitalization filter ensures that the results focus on large, stable companies that are more likely to sustain both high dividends and growth over time, reducing the risk of selecting speculative or volatile stocks.

By applying these filters, the screener identifies stocks that balance income generation with growth potential, addressing the user's query effectively.
